- This is a common problem when printing envelopes in normal landscape mode.
- The cause of the problem is the end of the envelope vibrating after the
- toner is deposited. The only real solution is to print in reverse landscape
- mode, so that the return address is now at the leading edge of the envelope
- (the main address is in the middle of the envelope, so vibration is not a
- problem, there). Since the LBP printers don't use PCL, I can't tell you
- the escape sequence, but check the manual.
