Printing on special media
The table below shows the available special media for each tray.
When using special media, we recommend you feed a piece of paper
at a time. Check the maximum input number of media for each tray
(see "Print media specifications" on page 249).
The media types are shown in the
Printing Preferences
. This paper type
option allows you to set the type of paper to be loaded in the tray. This
setting appears in the list so that you can select it. This will let you get the
best quality printout. If not, the desired print quality may not be achieved.

Envelope
Successful printing on envelopes depends upon the quality of the
envelopes.
To print an envelope, place it with the flap side up.

Weight:
The weight of the envelope paper should not exceed
90 g/m
2
(16 lb) otherwise, a jam may occur.
-
Construction:
Prior to printing, envelopes should lie flat with less
than 6 mm (0.25 inches) curl, and should not contain air.
-
Condition:
Envelopes should not be wrinkled, nicked, or damaged.
-
Temperature:
Use envelopes that are compatible with the heat and
pressure of the machine during operation.
•
Use only well-constructed envelopes with sharp-and well-creased folds.
•
Do not use stamped envelopes.
•
Do not use envelopes with clasps, snaps, windows, coated lining,
self-adhesive seals, or other synthetic materials.
•
Do not use damaged or poorly made envelopes.
•
Be sure the seam at both ends of the envelope extends all the way to
the corner of the envelope.
