In article <12123@nswitgould.OZ> gregw@nswitgould.OZ (Greg Webb) writes: [ description of paper-jam problems trying to feed envelopes through a laserwriter.] I have a pair of LWIINTs that both jam frequently when I feed envelopes through. The solution I have found that, for me, is 100% reliable is this: Take the envelope, lay it flat on the desk face up, and then use the side of a smooth-barrelled pen to flatten the front edge and adjacent corners that will be fed into the feeder. The picture below shows the area I flatten in heavier "ink". -----------------=====+ # # -----> direction of feed # # -----------------=====+ I have never had an accordion envelope after having done this; otherwise my success rate is about 10%. For doing large number of envelopes this is not a problem for me, since I can flatten and feed faster than the LW can print.
