Envelopes
You can load up to 10 envelopes in the multipurpose feeder.
• Use envelopes made from 75–105 g/m
2
(20–28 lb) bond paper.
• Do not use envelopes that:
– Have excessive curl
– Are stuck together
– Are damaged in any way
– Contain windows, holes, perforations, cutouts, or embossing
– Use metal clasps, string ties, or metal folding bars
– Have postage stamps attached
– Have any exposed adhesive when the flap is in the sealed position
• Use envelopes that can withstand temperatures of 205°C (401°F) without sealing, excessive
curling, wrinkling, or releasing hazardous emissions. If you have any doubts about the
envelopes you are considering using, check with the envelope supplier.
• A combination of high humidity (over 60%) and the high printing temperatures may seal the
envelopes.
• Set the Paper Source to MP Feeder or Manual Env, set the paper type to Envelope, and
select the correct envelope size from the printer driver or from MarkVision.
• Load envelopes with the flap side down, and position the short edge nearest the return
address to enter the printer first.
• Adjust the right paper guide to fit the width of the envelopes.
• If you are feeding self-sealing envelopes, open the rear output bin door so envelopes feed
straight out the back of the printer. The rear output bin holds about 10 envelopes.
• Envelopes may curl less if they exit to the rear output bin.
