Most envelopes will perform acceptably on your printer. However, some
envelopes will have feeding and print quality problems because of their
construction. A suitable envelope should have edges with straight, well
creased folds and should not have more than two thickness of paper along
the leading edge. The envelope should lie flat and not be of baggy or flimsy
construction. Purchase quality envelopes from a supplier who understands
that the envelopes will be used in a laser printer. All envelopes should be
tested prior to use to ensure desirable print results.
Envelope Types to Avoid
1.
Envelopes constructed with paper that exceeds the paper weight
specifications for the printer
2.
Poorly manufactured envelopes with edges that are not straight or
consistently square

creased
4.
Envelopes with transparent windows, holes, cutouts or perforations
5.
Envelopes with clasps, snaps or tie strings

Envelopes made with smooth or shiny paper
7.
Envelopes that are rough, highly textured, or deeply embossed
8.
Envelopes that do not lie flat or that are curled, wrinkled, or irregularly
shaped

Envelopes having an open flap with an adhesive that seals the
envelope
