Guidelines
Buying and Storing Envelopes
■Use only paper envelopes specified in the Supported Papers table. Successful envelope
printing is highly dependent on the quality and construction of the envelopes. Use
envelopes made specifically for laser printers.
■It is recommended that you maintain constant temperatures and relative humidity.
■Store unused envelopes in their packaging to avoid the effects of moisture and dryness
which can affect print quality and cause wrinkling. Excessive moisture can cause the
envelopes to seal before or during printing.
■Avoid padded envelopes; purchase envelopes that lie flat on a surface.
■Remove air “bubbles” from the envelopes before loading by setting a heavy book on top of
the envelopes.
■If wrinkling or embossing problems occur, use a different brand of envelopes made
specifically for laser printers.
■For more information, go to Reference/Printing/Supported Papers on the User
Documentation CD-ROM.
Preparing to Print
Follow these guidelines to prevent wrinkling problems:
■Load envelopes faceup with the envelope flap to the left as you view the tray from the
front.
■Print only on the front of the envelope.
■Load a maximum of 10 envelopes in Tray 1 and 75 envelopes in Trays 2-4 at any time.
Caution
Never use envelopes with windows or metal clasps; they can damage the printer. Damage
caused by using non-Xerox envelopes is not covered under the Xerox warranty, service
agreement, or Total Satisfaction Guarantee. The Total Satisfaction Guarantee is available
in the United States and Canada. Coverage may vary outside these areas, please contact
your local representative for details.
