Note CAUTION Envelopes Successful printing on envelopes depends on the quality of the envelopes. When selecting envelopes, consider the following components. When printing on envelopes, make sure to set the ENVELOPE type at the control panel when you load the tray, and in the printer driver when you print your print job. Envelope construction Envelope construction is critical. Envelope fold lines can vary considerably, not only between manufacturers but also within a box from the same manufacturer. q Construction: Before printing, envelopes should lie flat with less than 6 mm (0.25 inch) curl and should not contain air. (Envelopes that trap air can cause printing problems.) q Condition: Make sure that envelopes are not wrinkled, nicked, or otherwise damaged. Envelopes with adhesive strips or multiple 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 of the printer. The extra flaps might cause wrinkling, creasing, or jams. 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. Make sure that the seam extends all the way to the corner of the envelope. 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. Envelope margins The following table gives typical address margins for a Commercial #10 or DL envelope. Type of address Top margin Left margin Return address 15 mm (0.6 inch) 15 mm (0.6 inch) Delivery address 51 mm (2 inches) 85 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. Do not use envelopes that contain pressure-sensitive adhesive, clasps, snaps, windows, coated linings, exposed self-stick adhesives, or other synthetic materials. 3 Selecting and using media 101
