Successful envelope printing is highly dependent on the quality and construction of the envelopes.
Use envelopes made specifically for laser printers, in the supported sizes. For a listing of supported
envelope sizes for Tray 1 and the manual feed slot, see

Usable Paper

on page 52.

•

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. For best results, maintain constant temperatures and relative humidity.

•

Do not use padded envelopes; purchase envelopes that lie flat.

•

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 envelope made specifically for
laser printers.

Caution:

Never use envelopes with windows or metal clasps because they can damage the printer.

Damage caused by using unsupported 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.
