Envelope Margins

The following table gives typical address margins for a Commercial
#10 or DL envelope.

Note

For the best print quality, position margins no closer than 0.6 inch
(15 millimeters) from the edges of the envelope.

Envelope Storage

Proper storage of envelopes helps contribute to good print quality.
Envelopes should be stored flat. If air is trapped in an envelope,
creating an air bubble, then the envelope may wrinkle during
printing.

Card Stock and Heavy Paper

Many types of card stock can be printed from Tray 1, including index
cards and postcards. Some card stock performs better than others
because its construction is better suited for feeding through a laser
printer.

For optimum printer performance, do not use paper heavier than
53 lb (199 g/m

2

) in Tray 1 or 28 lb (105 g/m

2

) in other trays. Paper

that is too heavy might cause misfeeds, stacking problems, paper
jams, poor toner fusing, poor print quality, or excessive mechanical
wear.

Note

Printing on heavier paper may be possible if the tray is not filled to
capacity, and paper with a smoothness rating of 100-180 Sheffield
is used.
