Envelope Successful printing on envelopes depends upon the quality of the envelopes. To print an envelope, place it with the flap side up. • When selecting envelopes, consider the following factors: - Weight: The weight of the envelope paper should not exceed 90 g/m2 (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.
