---  Quarter size envelope made from a sheet of Letter size paper  ---

If you are making your envelope out of a sheet of paper, create a document and a text box for each of the Return (From) Address and the Destination (To) Address.

If you cannot estimate the location for the Text Boxes, create a Table on the page of your document and enter the text / text boxes in the section where you want to see the address.

OR

---  Print a Purchased Quarter Size Envelope in Size 4 3/8" x 5 3/4" ---

Purchased envelopes / Custom paper size of this (or similar) size are supported in the Printer's Media Specifications.  That assumes that the paper from which the little envelope is made is not made from card paper that is too heavy for the printer.

 Use the HP printer Embedded Web Server (EWS)

NOTE:  Find printer IP address

Section Open the EWS over a local network orientation

OR

Open your Browser > Type / enter the Printer IP address into URL / Address bar

Reminders

Tray and Paper – Paper Size / Paper Type / Paper Weight

EWS (Embedded Web Server) provides access and control for Settings, including Tray and Paper.

Paper Size, Type, and Weight loaded in the printer tray must be supported for use in that tray.

If asked enter the printer’s PIN number –

The default PIN might be located on the back or inside the printer (ink access area).

HP Smart / HP App Mobile might require that paper size / type is rechecked / adjusted before content is opened for print.

Notes

Depending on the printer model, the Printer Control Panel touchscreen might provide access to Paper Size / Type settings immediately after the paper is (re)loaded into the appropriate printer intake tray or when the tray is opened and then closed.

Newer printer?  Touchscreen Printer Control Panel locked against making changes?  Try username "admin" and the PIN located on the sticker on the inside of the front door of the printer.

Trays

• If the printer lacks a second tray, all paper / types are supported in the single available tray.
• Printers that include a Photo Tray generally restrict the paper sizes and paper type supported in that tray.

Custom size?

If your paper is a custom size, look for "Custom" in the full list of paper sizes.

Remember >> Printers with more than one tray might only support custom paper sizes and types in one of the available trays.

If EWS does not allow setting the paper size or size “Custom”,

If the printer includes a touchscreen display printer control panel,

Look for the setting for “Custom” in the Printer Control Panel after (re)loading the paper to be used

NOTE:  EWS Size Custom is not available for all printers

Job Configuration

As best as can be done, the Paper Type must match the paper type set / adjusted in EWS (in the printer).

The paper size must be a match:  Loaded Paper settings / EWS and in the application or software you are using to configure and submit the print job.

If the job setup balks because the Source (Tray) is set to some form of Automatic, Select the Tray.

The app and method you use to configure the job depends on whether you are using a single sheet of paper that will be folded into quarters OR whether you are using purchased envelopes.

Example - Word > Mailings > Envelope

If the size of envelope is not in your drop down paper size, select Custom and enter the dimensions.
