Envelope guidelines

  • Set the paper size, type, texture, and weight in the Paper menu to match the envelopes loaded in the tray.

  • Print samples on the envelopes being considered for use before buying large quantities.

  • Use envelopes designed specifically for laser printers.

  • For best performance, use envelopes made from 90 g/m2 (24‑lb) paper or 25 percent cotton.

  • Use only new envelopes from undamaged packages.

  • Adjust the guides to fit the width of the envelopes.

  • Flex, fan, and align the sheets before loading.

Note: A combination of high humidity (over 60 percent) and high printing temperature may wrinkle or seal envelopes.
