Envelope guidelines

When printing on envelopes:

•

Use only new, undamaged envelopes.

•

Make sure the glue is not exposed.

•

Remember that a combination of high humidity (over 60%)
and the high printing temperatures may seal the envelopes.

•

Be sure to select

Env

Feeder

or

MP Feeder

as the paper

source and set the correct envelope size.

The laser printing process heats envelopes to a temperature of
200

o

C (392

o

F). Use only envelopes that are able to withstand these

temperatures without sealing, excessive curling, wrinkling, or releas-
ing hazardous emissions. If you have any doubts about the enve-
lopes you are considering using, check with the envelope supplier.

For best performance, use envelopes made from 75 g/m

2

(20 lb

bond) paper. You can use up to 105 g/m

2

(28 lb bond) weight for the

multipurpose feeder or 105 g/m

2

(28 lb bond) weight for the enve-

lope feeder as long as the cotton content is 25% or less. Envelopes
with 100% cotton content must not exceed 90 g/m

2

(24 lb bond)

weight.
