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

Avoid printing over the area where the envelope seams meet.

Envelope storage

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

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 90 g/m

2

(24 lb) or jamming

might occur.

Construction: Before printing, envelopes should lie flat with less than 6 mm (0.25 inch)
curl, and should not contain air.

Condition: Envelopes should not be wrinkled, nicked, or otherwise damaged.

Temperature: Use envelopes that are compatible with the heat and pressure of the
printer. This printer's fusing temperature is 210° C (410° F).

Size: Use only envelopes that are within the following size ranges.
