Printing Methods  Media Type 1 Thick Paper Thicker Paper Label Envelopes  Paper Source Env. Thin Env. Thick MP Tray For any other settings, see Driver and Software in Chapter 2. Note • The name of options in the drop-down lists may vary depending on your operating system and its version. • When you use Envelope #10, choose Com-10 (for Windows®) or #10 Envelope (for Macintosh) from the Paper Size drop-down list. • For other envelopes that are not listed in the printer driver, such as Envelope #9 or Envelope C6, choose User Defined... (for Windows® printer driver), PostScript Custom Page Size (for BR-Script printer driver for Windows®) or Custom Page Sizes (for Macintosh printer driver). f Send the print data to the machine. Note • Remove each envelope as soon as it has been printed. Stacking the envelopes may cause them to jam or curl. • If envelopes or thick paper get smudged during printing set the Media Type to Env. Thick or Thicker Paper to increase the fixing temperature. • If the envelopes are creased after they are printed, see Improving the print quality uu page 151. • If your thick paper curls during printing, put only one sheet at a time in the MP tray. • Envelope joints that are sealed by the manufacturer should be secure. • All sides of the envelope should be properly folded without wrinkles or creases. g Close the back cover (face-up output tray). 17
