Loading envelopes and

About envelopes2

Use envelopes that weigh from 20 to 25 lb 
(80 to 95 g/m
2).
 Some envelopes need margin settings to 
be set in the application. Make sure you 
do a test print first before printing many 
envelopes.
IMPORTANT
DO NOT use any of the following types of 
envelopes, as they will cause paper feed 
problems:
• That are of a baggy construction.
• That have windows.
• That are embossed (have raised  writing on them).
• That have clasps or staples.
• That are pre-printed on the inside.
Occasionally you may experience paper 
feed problems caused by the thickness, 
size and flap shape of the envelopes you 
are using.
 
Loading envelopes and postcards2
aBefore loading, press the corners and 
sides of envelopes or postcards to make 
them as flat as possible.
IMPORTANT
If envelopes or postcards are “double-
feeding,” put one envelope or postcard in 
the paper tray at a time.
