Envelope printing I have a 6122 printer.I need instructions to print irregular size envelopes. Specifically, how to feed them into the printer.Harry [email protected]

hi, each and every envelope has a code to identify it. So you printer knows what the size and format of the envelope is. you must select the code in envelope section from your application which you are printing your address for the envelope from eg; MS-Word. You should do this because not only dimentions of the envelope is telling the printer where to print but the weight of the envelope so it can allow for the thicker paper coz at some corners of the envelope it is 3x the thickness. feed it from the rear of the printer (manual feed) so it has its straightest path and does not have to curl around the rollers. make sure you feed it into the correct path there should be a line as a guide to where to feed it in so it can configure itself to where to print on the envelope.. i hope that helps you.. cheers!

Set the envelope size in the printer properties paper size list to A5 (5.83 x 8.27) which is only .08 inches wider than the short side of an A9 envelope (5.75 inches). The paper size sensor on the HP6520 printer must not be sensitive enough to tell the difference. I can print A9 envelopes just fine using the A5 setting.

Note:

• Be sure to set the printer driver setting properly. If you do not, the address will be printed in the wrong direction.
  
  
• It may be required to change the paper size option to 'Envelope' in File Page Setup menu.
  Note:
  

Printer Driver Settings:

1Select Envelope in Media Type.

1. 
   
2. Select the size for envelopes.
   
   * In Windows, select DL Env. or Comm. Env. #10 in Page Size.
   
3. * In Macintosh, select DL Envelope or #10 Envelope in Paper Size.
   
4. Select Landscape in Orientation.
   

No, your not. The M24 has to be the hardest machine on earth to print an envelope on, It is the biggest headache I have ever seen in printing. Here are the instructions and good luck.

NOTE: The PCL driver is the only driver supported for printing envelopes. There is no support for printing to envelopes using the Adobe PostScript® printer driver. It is necessary to complete all steps to successfully print envelopes.

NOTE: If printing through a server, changes to the driver must be made at the server level.

To set up the custom size paper for the printer:

NOTE: The setup of the custom size paper is a one-time step. Once the custom size is setup it remains an available paper size until it is changed.

1. At the workstation, click on [Start], point to [Settings], then select [Printers].
2. Right-click on your printer and select [Properties] from the menu. The Printer Properties window will be displayed.
   
   NOTE: Use the custom size paper in the printer driver when printing within an application.
   
   
3. Select the [Configuration] tab.
4. Select [Bypass Feed Orientation] and make sure it is set to Portrait in order to feed the envelopes long edge feed (LEF).
5. Select [Custom Paper Size].
6. Select one of the five custom sizes.
   
   NOTE: There are five custom sizes that can be set up for use in the printer driver properties. Custom Paper Size can be given an individual name by selecting [Name]and typing the name for the custom size, such as, envelope. The name will then appear as an option in output size.
   
   Three types of envelopes are supported:

Type for Envelope Metric Size Imperial Size Monarch 98.4 mm x 191 mm 3.9 x 7.5 Inch Commercial #10 105 mm x 241 mm 4 x 9.5 Inch DL 110 mm x 220 mm 4 x 8.6 Inch

1. Enter the short edge and long edge values for the envelope size you are using. The driver will now show the new custom size as one of the choices in Output Size.
2. Click [OK].

To set your printing preferences for the printer:

1. At the workstation, click on [Start], point to [Settings], then select [Printers].
2. Right-click on the printer you want to print envelopes and select [Properties] from the menu that will be displayed.
3. Select [Printing Preferences].
4. Select [Tray 5] (Bypass) for the Paper Source.
5. Select [Heavyweight 2 (170-220 g/m²)] for the Paper Type.
6. Select the custom size you created for envelopes for the Output Size.
7. Click [OK] twice to exit the Printing Preferences and the Properties windows.

To print envelopes at the workstation using Microsoft Word®:

1. Open your Word application.
2. Select [File] on the top left of the toolbar.
3. Select [Print] from the menu. The Printer window will be displayed.
4. Select the printer that you will use to print the envelopes. This printer will use the same driver where you defined the custom paper size.
5. Select [Close].
   
   NOTE:If you do not select the correct driver you will not be able to select the correct paper size in Page Setup.

To print envelopes at the workstation using Microsoft Word Page Setup:

1. Open your Word application.
2. Select [File] on the top left of the toolbar.
3. Select [Page Setup] from the menu. The Page Setup window will be displayed.
4. Select the [Paper Size] tab.
5. Use the paper size pull-down to select the paper size you defined in the driver. The paper size will be listed by the name you gave it in the driver setup. The default will be custom 1, 2, 3, 4 or 5.
6. Make sure the orientation is set to Landscape and select [OK]. At this point edit the page with the information you want printed on the envelope.
7. Select [File] from the toolbar.
8. Select [Print].

To load envelopes at the printer:

Load the envelopes into Paper Tray 5 (Bypass Tray). The orientation needs to be long edge feed (LEF) with the flap closed and the flap side at the lead edge, and the print side facing down. The printer is now set to print on the envelope.

NOTE: Load a maximum of 10 envelopes into Tray 5 (Bypass Tray) at a time. You may be able to fit a few more depending on the envelope's thickness but do not exceed the max fill line on the tray. The envelope may wrinkle depending on its weight and stiffness. The machine is not designed to handle high-capacity production envelope printing.

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.

Loading a single envelope Loading multiple envelopes Loading a single envelope Preparing to print

1. Place the envelope, with the flap side on the left and facing up, into the single envelope slot.
2. Push the envelope forward until it stops. See Figure 1.

Figure 1: Inserting the envelope Printing guidelines

• Verify that the Out tray is in the down position.
• Avoid using envelopes that have clasps or windows.
• Avoid using envelopes that are shiny or embossed, envelopes with thick, irregular, or curled edges, or envelopes that are wrinkled, torn, or otherwise damaged.

Loading multiple envelopes Preparing to print

1. Pull out the In tray.
2. Slide out both paper guides and remove all paper from the tray.
3. Place no more than 15 envelopes -- with the flap side on the left and facing up -- in the tray.
4. Push the envelopes forward until they stop.
5. Slide the paper guides snugly against the edges of the envelopes, then push the tray forward until it stops. See Figure 2.

Figure 2: Inserting multiple envelopes Printing the envelopes Each software program is different and requires different steps to successfully print envelopes. For instance, in many versions of MS Word, clicking Tools , and then Envelopes and Labels , accesses the envelope-printing feature. Other software programs will differ from this procedure. Consult the Help menu on a software program or User's Guide for instructions for the particular application. Printing guidelines

• Never place more than 15 envelopes in the In tray at one time.
• Align the envelope edges before inserting them.
• Avoid using envelopes that have clasps or windows.
• Avoid using envelopes that are shiny or embossed, envelopes with thick, irregular, or curled edges, or envelopes that are wrinkled, torn, or otherwise damaged.

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.

You need to insert the envelope in the manual feed area and open the exit door at the back this allows the envelope to go straight through the printer hopefully limiting creasing. Check the envelope settings in windows make sure that you are using the correct size and feed selection.
