Most envelopes will be suitable for your printer. However, some
envelopes will have feed and print-quality problems because of the
way they have been made. A suitable envelope should have edges
with straight, well-creased folds and the leading edge should not be
thicker than two pieces of paper. The envelope should lie flat and not
be of baggy or flimsy construction. You should buy quality envelopes
from a supplier who understands that you will be using the envelopes
in a laser printer. Before you print a lot of envelopes, test one to
make sure that the print results are what you want.
■ During printing, the inside tray rises to feed paper into the
printer.
■ If envelopes get smudged during printing, in the printer
driver select MP Tray as the Paper Source for a straight
paper path. Then, set the Media Type to Thick Paper or
Thicker Paper to increase the fixing temperature. To adjust
the print density setting, see Chapter 3.
■ Envelope joints that are sealed by the manufacturer should
be secure.
■ All sides should be properly folded without any wrinkles or
creases.
Brother will not recommend a particular envelope because
envelope manufacturers may change the envelope
specifications. You are responsible for the quality and
performance of envelopes you use.
