Envelope Feeder

Envelope feeders handle the unique challenges of envelope printing: varying thicknesses, flap orientations, and adhesive strips. Standard paper trays can print envelopes, but dedicated envelope feeders offer: better reliability (fewer jams), higher capacity (50-100 envelopes vs 10-20 in bypass tray), automatic envelope detection and adjustment, support for multiple envelope sizes (#10, A2, A7, DL, C5), and consistent print quality. Envelope feeders position envelopes correctly for address printing, accounting for flap orientation and return address placement. They're essential for businesses doing regular direct mail campaigns or customer correspondence. Features to look for: adjustable guides for different sizes, capacity (50+ envelope minimum for efficiency), jam-resistant design, support for windowed envelopes, thickness range (up to 24 lb envelope stock). When printing envelopes, use envelope-specific settings in your print driver: envelope mode, reduced fuser temperature (prevents adhesive melting), and slower print speed for reliability.
