Envelopes
Adhere to the following guidelines to help ensure proper printing on envelopes and to help prevent printer jams:
| ● | In either the software program or the printer driver, select Envelope as the media type, or configure tray 1 for envelopes. See Configuring trays. |
| ● | The weight rating of envelopes should not exceed 90 g/m2 (24 lb bond). |
| ● | Envelopes should be flat. |
| ● | Do not use envelopes with windows or clasps. |
| ● | Envelopes must not be wrinkled, nicked, or otherwise damaged. |
| ● | Envelopes with peel-off adhesive strips must use adhesives that can withstand the heat and pressures of the printer’s fusing process. |
If your software does not automatically format an envelope, specify Landscape for page orientation in the software program. Use the guidelines in the table that follows to set margins for return and destination addresses on Commercial #10 or DL envelopes.
| Address type | Left margin | Top margin |
|---|---|---|
| Return | 15 mm (0.6 inch) | 15 mm (0.6 inch) |
| Destination | 102 mm (4.0 inch) | 51 mm (2.0 inch) |
