Envelopes with adhesive strips or flaps

Envelopes with a peel-off adhesive strip or with more than one flap that folds over to seal must use
adhesives compatible with the heat and pressure in the printer. The extra flaps and strips might cause
wrinkling, creasing, or even jams and might even damage the fuser.

Envelope margins

The following gives typical address margins for a commercial #10 or DL envelope.

Type of address

Top margin

Left margin

Return address

15 mm (0.6 in)

15 mm (0.6 in)

Delivery address

51 mm (2 in)

89 mm (3.5 in)

NOTE:

For the best print quality, position margins no closer than 15 mm (0.6 in) from the edges of

the envelope. Avoid printing over the area where the envelope seams meet.

Envelope storage

Proper storage of envelopes helps contribute to print quality. Envelopes should be stored flat. If air is
trapped in an envelope, creating an air bubble, then the envelope might wrinkle during printing.

Labels

CAUTION:

To avoid damaging the printer, use only labels recommended for laser printers. To prevent

serious jams, always use tray 1 to print labels and always use the rear output bin. Never print on the
same sheet of labels more than once or print on a partial sheet of labels.
