*1 Misfeeds might also occur when using envelopes (1) and (2) depending on the length and shape of the flaps.

For details about the types of envelope supported, consult your sales representative.
Before loading envelopes, press down on them to release excess air and flatten out their edges. Make sure that any curled envelopes are fully flattened before you load them.
Humidity levels of over 50% can cause envelopes to come out creased or misprinted.
Certain types of envelope might come out creased, dirtied, or misprinted. If the print image contains areas of solid black, lines might appear where the envelopes overlapped.
When printing on envelopes thicker than 127g/m² (34 lb. Bond), do not use Adjust Curl: Strong or Adjust Curl: Strong for Adjust Paper Curl of Adjustment Settings for Operators.
Keep envelopes stored in sealed plastic bags and remove only the quantity needed. Do not add envelopes during printing, as this might cause misfeeds.
