CAUTION Envelopes with adhesive strips or flaps Envelopes with a peel-off adhesive strip or with more than one flap that folds over to seal must use adhesives that are compatible with the heat and pressure in the printer. The extra flaps and strips might cause wrinkling, creasing, or jams, and can even damage the fuser and separation pad. Envelope storage Proper storage of envelopes contributes to good print quality. Envelopes should be stored flat. If air is trapped in an envelope and creates an air bubble, then the envelope might wrinkle during printing. Envelopes with double side seams Double-side-seam construction has vertical seams at both ends of the envelope rather than diagonal seams. This style might be more likely to wrinkle. Be sure that the seam extends all the way to the corner of the envelope, as illustrated. Figure 10. Correct double side seam Figure 11. Incorrect double side seam Note Envelope margins The following gives typical address margins for a commercial #10 or DL envelope. Type of address Return address Delivery address Top margin 15 mm (0.6 inch) 51 mm (2 inches) Left margin 15 mm (0.6 inch) 89 mm (3.5 inches) For the best print quality, position margins no closer than 15 mm (0.6 inch) from the edges of the envelope. Avoid printing over the area where the envelope seams meet. 40 Installation ENWW
