| Envelopes are generally printed through an optional paper tray, or a manual feed tray. First make certain that your print can print envelopes and has either type of tray available. Second, the envelopes you wish to print to, can your printer print to this type of paper? If so, please continue. |

| Some inkjets pull the envelope from the center of the tray, others pull envelopes from the left or right side of the tray. If you're uncertain where your envelopes should be loaded, print a letter size piece of paper as if it were an envelope. The finished job will tell you where the printer expects the envelope to be situated. Finally, when loading envelopes slide the adjustable paper guides to be flush with your envelopes so the printer will pull the envelopes straight. |

| When printing envelopes your printer may not allow more than twenty to fifty envelopes loaded in the tray at a time. Other printers have difficulty when only a few envelopes are loaded into the feeder. Loading the appropriate amount of envelopes each time will help ensure that printer can feed the envelopes properly. |

| Do you have mixed paper sizes and weights in your paper tray? You generally should not mix paper types in your tray. This can cause multiple envelopes to be pulled into your printer. Larger, heavier envelopes, such as kraft envelopes, will not print through inkjet printers. Use mailing labels instead. |

| What size envelope are you printing? Smaller envelopes, such as those for invitations, often will not print in your inkjet printer. Larger, heavier envelopes generally will not print either. For both of these scenarios use a laser printer or mailing labels. |
