Printing envelopes With the optional envelope feeder, the printer will automatically feed up to 75 envelopes. To order an envelope feeder, see "Ordering information" on page 22. To print with the envelope feeder, see "Feeding envelopes automatically (optional envelope feeder)" on page 57. For envelope specifications, see "Envelopes" on page 197. Many types of envelopes can be printed from tray 1. Up to 10 can be stacked in the tray. Printing performance depends on the construction of the envelope. Always test a few sample envelopes before purchasing a large quantity. q In the software, set margins at least 15 mm (0.6 in) from the edge of the envelope. q Open the rear output bin to get a straight paper path. This produces better results if envelopes are curling. If you print large quantities of envelopes continuously or if you interleave envelopes with wide media, you might need to select SMALL PAPER SPEED = SLOW at the printer control panel. This setting reduces the throughput speed of narrow media to allow the heat generated from printing this media to dissipate. Although using this feature will slow your printer's throughput speed, it will help protect your printer from damage while ensuring excellent print quality. WARNING! Never use envelopes with coated linings, exposed self-stick adhesives, or other synthetic materials. These items can emit noxious fumes. CAUTION Envelopes with clasps, snaps, windows, coated linings, exposed selfstick adhesives, or other synthetic materials can severely damage the printer. To avoid jamming and possible printer damage, never try to print on both sides of an envelope. Before you load envelopes, make sure they are flat and not damaged or stuck together. Do not use envelopes with pressure-sensitive adhesive. EN Printing special paper 55
