Guidelines for printing on letterhead or preprinted forms
●
Do not use letterhead paper that is printed with low-temperature inks, such as those used in
some types of thermography.
●
Do not use raised or embossed letterhead.
●
The printer uses heat and pressure to fuse toner to the paper. Make sure that any colored paper
or preprinted forms use inks that are compatible with this fusing temperature (200°C or 392°F
for 0.1 second).
Printing on envelopes
You can print envelopes from tray 1. Tray 1 holds up to 10 envelopes and supports standard or
custom sizes.
For printing on any size of envelope, make sure to set the margins in your program at least 15.0 mm
(0.6 in) from the edge of the envelope.
To minimize curl and wrinkling, always print envelopes to the rear output bin.
The printer might print at a slower speed when printing envelopes. In addition, printing performance
depends on the construction of the envelope. Always test a few sample envelopes before purchasing
a large quantity. For envelope specifications, see
Paper specifications.
WARNING! Never use envelopes that contain coated linings, exposed self-stick adhesives,
or other synthetic materials. These items can emit noxious fumes.
CAUTION Envelopes that have clasps, snaps, windows, coated linings, exposed self-stick
adhesives, or other synthetic materials can severely damage the printer. To avoid jams and
possible printer damage, never try to print on both sides of an envelope. Before you load
envelopes, make sure that they are flat and not damaged or stuck together. Do not use
envelopes that contain pressure-sensitive adhesive.
