Printing on Envelopes
Envelopes can be printed from Tray 1 (MPT) only.
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 on Labels
Labels can be printed from Tray 1 (MPT) only. 
To order paper, transparencies, or other specialty media, contact your local reseller or go to the Xerox 
Supplies website at www.xerox.com/office/7500supplies.
Guidelines
• Do not use vinyl labels.
• Print only on one side of the sheet of labels. Use full sheet labels only.
• 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 in the printer.
• In the printer driver, select either Labels as the paper type or Tray 1 (MPT) as the paper source.
