Printing on Envelopes
Envelopes can be printed from Tray 1 (MPT) only.
Guidelines
•
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.
•
Remove air bubbles from the envelopes before loading by setting a heavy book on top of the
envelopes.
•
If wrinkling or embossing problems occur, use a different brand of envelopes made
specifically for laser printers.
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 Dell warranty or
service agreement.
Printing on Labels
Labels can be printed from Tray 1 (MPT) only.
To order paper, transparencies, or other specialty media, go to the Dell Supplies website at
www.dell.com/supplies
.
Guidelines
•
Do not use vinyl labels.
•
Print only on one side of the sheet of labels. Use full sheet labels only.
•
Do not use any sheet where labels are missing; it may damage the printer.
•
Store unused labels flat in their original packaging. Leave the sheets of labels inside the
original packaging until ready to use. Return any unused sheets of labels to the original
packaging and reseal it.
•
Do not store labels in extremely dry or humid conditions or extremely hot or cold conditions.
Storing them in extreme conditions may cause print quality problems or cause them to jam in
the printer.
•
Rotate stock frequently. Long periods of storage in extreme conditions can cause labels to
curl and jam in the printer.
•
In the printer driver, select either
Labels
as the paper type or Tray 1 (MPT) as the paper
source.
