When loading envelopes, use both the control panel and the printer driver to select "Envelope" for
the paper type and specify the thickness of the envelopes. For details, see page 166 "Printing on
Envelopes".
Recommended envelopes
For details about recommended envelopes, contact your local dealer.
The size of envelopes that you can load depends on the tray in which you load them. For details,
see page 106 "Paper Size Specifications".
• Load only one size and type of envelope at a time.
• The duplex function cannot be used with envelopes.
• Straighten any curls within 5 mm (0.2 inch) upward and 0 mm (0 inches) downward on the tray
before loading.
• To achieve better output quality, it is recommended that you set the right, left, top, and bottom print
margin to at least 15 mm (0.6 inches) each.
• The output quality on envelopes may be uneven if parts of an envelope have differing thicknesses.
Print one or two envelopes to check the print quality.
• When printing onto envelopes, the print speed is slower than usual.
• Flatten out prints if they are creased or curled.
• Check that the envelopes are not damp.
• High temperature and high humidity conditions can reduce print quality and cause envelopes to
become creased.
• Depending on the environment, printing on envelopes may wrinkle them even if they are the
recommended envelopes.
• Certain types of envelopes might be output creased, dirtied, or misprinted. If you are printing a
solid color on an envelope, lines may appear where the overlapped edges of the envelope make it
thicker.
