Vellum

Vellum is special lightweight paper similar to parchment. Print
vellum from Tray 1 only, and open the rear output bin. Do not print
on both sides of vellum.

Vellum used in the printer must be able to withstand 392° F
(200° C), the printer’s maximum temperature. To print vellum, see
page 55.

Envelopes

Envelope Construction

Envelope construction is critical. Envelope fold lines can vary
considerably, not only between manufacturers, but also within a box
from the same manufacturer. Successful printing on envelopes
depends upon the quality of the envelopes. When selecting
envelopes, consider the following components:

Weight:

The weight of the envelope paper should not exceed

28 lb (105 g/m

2

), or jamming may result.

Construction:

Prior to printing, envelopes should lie flat with less

than 0.25 inch (6 mm) curl, and should not contain air. (Envelopes
that trap air may cause problems.)

Condition:

Make sure envelopes are not wrinkled, nicked, or

otherwise damaged.

Sizes in Tray 1: From 3 by 5 inches (76 by 127 mm) to 12.28 by
18.5 inches (312 by 470 mm).

Always print envelopes from Tray 1 (page 42). To prevent envelopes
from wrinkling or jamming, open the rear output bin.
