Envelopes with Adhesive Strips or Flaps
Envelopes with a peel-off adhesive strip or with more than one flap
that folds over to seal must use adhesives compatible with the heat
and pressure in the printer. The extra flaps and strips might cause
wrinkling, creasing, or jams.
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 in (15 mm)
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, 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.
