Envelope feeder won't print envelopes automatically...keeps prompting me to add envelopes that are clearly already there

SOURCE: My HP LaserJet 4200 prints fine from tray 2, but will NOT print envelopes from tray 1. It WILL print on regular paper from tray 1, but will not print envelopes. What gives? I've already rebooted the

Are there settings on the control panel of your printer?
Is the tray 1 the MP tray? (The one that flips towards you)
If so, can you change the settings of the Tray 1 to Envelope on the control panel?

I hope this helps.

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.

Sounds like you have a bad fuser. Are you using refilled 3rd party toner or genuine HP toner?

measure the distance from first instance of the repeated image to the next instance on same page. This will identify if the image is stuck on a fuser roller or the toner's photoconductive drum.

each roller in a printer has a different circumference and repetitive images can be diagnosed this way.

provide the measurements as close as possible in fractions of inches or cm's.

Thank you,

Hi,

Try to print envelope through Microsoft Word

Steps:-

1) Click Tools , click Letters and Mailings and then click Envelopes and Labels .
2) Type the Delivery and Return address information.
3) Click Options .
4) On the Envelope Options tab, set the following options:-

• Envelope size : set to match the loaded envelopes.
• US only : if desired, select the Delivery point barcode to make it easier for mail sorting machinery to correctly route the envelope.
• Return address : for Size 10 envelopes only, set the Return Address position .8 inch in the From left section.

• Select the Feed Method option that shows the envelope on the far right side with the short edge first.
• Select Face down .
• Examine the selected feed method image and verify that the envelope flap is on the left side of the envelope. If it is on the right, select or deselect Clockwise rotation.

• Print envelopes at a higher quality setting so envelope is pulled through the unit more slowly. e.g:- Switch fast to slow mode or slow to best mode.
• Tuck the flap inside the envelope before loading it into the printer.

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.
