Envelope
Successful printing on envelopes depends upon the quality of the 
envelopes. 
To print an envelope, the stamp area is on the left side and the end of the 
en

velope with the stamp area enters the printer first and center of the 
manual tray.
If envelopes are printed out with wrinkles, crease or black bold lines, open 
the rear cover and pull down the pressure lever and try printing again. Keep 
the rear cover opened during printing. 
• When selecting envelopes, consider the following factors:
- Wei
ght  :  The weight of the envelope paper should not exceed 
90  g/m2 otherwise, jam may occur.
- Constru
 ction :  Prior to printing, envelopes should lie flat with less 
tha
n 6  mm curl, and should not contain air.
- Condit
ion  :  Envelopes should not be wrinkled, nicked, nor 
dam
aged.
- Tem
perature  :  Use envelopes that are compatible with the heat and 
pres
sure of the machine during operation.
• U
se only well-constructed envelopes with sharp-and well-creased folds.
•D
o not use stamped envelopes.
•D
o not use envelopes with clasps, snaps, windows, coated lining, 
self-adhesive seals, or other synthetic materials.
• D
o not use damaged or poorly made envelopes.
•Be s
ure the seam at both ends of the envelope extends all the way to 
the corner of the envelope.
1 Acceptable
2 Unacceptable
• Env
elopes with a peel-off adhesive strip or with more than one flap that 
folds over to seal must use adhesives compatible with the machine’s 
fusing temperature (about 170°C(338 °F) for 0.1 second. The extra flaps  and strips might cause wrinkling, creasing, or jams, and may even 
damage the fuser.
• F
or the best print quality, position margins no closer than 15  mm (0.59 
i
nches) from the edges of the envelope.
• Av
oid printing over the area where the envelope’s seams meet.
Transparency
To avoid damaging the machine, use only transparencies designed for use 
in laser printers.
•Transparencies used in the machine must be able to withstand 
machine’s fusing temperature.
• Pl

Labels
To avoid damaging the machine, use only labels designed for use in laser 
machines.
•When selecting labels, consider the following factors:
- A
dhesives  :  The adhesive material should be stable at your 
m
achine’s fusing temperature about 170°C(338 °F).
- A
rrangement  :  Only use labels with no exposed backing between 
th
em. Labels can peel off sheets that have spaces between the 
labels, causing serious jams.
- Curl  :  Prior to printing, labels must lie flat with no more than 13  mm 
of

 curl in any direction.
- Con
dition  :  Do not use labels with wrinkles, bubbles, or other 
i
ndications of separation.
• M
ake sure that there is no exposed adhesive material between labels. 
Exposed areas can cause labels to peel off during printing, which can 
cause paper jams. Exposed adhesive can also cause damage to 
machine components.

wrinkled, bubbled, or otherwise damaged.
Card stock/Custom-sized paper
Postcards, cards and other custom-sized materials can be printed with this 
machine.
•Do not print on media smaller than 76 mm (3.00 inches) wide or 127 mm 
(5.00 inches) long.
• In 
the software application, set margins at least 6.4  mm (0.25 inches) 
aw
ay from the edges of the material.
• If m
edia weight is over 160 g/m2 (43 lb), try printing in the rear cover 
(face up).
Letterhead/ Preprinted paper
• Letterhead/ Preprinted paper must be printed with heat-resistant ink that 
will not melt, vaporize, or release hazardous emissions when subjected 
to the machine’s fusing temperature for 0.1 second. Check your 
machine’s specification to view the fusing temperature about 170°C(338 
°F).
• Le
tterhead/ Preprinted paper ink must be non-flammable and should not 
adversely affect machine rollers.
• Form
s and letterhead should be sealed in a moisture-proof wrapping to 
prevent changes during storage.
• Befo
re you load letterhead/preprinted paper, verify that the ink on the 
paper is dry. During the fusing process, wet ink can come off preprinted 
paper, reducing print quality.
