When printing on envelopes:

•

Feed envelopes from the manual feeder or optional multipurpose feeder.

•

Set the Paper Type to Envelope, and select the envelope size.

•

Use envelopes designed specifically for laser printers. Check with the manufacturer or vendor to ensure the
envelopes can withstand temperatures up to 200°C (392°F) without sealing, wrinkling, curling excessively, or
releasing hazardous emissions.

•

For the best performance, use envelopes made from 60 g/m

2

(16 lb bond) paper. Use up to 105 g/m

2

(28 lb bond)

weight for envelopes as long as the cotton content is 25% or less. All-cotton envelopes must not exceed
90 g/m

2

(24 lb bond) weight.

•

Use only new envelopes.

•

To optimize performance and minimize jams, do not use envelopes that:

–

Have excessive curl or twist

–

Are stuck together or damaged in any way

–

Have windows, holes, perforations, cutouts, or embossing

–

Have metal clasps, string ties, or folding bars

–

Have an interlocking design

–

Have postage stamps attached

–

Have any exposed adhesive when the flap is in the sealed or closed position

–

Have bent corners

–

Have rough, cockle, or laid finishes

•

Adjust the width guides to fit the width of the envelopes.

Note: A combination of high humidity (over 60%) and the high printing temperature may wrinkle or seal envelopes.

Tips on using paper labels

Print samples on the labels being considered for use before buying large quantities.

Note: Use only paper label sheets.

When printing on labels:

•

From MarkVision Professional, the printer software, or the printer control panel, set the Paper Type to Labels.

•

Use only letter-, A4-, or legal-size label sheets.

•

Use labels designed specifically for laser printers. Check with the manufacturer or vendor to verify that:

–

The labels can withstand temperatures up to 200°C (392°F) without sealing, excessive curling, wrinkling, or
releasing hazardous emissions.

–

Label adhesives, face sheet (printable stock), and topcoats can withstand up to 25 psi (172 kPa) pressure
without delaminating, oozing around the edges, or releasing hazardous fumes.

•

Do not use labels with slick backing material.

•

Use full label sheets. Partial sheets may cause labels to peel off during printing, resulting in a jam. Partial sheets
also contaminate the printer and the cartridge with adhesive, and could void the printer and cartridge warranties.

•

Do not use labels with exposed adhesive.

•

Do not print within 1 mm (0.04 in.) of the edge of the label, of the perforations, or between die-cuts of the label.

•

Be sure adhesive backing does not reach to the sheet edge. Zone coating of the adhesive at least 1 mm (0.04 in.)
away from edges is recommended. Adhesive material contaminates the printer and could void the warranty.
