Guidelines
• Successful envelope printing is highly dependent on the quality and construction of the envelopes.
Use only paper envelopes specified in the Recommended Media List at www.xerox.com/paper
(United States) or www.xerox.com/europaper (Europe).
• Maintain constant temperature and relative humidity.
• Store unused envelopes in their packaging to avoid the effects of moisture and dryness which can
affect print quality and cause wrinkling. Excessive moisture can cause the envelopes to seal before
or during printing.
• Avoid padded envelopes; purchase envelopes that lie flat on a surface.
• Avoid envelopes with heat activated glue.
• Avoid envelopes with press and seal flaps.
• Remove air bubbles from the envelopes before loading them into the tray by setting a heavy book
on top of them.
• In the printer driver, choose either the Envelope size as the paper type or choose the appropriate
tray as the paper source.
Caution: Never use envelopes with windows or metal clasps; they can damage the printer. Damage
caused by using unsupported envelopes is not covered under the Xerox warranty, service
agreement, or Total Satisfaction Guarantee. The Total Satisfaction Guarantee is available in the
United States and Canada. Coverage may vary outside these areas, please contact your local
representative for details.

Guidelines
• Do not use vinyl labels.
• Do not feed a sheet of labels through the printer more than once.
• Print only on one side of the sheet of labels. Use full sheet labels only.
• Do not use any sheet where labels are missing; it may damage the printer.
• Store unused labels flat in their original packaging. Leave the sheets of labels inside the original
packaging until ready to use. Return any unused sheets of labels to the original packaging and
reseal it.
• Do not store labels in extremely dry or humid conditions or extremely hot or cold conditions.
Storing them in extreme conditions may cause print quality problems or cause them to jam in
the printer.
• Rotate stock frequently. Long periods of storage in extreme conditions can cause labels to curl and
jam in the printer.
• In the printer driver, choose either Labels as the paper type or choose the appropriate tray as the
paper source.
