Tips on using envelopesPrint samples on the envelopes being considered for use before buying large quantities.When printing on envelopes:• Use envelopes designed specifically for laser printers. Check with the manufacturer or vendor to ensure theenvelopes can withstand temperatures up to 210°C (410°F) without sealing, wrinkling, curling excessively, orreleasing hazardous emissions.Note: Envelopes can be printed at a temperature up to 220°C (428°F) if Envelope Weight is set to Heavy andEnvelope Texture is set to Rough. Select these settings using the Embedded Web Server, or from the printercontrol panel Paper menu.• For the best performance, use envelopes made from 90 g/m2 (24 lb bond) paper. Use up to 105 g/m 2 (28 lb bond)weight for envelopes as long as the cotton content is 25% or less. All-cotton envelopes must not exceed90 g/m 2 (24 lb bond) weight.• Use only new envelopes.• To optimize performance and minimize jams, do not use envelopes that:– Have excessive curl or twist– Are stuck together or damaged in any way– Have windows, holes, perforations, cutouts, or embossing– Have metal clasps, string ties, or folding bars– Have an interlocking design– Have postage stamps attached– Have any exposed adhesive when the flap is in the sealed or closed position– Have bent corners– Have rough, cockle, or laid finishes• Adjust the width guides to fit the width of the envelopes.Note: A combination of high humidity (over 60%) and the high printing temperature may wrinkle or seal envelopes.Tips on using labelsPrint samples on the labels being considered for use before buying large quantities.Note: Single-sided paper labels designed for laser printers are supported for occasional use. It is recommended toprint 20 or fewer pages of paper labels a month. Vinyl, pharmacy, and dual-sided labels are not supported.When printing on labels:• Use labels designed specifically for laser printers. Check with the manufacturer or vendor to verify that:– The labels can withstand temperatures up to 210°C (410°F) without sealing, excessive curling, wrinkling, orreleasing hazardous emissions.Note: Labels can be printed at a higher fusing temperature up to 220°C (428°F) if Label Weight is set toHeavy. Select this setting using the Embedded Web Server, or from the printer control panel Paper menu.– Label adhesives, face sheet (printable stock), and topcoats can withstand up to 25 psi (172 kPa) pressurewithout delaminating, oozing around the edges, or releasing hazardous fumes.• Do not use labels with slick backing material.• Use full label sheets. Partial sheets may cause labels to peel off during printing, resulting in a jam. Partial sheetsalso contaminate the printer and the cartridge with adhesive, and could void the printer and cartridge warranties.Printing57
