Envelope Printing

 

Printing options for the Envelope style printing are set from the Page Setup - Envelope Style dialog.  This dialog can be accessed from either the File/Page Setup/Envelope Style... menu command, or from within the Print dialog. 

 

This print style is for printing mailing addresses on an envelope.

 

The following options are available for envelope style printing:

 

Paper Size

Choose the size of the envelope you want to print on.

Paper Source

Select which paper tray the envelope you want to print on is located.

Fonts - Delivery...

Choose the font and color for the delivery address.  A sample of how the delivery address text will appear is shown to the right of this button.

Fonts - Return...

Choose the font and color for the return address.  A sample of how the return address text will appear is shown to the right of this button.

Feed Method

Choose whether you will feed the envelope face up, or face down.  Also click the button that represents how you will feed the envelope into the printer tray.  The "Clockwise" option applies to the feed methods where the envelope is fed in vertically.

Delivery Address

Select the Printed Fields... button to select which fields will be printed for the delivery address.  (more info)

Also, specify if you would like the Delivery Point Barcode printed above your mailing address.  The Delivery Point Barcode will only be printed if the mailing address is within the United States.

Delivery Address Offset

Specify where on the envelope the delivery address will be printed.  Enter the number of inches from the top left corner of the envelope.  Default values will be filled in here whenever you select a new Paper Size.

Return Address Offset

Specify where on the envelope the return address will be printed.  Enter the number of inches from the top left corner of the envelope.  Default values will be filled in here whenever you select a new Paper Size.

Return Address

Enter the mailing address to use for the return address.  To not print any return address turn on the Do Not Print Return Address option.

Select the Image... button to specify an optional picture to print to the left of your return address.  The image will be scaled to be no taller than the return address.  If you want the image to be taller than the displayed return address, add some blank lines to the end of your return address.

Printer Requires Paper Size Exactly Match Envelope Size

Usually you will leave this option turned off.  Leaving this option off leaves the paper size set to the default of your printer.  This offers the benefit of being able to print closer to the edge of your envelope on some printers.  It also helps in the Print Preview by showing where the envelope will print, relative to a regular sheet of paper.

In some cases you may need to turn this option on.  If you receive an error about a paper size mismatch when printing envelopes, turn on this option.  Some printers require that the paper size be set to exactly the size of the envelope you are printing on.  These printers are often equipped with paper size sensors, and will not print unless your supplied envelope exactly matches the paper size specified.
