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 product. 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 device, 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.
Label construction
When selecting labels, consider the quality of each component:
●
Adhesives: The adhesive material should be stable at 200°C (392°F), which is the product fusing
temperature.
●
Arrangement: Only use labels with no exposed backing between them. Labels can peel off sheets
with spaces between the labels, causing serious jams.
●
Curl: Prior to printing, labels must lie flat with no more than 5 mm (0.2 in) of curl in any direction.
●
Condition: Do not use labels with wrinkles, bubbles, or other indications of separation.
NOTE:
Choose labels in the printer driver (see
Open the printer drivers on page 9
).
Transparencies
Transparencies used in the product must be able to withstand 200°C (392°F), which is the product fusing
temperature.
CAUTION:
To avoid damaging the product, use only transparencies recommended for laser printers.
To prevent serious jams, always use tray 1 to print transparencies and always use the rear output bin.
Never print on the same transparency more than once or print on a partial transparency.
