Tips for printing custom sizes
l Do not print on media smaller than 3 inches (76.2 mm) wide or 5
inches (127 mm) tall.
l Set margins of at least 0.25 inch (6.4 mm) in your software.
l Always insert media vertically (portrait orientation) into the
product. If you want to print in landscape mode, make this
selection through your software.
Tips for printing envelopes
l Low operating humidity (less than 50 percent relative humidity)
often results in a background gray cast. (This is often most
noticeable during the winter months.) For best results, print
envelopes in an environment with humidity of 50 percent or more.
Also, try to store envelopes in that same condition for at least 24
hours before printing. (Note that background gray cast is
sometimes also evident just after installing a new toner cartridge.)
l If possible, verify that envelope adhesive can withstand
temperatures up to 392° F (200° C). This is the temperature of
the fusing assembly during printing.
l If envelopes are coming out wrinkled, try flattening the edges of
the envelope with a ruler or other flat object before feeding it
through the product. Or, try using a different brand of envelope.
l Keep the printer clean. Contaminants such as loose toner and
paper dust can interfere with the printing process.
