envelopes with the flap side up with the return address posi-
tioned to enter the printer last. Do not load stamped envelopes.
Refer to the Setup Guide for additional loading instructions.
To ensure the best print quality, set Paper Type to Envelope and
select the correct envelope size before sending the job to print.
When printing on envelopes:
• Try a sample of any envelopes you are considering using
with the printer before buying large quantities.
• Use envelopes made from 90 to 105 g/m

bond paper. For best performance and fewer paper jams,
do not use envelopes that:
– Have excessive curl
– Are stuck together
– Are damaged in any way
– Contain windows, holes, perforations, cutouts, or
embossing
– Use metal clasps or string ties
– Have postage stamps attached
– Have any exposed adhesive when the flap is in the

(383°F) without sealing, excessive curling, wrinkling, or
releasing hazardous emissions.
• Adjust the left paper guide to fit the envelope width.
