Won't print envelopes - Brother HL 2140 Laser Printer

Solution : Print on Envelopes You can print envelopes from the Bypass Tray only.
Guidelines for Printing Envelopes

• Print quality depends on the quality and construction of the envelopes. Try another envelope brand if you do not get desired results.
• Maintain constant temperatures and relative humidity.
• Store unused envelopes in their packaging to avoid excess moisture and dryness which can affect print quality and cause wrinkling. Excessive moisture can cause the envelopes to seal before or during printing.
• Remove air bubbles from the envelopes before loading them into the tray by setting a heavy book on top of them.
• In the print driver software, select Envelope as the paper type.
• Do not use padded envelopes. Use envelopes that lie flat on a surface.
• Do not use envelopes with heat activated glue.
• Do not use envelopes with press and seal flaps.
• Use only paper envelopes.
• Do not use envelopes with windows or metal clasps.

To Load Envelopes in the Bypass Tray:

1. Open the Bypass Tray.





2. Move the width guides to the edges of the tray.
   
   NOTE: If you do not load envelopes in the Bypass Tray right after they have been removed from the packaging, they can bulge. Flatten them to avoid jams.
3. To load envelopes, select an option:
   • For Number 10 envelopes, load the envelopes with the short edge going into the printer, flaps down, and flaps to the right.
   • For C5 envelopes, do one of the following. If the envelopes wrinkle, try another option.
     • Insert envelopes with the print side up, flaps closed and down, and flaps going into the printer.
     • Insert envelopes with the print side up, flaps closed and down, and flaps going into the printer.
   NOTE: When loading Monarch or DL envelopes, remove the Multipurpose Tray.
   
4. On the printer Control Panel, press the Menu button.
   
   NOTE: To navigate through the menu, use the Up or Down arrow buttons.
5. Navigate to Tray Settings, then press OK.

Have you already tried this? After you click print and select your printer, click properites and select your paper from 8.5x11 to Envelope.

Hi

The envelopes are standard in size hence do not use any odd sizes. And also do remember that you make the required alignment and also the feeding directions and positions. If you print in Landscape then the paper is too short for the printer to pick. Hence use Portrait so your printer can sense the presence of the envelope

Place envelopes in either drawer 1 (top drawer) or the by-pass tray. Generally, the envelope is placed side to be printed down. (On the printer you can set up custom envelope sizes.)

Select Print. Click 'Properties' for the printer. In the resultant dialogue window, set the printer to print to the 'envelope' print path.
Click OK, click Print. (test print direction first)
Check your printed envelope. You may need to change the orientation of the envelopes to print with the opening at the top.

Hi,

Step 1- Remove the output tray



Step 2 : Load Envelopes

To print one or more envelopes, follow these steps:

1. Remove all paper from the paper tray, and then slide a stack of envelopes into the tray, with the envelope flaps up and to the left (print-side down), until they stop.

2. Adjust the paper-width guide against the envelopes. Be careful not to bend the envelopes and do not overload the tray.



3. Adjust the paper settings in the Printer Properties dialog box for envelopes. Click the Paper/Quality tab, then select the following print settings:

Size is: The appropriate envelope size
Type is: Automatic or Plain paper

4. Select any other print settings that you want, and then click OK .

5. Print the envelopes.

I print envelopes a lot for my business.
What I do is I use the regular paper feed, and I open the flap on the envelope so that it's flatter. Simply slide the paper guide to adjust to the size of the envelope.
Also, typically the orientation for printing envelopes is sideways. You put the left edge of the envelope in the printer first. If you are unsure of the orientation, simply do your first print on plain paper. Then you'll know how to insert the envelope.

nstructions Use the following steps to ensure that you are ready to print envelopes. Your printer can have either a single envelope or multiple envelopes loaded and ready for printing.

• If you are printing a single envelope, you can use the single envelope slot and leave your paper in the lower (IN) tray. This allows you to print the envelope and then a letter.
• If you are printing a stack of envelopes, use the lower (IN) tray for loading the stack of envelopes.

To Load a Single Envelope

1. Do not remove the paper from the lower (IN) tray. Be sure the card guide is in the down position, before using the single envelope slot.
2. Remove a single envelope from its packaging.
3. Slide the envelope evenly into the single envelope slot. The single envelope slot is located on the right side of the upper (OUT) tray. The envelope should be loaded with the address side down (flap side up).
4. Make sure the creased flap edge of the envelope aligns with the right side of the single envelope slot.
5. Slide the envelope through the slot until it stops. Make sure the envelope is not bent and is straight in the envelope slot.
   NOTE: To minimize print skew, use envelopes with rectangular flaps rather than triangular flaps.

To Load Multiple Envelopes

1. Slide the paper width adjuster to its leftmost position.
2. Pull out the paper length adjuster and remove any paper from the IN tray.
3. Remove up to 20 envelopes from their packing and tap the short edge of the envelopes on a flat surface to even the stack.
4. Slide the envelopes evenly into the IN tray, address side down (flap side up).
5. Slide the paper width adjuster to the right until it gently touches the left edge of the envelope stack.
6. For size Invitation A2 and C6 Envelopes, press the inside of the paper length adjuster handle to release and lower it.
7. For all sizes of envelopes, push the paper length adjuster in toward the envelopes until it stops. Make sure the envelopes are flat in the lower tray and not bent.

Set up the Printer Properties

1. Select Start on the taskbar. Choose Settings, then Printers. Right-click the printer. Select Properties from the pop-up menu.
2. Select the Paper or Setup tab depending on the version of the printer driver software.
3. In the Paper Options section, select the desired envelope size from the Paper Size drop-down box.
4. Click OK.

Print Print the envelope from your chosen program. From most applications, just select the File menu, then choose Print. After Printing the Envelopes Reset the printer and the printer properties for the kind of printing you will be doing next.

1. Remove any remaining envelopes from the lower (IN) tray.
2. Slide the paper width adjuster to its leftmost position.
3. Load the desired paper into the lower (IN) tray.
4. On the computer, Select Start on the taskbar. Choose Settings, then Printers. Right-click the printer. Select Properties from the pop-up menu.
5. Select the Paper or Setup tab depending on the version of the printer driver software.

Well that depends, additional info would be great.

Here's an example:

PRINTING ENVELOPES from Microsoft Word

The envelope should be fed into the printer using the short side, all the way to the right, flap to the back and to the left.

Please follow the steps below to print envelopes in Microsoft Word:

1. Open Microsoft Word.
2. Click on TOOLS, then ENVELOPES AND LABELS.
3. Ensure the ENVELOPES tab is selected. Click on the OPTIONS button.
4. Select your envelope size under ENVELOPE OPTIONS (ie: #10).
5. Select PRINT OPTIONS.
6. Under FEED METHOD, from the six options available select the FOURTH icon from the left. Select FACE UP.
7. Ensure CLOCKWISE ROTATION is selected.
8. Under ENVELOPE OPTIONS, ensure you choose the correct envelope size (ie: #10).
9. Click OK, then PRINT.

The envelopes should print correctly now.

Here is a how-to for the printer, but I'm not sure if you mean the printer, or in a program.
If this is not what you need, let me know.

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.
