Envelopes 2
Most envelopes will be suitable for your
machine. However, some envelopes may
have feed and print-quality problems
because of the way they have been made. A
suitable envelope should have edges with
straight, well-creased folds and the leading
edge should not be thicker than two sheets of
paper. The envelope should lie flat and not be
of baggy or flimsy construction. You should
buy quality envelopes from a supplier who
understands that you will be using the
envelopes in a laser machine.
Envelopes can be fed from manual feed slot
one at a time. We recommend that you print
a test envelope to make sure the print results
are what you want before you print or
purchase a large quantity of envelopes.
Check the following:
Envelopes should have a lengthwise
sealing flap.
The sealing flaps should be folded crisply
and correctly (irregularly cut or folded
envelopes may cause paper jams).
Envelopes should consist of two layers of
paper in the area circled in figure below.
1 Feeding direction
Envelope joints that are sealed by the
manufacturer should be secure.
We recommend that you do not print
within 0.6 in. (15 mm) of the edges of
envelopes.
