The following assumes the Full Feature Software has been installed and is functional.

 

Load the paper / envelopes according to the instructions in the User Guide

Pay attention to flap location and rotation.

Pages 13-14

 

Next

Check / Modify the paper settings on the printer display panel, in the Embedded Web Server (EWS), and in Printing Preferences.

Notes

Printing envelopes in Word > Mailings > Envelopes

 

Preferences are not directly involved when printing envelopes from Word.

That said, make sure your preferred shortcut in Preferences is set to Everyday Printing as opposed to a booklet or photo printing shortcut selection.

 

When not a sensor issue,

If the envelope prints incorrectly (or not at all) in spite of correct and proper size, tray, and rotation selection,

Treat the envelope as if it is a "Custom Size" envelope.
