Guidelines
Buying and Storing Envelopes
Use only paper envelopes specified in “Supported Papers” on page 9. Successful envelope
printing is highly dependent on the quality and construction of the envelopes. Use
envelopes made specifically for laser printers.
It is recommended that you maintain constant temperatures and relative humidity.
Store unused envelopes in their packaging to avoid the effects of moisture and dryness
which can affect print quality and cause wrinkling. Excessive moisture can cause the
envelopes to seal before or during printing.
Avoid padded envelopes; purchase envelopes that lie flat on a surface.
You may remove air “bubbles” from the envelopes before loading by setting a heavy book
on top of the envelopes.
Preparing to Print
Follow these guidelines to prevent wrinkling problems:
Use only Tray 1 (MPT) to print envelopes.
Print only on the front of the envelope.
Perform these steps when using an application that includes a tool for creating an envelope
document:
Select

.
Select the feed method with the image centered.
Clear
Clockwise Rotation
.
Load a maximum of 10 envelopes at a time. This printer is not designed to handle
high-capacity production envelope printing.
Caution
Never use envelopes with windows or metal clasps; they can damage the printer. Damage
caused by using unsupported envelopes is not covered under the Xerox warranty, service
agreement, or Total Satisfaction Guarantee.
