Envelope Feeder for Dell 5210N wrinkles envelopes

Sounds like it needs to be set in your software program. For example, in Word, Tools> Envelopes and labels> Envelopes> Options> Feed From: (and select the envelope feeder in there). Sounds like its set for manual select or Default.

Use a damp lint free cloth and clean the feeder rollers.
Print out a configuration page to make sure that the printer recognizes that the feeder is installed.
Usually the envelope feeder problems stem from age and/or dirty rollers.
Make sure that your software app sees that the feeder is attached.

1. Do the following
   
   Open the paper support and extend the paper support extension.Open the paper output tray. Set the paper thickness lever to the right side for envelopes.Load envelopes in the auto sheet feeder with the print side facing up. Check the printing direction.Set the envelope in the direction of the arrow.Set the envelopes to the right side of the auto sheet feeder.Pinch and slide the paper guide to the envelope's left side .
   

This should be in your manual complete with pictures.

You can print a single envelope using the photo/envelope feeder. Insert the envelope into the photo/envelope feeder with the side to be printed facing down and the flap to the left.

You can print multiple envelopes (max 20) from the bottom tray. Temporarily remove the top (output) tray. Slide the paper guide in the bottom tray to the left. Load your envelopes to the far right with the side to be printed down, flaps to the left (I like to tuck the flaps into each envelope so they are less easily jammed, but this is optional). Slide the paper guide to the right snugly against the envelopes. Replace the output tray. Start printing.

In the paper-handling menu set the envelope feeder size to the size of your envelope and the envelope feeder type to *any type.

Then ensure you are printing envelopes from your application.

Follow these steps to use the photo/envelope feeder for single envelopes:
1. Insert the envelope into the photo/envelope feeder with the side to be printed on

facing down and the flap to the left.
Push the envelope into the printer as far as it will go without bending.
3. Slide the photo/envelope feeder forward as far as it will go.


Thank you for using Fixya

I got to HP tech support, and they tell me that the envelope feeder is intended only for a few standard envelope sizes. If we're trying to use a different sized envelope, as in this case, it must be fed manually, and the feeder bin will not work. So that answers that. Thanks for the help, though.

If you look closely at the very front of the paper tray, just to the left of the sliding thing that keeps the paper from drifting out of the front, you will see a couple of illustrations showing how to position envelopes in the paper feeder. For regular letter-sized envelopes, or even greeting card envelopes, place them face down with the top of the envelope pointing to the left as you are facing the printer. The return address area should be away from you. Position the envelope all the way to the right side of the paper feeder, then gently slide the envelope all the way back until it is stops so that it is accessible by the paper feeder. Bear in mind that it will be flipped over when it comes out. To avoid wasting an envelope, do a trial print on a piece of paper to make sure you understand the positioning correctly. Good luck!

Solution --> Phaser 4400 Printer: Printing envelopes

Printing EnvelopesEnvelopes can be printed from the optional envelope feeder, the Multi-Purpose Tray, or Tray 1, 2, or 3.
Guidelines for envelope printing

• Use only paper envelopes.
  
• Do not print on the back of the envelope.
  
• Never use envelopes with windows, metal clasps, or exposed gummed surfaces.
  
• Keep unused envelopes in their packaging to avoid the effects of moisture and dryness, which can affect print quality and cause wrinkling.
  
• Envelopes may wrinkle depending on weight and stiffness of the envelope.

Many applications include a tool for creating an envelope document. For example, Microsoft Word includes an Envelopes and Labels feature in the Tools menu. Be sure to:

• Select faceup.
  
• Clear Clockwise Rotation.
  
• Select the feed method with the image centered and the stamp on the envelope to the upper left.

Never use envelopes with windows, metal clasps, or exposed gummed surfaces; they can damage the printer. Damage caused by using unsupported envelopes might not be covered by your printer's warranty.
Note: The heat from the printing process can melt certain types of envelope glue. If the envelope flap sticks shut after printing the test print, tuck the flaps inside the envelopes when printing the remaining envelopes. Printing envelopes from the envelope feeder

1. Insert the envelopes into the envelope feeder. For more information, refer to the Trays section of the Trays and Paper Guide on the Interactive Documentation CD-ROM.
   
   • Place the side to be printed faceup.
     
   • The top of the envelopes should be toward the left of the printer.

Envelopes Follow the steps below to load envelopes into this product. Lower the output tray and slide out the extension. Move the feeder guard towards you. While holding down its locking tab, slide the left edge guide so that the distance between the two edge guides is slightly wider than the width of your envelopes. Load envelopes short edge first with the flap side down, as shown in the illustration. Use the line on the feeder guard as the indicator when loading envelope. The right edge of envelope is aligned with the line on the feeder guard. Set the feeder guard back. Note: * The folding quality and thickness of envelopes vary widely. If the total thickness of the stack of envelopes exceeds 10 mm, press each envelope in the stack flat before loading. If print quality declines when a stack of envelopes is loaded, load one envelope at a time. * Do not use envelopes that are curled or folded. * Flatten the envelope flaps before loading. * Avoid using envelopes that are too thin as they may curl during printing.
