Guidelines for printing on letterhead or preprinted forms ● Do not use letterhead paper that is printed with low-temperature inks, such as those used in some types of thermography. ● Do not use raised or embossed letterhead. ● The printer uses heat and pressure to fuse toner to the paper. Make sure that any colored paper or preprinted forms use inks that are compatible with this fusing temperature (200°C or 392°F for 0.1 second). Printing on envelopes You can print envelopes from tray 1. Tray 1 holds up to 10 envelopes and supports standard or custom sizes. For printing on any size of envelope, make sure to set the margins in your program at least 15.0 mm (0.6 in) from the edge of the envelope. To minimize curl and wrinkling, always print envelopes to the rear output bin. The printer might print at a slower speed when printing envelopes. In addition, printing performance depends on the construction of the envelope. Always test a few sample envelopes before purchasing a large quantity. For envelope specifications, see Paper specifications on page 160. WARNING! Never use envelopes that contain coated linings, exposed self-stick adhesives, or other synthetic materials. These items can emit noxious fumes. CAUTION: Envelopes that have clasps, snaps, windows, coated linings, exposed self-stick adhesives, or other synthetic materials can severely damage the printer. To avoid jams and possible printer damage, never try to print on both sides of an envelope. Before you load envelopes, make sure that they are flat and not damaged or stuck together. Do not use envelopes that contain pressure-sensitive adhesive. To load envelopes in tray 1 Many types of envelopes can be printed from tray 1. Up to 10 can be stacked in the tray. 1. Open tray 1 and pull out the tray extension. If the envelopes are longer than 229 mm (9 in), flip open the smaller tray extension. ENWW Printing on special media 59

Do not use letterhead paper that is printed with low-temperature inks, such as those used in some
types of thermography.
Do not use raised or embossed letterhead.
The printer uses heat and pressure to fuse toner to the paper. Make sure that any colored paper
or preprinted forms use inks that are compatible with this fusing temperature (200°C or 392°F for

Printing on envelopes
You can print envelopes from tray 1. Tray 1 holds up to 10 envelopes and supports standard or custom
sizes.
For printing on any size of envelope, make sure to set the margins in your program at least 15.0 mm
(0.6 in) from the edge of the envelope.
To minimize curl and wrinkling, always print envelopes to the rear output bin.
The printer might print at a slower speed when printing envelopes. In addition, printing performance
depends on the construction of the envelope. Always test a few sample envelopes before purchasing

WARNING!
Never use envelopes that contain coated linings, exposed self-stick adhesives, or other
synthetic materials. These items can emit noxious fumes.
CAUTION:
Envelopes that have clasps, snaps, windows, coated linings, exposed self-stick adhesives,
or other synthetic materials can severely damage the printer. To avoid jams and possible printer
damage, never try to print on both sides of an envelope. Before you load envelopes, make sure that
they are flat and not damaged or stuck together. Do not use envelopes that contain pressure-sensitive
adhesive.
To load envelopes in tray 1
Many types of envelopes can be printed from tray 1. Up to 10 can be stacked in the tray.
1.
Open tray 1 and pull out the tray extension. If the envelopes are longer than 229 mm (9 in), flip
open the smaller tray extension.
