Print on Envelopes

Guidelines for Printing Envelopes

Print quality depends on the quality and construction of the envelopes. Try another envelope brand if you do not get expected results.
Maintain constant temperatures and relative humidity.
Store unused envelopes in their packaging to avoid excess moisture and dryness which can affect print quality and cause wrinkling. Excessive moisture can cause the envelopes to seal before or during printing.
Remove air bubbles from the envelopes before loading them into the tray by setting a heavy book on top of them.
In the print driver software, select Envelope as the paper type.
Do not use padded envelopes. Use envelopes that lie flat on a surface.
Do not use envelopes with heat activated glue.
Do not use envelopes with press and seal flaps.
Use only paper envelopes.
Do not use envelopes with windows or metal clasps.

Loading Envelopes

You can load up to five envelopes at a time in the main tray.

To load envelopes:

Slide open the width guides.
Place envelopes in the main tray using one of the following methods:
- Insert No. 10, DL, or Monarch envelopes with the print side up, flaps closed and facing down, and the flap side to the right.
- Insert C5 envelopes with the print side up, flaps open and facing away from the printer.
Adjust the paper guides so they rest lightly against the edges of the envelopes.
