„

Use envelopes that weigh from 20 to 25 lb 
(75 to 95 g/m

).

„

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:

• If they 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.
