When selecting envelopes,consider the following factors:- Weight: The weight of the envelope paper shouldnot exceed 90 g/m 2 or jamming may occur.- Construction: Prior to printing, envelopes shouldlie flat with less than 6 mm curl, and should notcontain air.- Condition: Envelopes should not be wrinkled,nicked, or otherwise damaged.- Temperature: You should use envelopes that arecompatible with the heat and pressure of themachine during operation.• Use only well-constructed envelopes with sharp andwell creased folds.• Do not use stamped envelopes.• Do not use envelopes with clasps, snaps, windows,coated lining, self-adhesive seals, or other syntheticmaterials.• Do not use damaged or poorly made envelopes.• Be sure the seam at both ends of the envelopeextends all the way to the corner of the envelope.1 Acceptable2 Unacceptable• Envelopes with a peel-off adhesive strip or withmore than one flap that folds over to seal must useadhesives compatible with the machine’s fusingtemperature for 0.1 second. Check your machine’sspecification to view the fusing temperature, seepage 83. The extra flaps and strips might causewrinkling, creasing, or jams, and may even damagethe fuser.• For the best print quality, position margins no closerthan 15 mm from the edges of the envelope.• Avoid printing over the area where the envelope’sseams meet.Labels • To avoid damaging the machine, use only labelsdesigned for use in laser machines.- When selecting labels, consider the followingfactors:- Adhesives: The adhesive material should bestable at your machine’s fusing temperature.Check your machine’s specification to view thefusing temperature, see page 83.- Arrangement: Only use labels with no exposedbacking between them. Labels can peel off sheetsthat have spaces between the labels, causingserious jams.- Curl: Prior to printing, labels must lie flat with nomore than 13 mm of curl in any direction.- Condition: Do not use labels with wrinkles,bubbles, or other indications of separation.• Make sure that there is no exposed adhesivematerial between labels. Exposed areas can causelabels to peel off during printing, which can causepaper jams. Exposed adhesive can also causedamage to machine components.• Do not run a sheet of labels through the machinemore than once. The adhesive backing is designedfor only a single pass through the machine.• Do not use labels that are separating from thebacking sheet or are wrinkled, bubbled, or otherwisedamaged.Card stock orcustom-sizedmaterials• Do not print on media smaller than 76 mm wide or356 mm long.• In the software application, set margins at least6.4 mm away from the edges of the material.Preprintedpaper• Letterhead must be printed with heat-resistant inkthat will not melt, vaporize, or release hazardousemissions when subjected to the printer’s fusingtemperature for 0.1 second. Check your machine’sspecification to view the fusing temperature, seepage 83.• Letterhead ink must be non-flammable and shouldnot adversely affect printer rollers.• Forms and letterhead should be sealed in amoisture-proof wrapping to prevent changes duringstorage.• Before you load preprinted paper, such as formsand letterhead, verify that the ink on the paper isdry. During the fusing process, wet ink can come offpreprinted paper, reducing print quality.MEDIA TYPE GUIDELINES
