General guidelines for Printing Envelopes

Envelopes can be printed only from tray 5 (bypass tray) or tray 1 (envelope tray).

    Print quality depends on the quality and construction of the envelopes. Try another envelope brand
    if you do not get desired results.
    Maintain constant temperatures and relative humidity.
    Store unused envelopes in their packaging to avoid the excess moisture and dryness which can affect print quality and cause wrinkling. Excessive moisture can cause the envelopes to seal before or during printing.
    Do not use padded envelopes. Use envelopes that lie flat on a surface.
    Do not use envelopes with heat activated glue.
    Do not use envelopes with press and seal flaps.
    Remove air bubbles from the envelopes before loading them into the tray by setting a heavy book on top of them.

In the print driver software, select Envelope as the paper type.
