The GOLDEN RULE here is to test them BEFORE you ofer them as a product.
Run them FACE UP, specify the output tray and set it for plain 81-105GSM. We have had issues where depending on what Mill the envelopes are produced in as far as the creasing.
They are NOT officialy supported and it is up to the customer if they feel the extra work is worth the final product.
VERY VERY IMPORTANT is to purchase a fuser that will be used for envelopes ONLY. they will cause marks and lines in no time flat.
You will also need a Service tech to reduce the sensitivity of the double feed sensore from the large capacity trays.
run them from the bypass or LCT trays ONLY.
In a nutshell: Hit and miss, try it and see what you think. Being able to offer short run FULL COLOUR envelopes is a bonus to some shops, a burden to others. Price the final product accordingly, remember you are saving your customer money by not requiring a minimum quantity in the hundreds.
