Types of envelopes to avoid
Do not use envelopes:
that are damaged, curled, wrinkled, or unusual shape
that are extremely shiny or textured
with clasps, snaps or tie strings
with self-adhesive closures
that are of a baggy construction
that are not sharply creased
that are embossed (have raised writing on them)
that were previously printed by a laser printer
that are pre-printed on the inside
that cannot be arranged when put in a pile
that are made of paper that weighs more than the paper weight specifications for the printer
that have been badly made, with edges that are not straight or consistently square
with windows, holes, cutouts or perforations
IF YOU USE ANY OF THE TYPES OF ENVELOPES LISTED ABOVE, THEY MAY DAMAGE YOUR PRINTER.
Note
•
Do not put different types of paper in the paper tray at the same time because it may cause paper jams
or misfeeds.
•
Do not print envelopes using 2 sided printing.
•
For proper printing, you must choose the same paper size from your software application as the paper
in the tray.
•
Most envelopes will be suitable for your printer. However, some envelopes will have feed and print-quality
problems because of the way they have been made. A suitable envelope should have edges with straight,
well-creased folds and the leading edge should not be thicker than two pieces of paper. The envelope should
lie flat and not be of baggy or flimsy construction. You should buy quality envelopes from a supplier who
understands that you will be using the envelopes in a laser printer. Before you print a lot of envelopes, test
one to make sure that the print results are what you want.
Note
We will not recommend a particular envelope because envelope manufacturers may change the envelope
specifications. You are responsible for the quality and performance of the envelopes you use.
