Printing on Envelopes

Loading envelopes
Printing on envelopes

When printing on envelopes, please note the following:

You can load up to 10 envelopes at a time in the sheet feeder.

Note:

The folding quality and thickness of envelopes varies widely. If the total thickness of the stack of envelopes exceeds 10 mm, press each envelope in the stack flat before loading. If print quality declines when a stack of envelopes is loaded, load one envelope at a time.

Do not use envelopes that are curled or folded.

Flatten the envelope flaps before loading.

Avoid using envelopes that are too thin as they may curl during printing.

EPSON recommends the use of black ink when printing on envelopes. Should you decide to use another color of ink, set a wider margin in order to prevent ink from smearing across the bottom portion of the envelope.

The printable area specified below is recommended when printing in black ink.

A:	The minimum top margin is 3.0 mm (0.12").
B-L:	The minimum left margin is 3.0 mm (0.12").
B-R:	The minimum right margin is 3.0 mm (0.12").
C:	The minimum bottom margin is 14.0 mm (0.55").
:	You can extend the minimum bottom margin to 3 mm by selecting the Minimize Margins check box under More Options on the printer driver's Page Layout menu (Windows) or the Maximum option for Printable Area in the Page Setup dialog box (Macintosh). However, print quality may decline in the expanded area. Before printing large jobs using this setting, print a single sheet to confirm printout quality.
