BEFORE USING THE MACHINE►LOADING PAPER
Important points when using envelopes
• Do not print the rear surface (the side with adhesive) of the envelope. This may result in misfeeds or poor print quality.
• Restrictions apply to some types of envelopes. For more information, consult a qualified service technician.
• Some operating environments may cause creasing, smudging, misfeeds, poor toner fusing, or machine failure.
• Fold the flap of the envelope and make a sharp crease at the fold. A misfeed may occur if the flap is up.
• Do not use the following envelopes:
• When placing multiple envelopes, they may not be fed if the print surface not being flat, instead being fed on an
angle.
• Feeding of thick envelopes may not be possible.
• Feeding of envelopes with uneven surfaces may not be possible.
• Those with a metal piece, a plastic hook or a ribbon hook
• Those with a string for closing
• Those with a window
• Those with a lining
• Those with an uneven surface, finished with titling or emboss
• Lined envelopes and other items that use adhesives or other composites for sealing may have this substance melt
because of heat from the fusing unit.
• Hand-made envelopes
• Those containing air inside
• Those damaged with a crease, fold mark or tear
• Envelopes for which the surface has deteriorated or deformed due to prolonged storage or moisture absorption
otherwise cannot be used.
• Items that have 4 or more sheets in the envelope to be adhered cannot be fed.
• Envelopes with the corner gluing position on the back not aligned with the corner edge cannot be used as it may
cause creasing.
• Print quality is not guaranteed in the area 10 mm (13/32") around the edges of the envelope.
• Print quality is not guaranteed on parts of envelopes where there is a large step-like change of thickness, such as on
four-layer parts or parts less than three layers.
• Print quality is not guaranteed on envelopes having peel off flaps for sealing the envelopes.
• In the case of landscape envelopes, make sure that flaps are not in the range where the bypass feed roller moves on.
• Press envelopes to bleed air inside, and press creases on all 4 sides well before setting.
• In addition, when envelopes are warped or bent, straighten them using hard objects such as pencil or ruler before
setting.
• Align on a flat surface
• Some envelopes may not be usable due to the shape of the flap or the type of envelope.
• If multiple sheets of film are allowed to stack on the output tray, the sheets may stick together or become curled.
