Recommended envelopes
For information about recommended envelopes, contact your local dealer.
For details about the sizes of envelopes you can load, see p.135 "Recommended Paper Sizes and

• Load only one size and type of envelope at a time.
•
To get better output quality, it is recommended that you set the right, left, top, and bottom print
margin, to at least 10 mm (0.4 inches) each.
• Output quality on envelopes may be uneven if parts of an envelope have differing thicknesses. Print
one or two envelopes to check print quality.
• Flatten out prints if they are creased or curled.
• Check the envelopes are not damp.
• High temperature and high humidity conditions can reduce print quality and cause envelopes to
become creased.
