Printer and Paper Storage Environment
Paper storage environmental conditions directly affect the feed 
operation.
Ideally, the printer and paper storage environment should be at 
or near room temperature, and not too dry or humid. Remember 
that paper is hygroscopic; it absorbs and loses moisture rapidly.
Heat works with humidity to damage paper. Heat causes the 
moisture in paper to evaporate, while cold causes it to condense 
on the sheets. Heating systems and air conditioners remove 
most of the humidity from a room. As paper is opened and used, 
it loses moisture, causing streaks and smudging. Humid 
weather or water coolers can cause the humidity to increase in 
a room. As paper is opened and used it absorbs any excess 
moisture, causing light print and dropouts. Also, as paper loses 
and gains moisture it can become distorted. This can cause 
paper jams.
Care should be taken not to purchase more paper than can be 
used in a short time (about 3 months). Paper stored for long 
periods may experience heat and moisture extremes, which can 
cause damage. Planning is important in preventing damage to 
large supplies of paper.
Unopened paper in sealed reams can remain stable for several 
months before use. Opened packages of paper have more 
potential for damage due to the environment, especially if they 
are not wrapped with a moisture-proof barrier.
The paper storage environment should be properly maintained 
to ensure optimum printer performance. The required condition 
is 20° to 24°C (68° to 75°F), with a relative humidity of 45% to 
55%. The following guidelines should be considered when 
evaluating the paper’s storage environment:
• Paper should be stored at or near room temperature.
• The air should not be too dry or too humid.
• The best way to store an opened ream of paper is to rewrap it 
tightly in its moisture-proof wrapping. If the printer 
environment is subject to extremes, unwrap only the amount 
of paper to be used during the day’s operation to prevent 
unwanted moisture changes.

Envelopes
Envelope construction is critical. Envelope fold lines can vary 
considerably, not only between manufacturers, but also within a 
box from the same manufacturer. Successful printing on 
envelopes depends upon the quality of the envelopes. When 
selecting envelopes, consider the following components:
• Weight: The weight of the envelope paper should not exceed 
90 g/m
2 (24lb) or jamming may occur.
• Construction: Prior to printing, envelopes should lie flat with 
less than 6 mm (0.25 in.) curl, and should not contain air.
• Condition: Envelopes should not be wrinkled, nicked, or 
otherwise damaged.
• Temperature: You should use envelopes that are compatible 
with the heat and pressure of the printer.
• Size: You should only use envelopes within the following size 
ranges.
NOTES:
• Use only the Multi-purpose Tray to print envelopes.
• You may experience some paper jams when using any media 
with a length less than 140 mm
(5.5 in.). This may be caused by 
paper that has been affected by environmental conditions. For 
optimum performance, make sure you are storing and handling 
the paper correctly. Please refer to “Printer and Paper Storage 
Environment” on page G.8.

							SPECIFICATIONSG.10
Envelopes with Double Side Seams
Double side-seams envelopes have vertical seams at both ends 
rather than diagonal seams. This style may be more likely to 
wrinkle. Be sure the seam extends all the way to the corner of 
the envelope as illustrated below.
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 even jams and may even 
damage the fuser.
Envelope Margins
The following gives typical address margins for a commercial 
#10 or DL envelope.
NOTES:
• For the best print quality, position margins no closer than 15mm 
(0.6in.) from the edges of the envelope.
• Avoid printing over the area where the envelope’s seams meet.

Envelope Storage
Proper storage of envelopes helps contribute to print quality. 
Envelopes should be stored flat. If air is trapped in an envelope, 
creating an air bubble, the envelope may wrinkle during 
printing. See “Printing on Envelopes” on page 3.14.
Labels
CAUTIONS: 
• To avoid damaging the printer, use only labels recommended for 
laser printers.
• To prevent serious jams, always use the Multi-purpose Tray to 
print labels and always use the rear output tray.
• Never print on the same sheet of labels more than once and 
never print on a partial sheet of labels.
When selecting labels, consider the quality of each component:
• Adhesives: The adhesive material should be stable at 180°C 
(356°F), the printer’s fusing temperature.
• Arrangement: Only use labels with no exposed backing 
between them. Labels can peel off sheets with spaces 
between the labels, causing serious jams.
• Curl: Prior to printing, labels must lie flat with no more than 
13 mm (5 in.) of curl in any direction.
• Condition: Do not use labels with wrinkles, bubbles, or other 
indications of separation.
See “Printing on Labels” on page 3.16.
Transparencies
Transparencies used in the printer must be able to withstand 
temperatures of 180°C (356°F), the printer’s fusing 
temperature.
CAUTION: To avoid damaging the printer, use only transparencies 
recommended for use in laser printers.
See “Printing on Transparencies” on page 3.17.
