•Printing Custom Size on page 62
Printing Envelopes 
Envelopes can be printed from any tray. 
Guidelines
• Successful envelope printing is highly dependent on the quality and construction of the 
envelopes. Use envelopes made specifically for laser printers.
• It is recommended that you maintain constant temperatures and relative humidity.
• Store unused envelopes in their packaging to avoid the effects of moisture and dryness 
which can affect print quality and cause wrinkling. Excessive moisture can cause the 
envelopes to seal before or during printing.
• Avoid padded envelopes; purchase envelopes that lie flat on a surface.
• Remove air bubbles from the envelopes before loading by setting a heavy book on top 
of the envelopes.
• If wrinkling or embossing problems occur, use a different brand of envelopes made 
specifically for laser printers.
Caution: Never use envelopes with windows or metal clasps; they can damage the printer. 
Damage caused by using unsupported envelopes is not covered under the Xerox warranty, 
service agreement, or Total Satisfaction Guarantee. The Total Satisfaction Guarantee is 
available in the United States and Canada. Coverage may vary outside these areas, please 
contact your local representative for details.
Printing Envelopes from the Manual Feed Slot
1. Insert the envelopes with the side to be printed facedown.
2. Slide the paper guides to the size of the envelope.
3. If necessary, press the paper guides inward to fit the envelope.

Guidelines
• Do not use vinyl labels.
• Print only on one side of the sheet of labels.
• Do not use any sheet where labels are missing; it may damage the printer.
• Store unused labels flat in their original packaging. Leave the sheets of labels inside the 
original packaging until ready to use. Return any unused sheets of labels to the original 
packaging and reseal it.
• Do not store labels in extremely dry or humid conditions or extremely hot or cold 
conditions. Storing them in extreme conditions may cause print-quality problems or 
cause them to jam in the printer.
• Rotate stock frequently. Long periods of storage in extreme conditions can cause labels 
to curl and jam the printer.
