Some envelopes need margin settings to 
be set in the application. Make sure you 
do a test print first.

CAUTION

DO NOT use any of the following types of 
envelopes, as they will cause paper feed 
problems:

• That are of a baggy construction.
• That are embossed (have raised writing 

on them).

• That have clasps or staples.
• That are pre-printed on the inside.

Occasionally you may experience paper feed 
problems caused by the thickness, size and 
flap shape of the envelopes you are using.
