Envelopes
Various types and sizes of envelopes can be printed/copied on the Pro 215 using the alternate
paper tray.
Selecting Envelopes
The construction of envelopes is critical to printing performance and varies widely. Use high-quality
envelopes that are thin and sharply creased. Test a few envelopes before you purchase large
quantities.
Sizes: Minimum: 3 x 5” / 76 x 127mm
Maximum 8.5 x 14” / 216 x 356mm
Hints: Try to avoid printing over the area where the envelope’s three back flaps meet.
Printing/Copying on an envelope:
1. Load one envelope at a time into the paper tray bypass or alternate paper tray.
• Make sure that the leading edge of the envelope is straight and firmly creased.
• For the best print quality, position margins no closer than .5”/ 13mm from the edges of the
envelope.
2. Slide the envelope into the bypass, flap side up and toward the rear.
Caution: The types of envelopes described below can severely damage your machine.
• Never use envelopes with clasps, snaps, windows, coated linings, exposed self-stick
adhesives, or other synthetic materials.
• Never use envelopes with glues, inks, and adhesives that could discolor, scorch, or melt
when heat is applied.
• Never try to print on both sides of an envelope. Jamming and damage can result.
Envelope Storage:
Proper storage of envelopes helps ensure successful feeding and printing.
• Envelopes should be protected from moisture. Excessive moisture can cause wrinkles and
sealed flaps.
• Envelopes should be stored flat. Air can become entrapped during printing and cause creases
to form. Flat storage helps prevent air entrapment.
