How to print an envelope

Make your typed letters look professional. Adding the extra touch of printing an envelope with your printer can make all the difference. You have no problem creating documents with your computer but when it comes to printing out envelopes it can be a whole new territory. Here are some tips for printing your envelope with your printer.

Begin with checking your printer settings. You need to know the paper size of your envelopes. This information can be found on the envelope packing details. Make a special note of the dimensions of the envelope. Some envelope makers even have short codes that can be used to quickly identify the envelop size. Next check the printer setting for the software that you are using. Some software packages make it easy to change printer settings for envelopes. This could include a step by step wizard that walks you through the print options for your document.

Get your envelopes ready to print. Check the print options to see how you should load the envelopes into the printer. Should the envelopes be facing up or down? Do they have to be placed to the right, center or left in the printer tray? Is there a special area on the printer for envelopes? These types of questions should be answered with the printer documentation.

Printing envelopes with your printer is a work in progress. Make sure that you have the information that you want printed properly selected. Load the envelopes into the printer in the manner described in the printer documentation. Understand that your first attempt at printing might not appear correctly.

Remember the direction and orientation that you inserted the envelopes into the printer. If the envelopes are printed on the wrong side or wrong direction you can easily make adjustments. Make a mental note of your successful printing job. Now you can create professional looking envelopes every time using your printer.
