The simplest method of addressing envelopes is to use a word processing application such as Microsoft Word.
If you do not have Word then I would recommend downloading and installing a copy of Kingsoft Office Suite Free 2012 which is compatible with the latest versions of Microsoft Office documents and is free for home users.
Once the application is installed, open Kingsoft Writer 2012 (which is very similar to Microsoft Word).
Click on File then on Page Setup and select the Paper page tab where you can then choose the Paper size to use for your envelopes.
In the Paper size drop down selection listing, choose an envelope size such as C6 Env.
If you are unsure which option to choose, then simply measure the size of the envelopes you are wanting to print on and set the Width and Height values (in centimetres) to match that size.
Next switch back to the Margins page and select the Orientation that you want to use for your envelopes, i.e. Landscape or Portrait.
On this same page you can also increase the Margins to position your address text more centrally on the envelope.
Click on OK to exit Page Setup.
Type your address on the main Kingsoft Writer page and you are ready to print the envelope on your printer.
Kingsoft Writer can also use Mail Merge to write a series of addresses on a stack of envelopes if you need to write a number of addresses.
Simply create a list of your addresses in the Kingsoft Spreadsheets application, putting each 'address field' in a separate 'box' in the new spreadsheet so that you have a column each of 'Names', 'Address line 1', Address line 2, Town, County, Post code etc.
Then in Writer, click on Tools, Mail Merge toolbar, then in the toolbar, click on the left icon to Select Data Source and select your addresses spreadsheet document.
Next, click on the icon for Insert Merge Field and select all the address fields to insert into your new Envelope document.
Finally, adjust the layout of the fields by moving fields on to new lines as needed. You can also change the font and character size of the new address fields to make the text larger or bolder etc.
Last of all, click on the icon for View Merged Data which will show you what your addresses will look like when printed on the envelopes - you can step through the list of addresses using the controls in the toolbar.

No, you can print on any envelope size. As far as addresses are concerned, you need to setup a template for the envelope size in your program. What program do you have for this function, do you have Microsoft Word or come other word processor like that?

use the hp software ..and use the envelopes templates in the setup of the page ..or ...just open Microsoft office word ..and select the mailings and in the left side will be the envelopes template ..(office 2007)

When you go into the print properties in Word, you can specify the paper size that will be used in the bypass tray. Depending on which driver you are using, the settings will be a little different, but there should be an option to select the input tray -- Bypass Tray -- and paper size.

As for the orientation, Word will show you a recommendation for how to place the envelope, but this recommendation isn't always right. It's a good idea to run a test envelope through and see which way the addresses print. (The envelopes should always be face down.)

Printing envelopes is tricky. In the MFC-240C, you have to place them face down (with the flap side facing up), and it's best to load one at a time because sometimes the printer has problems pulling it when there is a stack of envelopes in the paper tray.

Make sure the fences are snug against the envelope when you load it. If you get a lot of jamming when trying to feed envelopes, you may have to run it with the flap open -- sometimes the closed flap sticks up just a bit and gets caught as the envelope is fed through the machine.

To orient the addresses correctly on the envelope, you'll need to use the correct settings, depending on which program you're printing from. In Microsoft Word 2003, for example, there is an Envelopes and Labels option under the Tools menu (click on the Letters and Mailing submenu) that you can use to enter the addresses and make sure they line up.

Hi,
Try printing address on envelope with MS Word as it has the facility under Tools/Envelopess where it will store the 'from address'

Both addresses are fully ajustable ie. left or right, up or down - no doubt there are other programmes for your purpose.

Thanks
I usually print the 'from' address in the top left hand corner on the
DL sized envelopes

I'm printing wedding invitation envelopes (or A6) and had to set both my C4480 and psc1315 to a regular size 8.5x11 letter size but changed my margins to reflect the smaller size for my envelope with the left side of the screen being the more narrow margin. After adjusting the top margin accordingly, I fed the envelopes, flap side down and straight into the printer and voila...envelope addresses are printed. Good luck. Blu

Switch the pink cartridge with the black one.
