Envelope Feed
Available from Envelopes tab Menu bar
See also: Printer Envelope Settings
Select Envelope Feed from the Menu bar on the Envelope screen, then select Envelope Feed Methods.
On the pictured choices, an arrow pointing up refers to an envelope that enters through the front of the printer. An arrow pointing down refers to an envelope that enters through the top or rear of the printer.
- Select the picture that matches how you put envelopes into your printer. Laser users usually find a selection on the top row that works with their printer, while ink-jet users are most likely to find a selection on the bottom row that works with their printer.
- Leave your printer set set for letter size paper. Do not change the Windows printer options to indicate that you are going to print an envelope.
Some printers may need physical adjustments to correctly print an envelope. Such adjustments assist with handling the thickness of an envelope or help to prevent skewing. Making these physical adjustments will not interfere with Easy Mail Plus.
Troubleshooting
- If you change to a different printer, you may need to change the envelope feed method.
- Try a different feed method. Sometimes the paper path inside the printer results in a printing method that doesn't really match the way the envelope enters the printer. You might need to turn the envelope around or even turn it over.
- If all of the printing on the envelope is in the wrong place or facing the wrong direction, select Adjust from the Envelope Feed menu.
- If some of the printing on the envelope is in the correct place while other printing is not where you want it, you need to fine-tune the print locations. Select Move from the Envelopes Menu bar to easily drag-and-drop the print areas. Or select Configure, then Envelope Text Margins from the Envelopes Menu bar to enter measurements that precisely locate the print areas. Don't forget that most printers have unprintable areas near margins, so it may not be possible to print extremely close to some envelope edges.
- Some Printers will not let you feed envelopes as a sheet of paper. To accommodate these printers, see: Use Printer Envelope Settings.
