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/m
2 (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.

• Envelopes with a peel-off adhesive strip or with more than one flap that
folds over to seal must use adhesives compatible with the machine’s
fusing temperature of about 170°C (338 °F) for 0.1 second. The extra
flaps and strips might cause wrinkling, creasing, or jams, and may even
damage the fuser.
• For the best print quality, position margins no closer than 15 mm (0.6
inches) from the edges of the envelope.
• Avoid printing over the area where the envelope’s seams meet.
Labels
Load the paper with the side to be printed on facing down.
To avoid damaging the machine, use only labels designed for use in laser
machines.
• When selecting labels, consider the following factors:
- Adhesives: The adhesive material should be stable at your
machine’s fusing temperature of about 170°C (338 °F) for 0.1
second.
- Arrangement: Only use labels with no exposed backing between
them. Labels can peel off sheets that have spaces between the
labels, causing serious jams.
- Curl: Prior to printing, labels must lie flat with no more than 13 mm
(0.5 inches) of curl in any direction.
- Condition: Do not use labels with wrinkles, bubbles, or other
indications of separation.
• Make sure that there is no exposed adhesive material between labels.
Exposed areas can cause labels to peel off during printing, which can
cause paper jams. Exposed adhesive can also cause damage to
machine components.
• Do not run a sheet of labels through the machine more than once. The
adhesive backing is designed for only a single pass through the
machine.
• Do not use labels that are separating from the backing sheet or are
wrinkled, bubbled, or damaged.
