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. Can be used Cannot be used • 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 13/32" (10 mm) 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. Cautions when placing envelopes • Removing curling • Ensure these are flat, containing no air • Ensure the four folded edges are pressed flat (for items with flaps, three edges) • Align on a flat surface • Some envelopes may not be usable due to the shape of the flap or the type of envelope. 1-98
