Graphic & Envelope
I have put my logo graphic on to an envelope in Word 2000... but when I print
it.... it never prints on the envelope...the envelope usually prints on a regular sheet of paper... the graphic and addresses print fine on the regular sheet of paper... but they never print on the envelope... Sometimes the envelope passes through the printer & gets the addresses only without the graphic... and other times nothing shows up on the envelope at all....but everything gets printed on a seperate sheet of regular paper... any ideas ? |

This could be simply attributable to poor envelope handling by the printer,
but see if http://www.gmayor.com/Alternative_Return_Addresses.htm helps. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org Max wrote: I have put my logo graphic on to an envelope in Word 2000... but when I print it.... it never prints on the envelope...the envelope usually prints on a regular sheet of paper... the graphic and addresses print fine on the regular sheet of paper... but they never print on the envelope...

You are, of course, adjusting the printer's feed
mechanism lever to account for the fact that you're printing envelopes and not sheets of paper, right? Virtually all printers have a control--usually a lever-- to adjust the printer's feed for the thickness of the paper or envelope. Your printer should be able to handle envelopes fine, provided that you adjusted the feed to process envelopes, and provided that you are not overloading the envelope feeder, and provided that you don't stuff the envelope with cards or materials before printing. Consult your printer's manual for specifics on processing envelopes. And when you're through printing envelopes, don't forget to reset the printer's feed control back to the paper setting.

'Virtually all' is overstating things as neither of my printers have such a
lever, but the point is a good one.

Perhaps "lever" was a poor choice of words. The majority
of inkjet printers do have a paper "adjustment mechanism" (whether a lever or a slide adjustor) to allow for envelopes or normal papers. When I sold printers at a bigbox computer store, all the inkjet printers (Canon, Epson, HP, and Lexmark) did have a paper adjustment mechanism. Can't speak to laser printers. It's been so long since I examined a laser printer...they probably have an adjustment mechanism, too. HP printers have had a reputation for difficulty in processing envelopes (especially large Christmas card type envelopes) because of its fairly unique approach of feeding paper in the front and pulling it over and through. I much prefer the much simpler rear feed down-'n-out path of Canon, Epson, and Lexmark. Personally, jammed the printer the first time trying to use envelopes because I failed to move the adjustment lever to the envelope position. The printer did not appreciate the error. Learned my lesson. "Graham Mayor" wrote in message ... 'Virtually all' is overstating things as neither of my printers have such a lever, but the point is a good one.

HP LaserJets have no such mechanism that I am aware of. My LJ4 (which fed
from the side) handled #12 envelopes without difficulty; the LJ 4100, which wants to feed envelopes from the center, just can't handle #12s at all: if fed from the center, they are printed in the wrong place; if fed from the side, they jam. sigh -- Suzanne S.

That must be really old experience. My old HP Laserjet 6P I've had to many years, had a straight path, and so does my new 2550n. Both HP printers printed heavier stock than the Canon and Epson inkjets I used. Oh, and no laser I've ever seen had a thickness adjustment; not necessary for laser designs. Me things something's gotten out of order here; haven't seen a laser yet without a straight thru path in it. |

I was speaking strictly of inkjet printers. HP
inkjet printers do feed paper in from the front and rolls paper up and out to a higher output tray. Heavier stock such as envelopes and artistic canvas have been known to hang in the feed path. I've printed envelopes and 100 weight white stock using my Epson inkjet paper with no problems. I've learned my lesson. From now on, I will be EXACT in specifying whether I'm discussing ink jet or laser printers. You can rest assured that I won't discuss laser printers often because it's been ten years since I last owned one.

My Epson 300, Epson 600, Epson C82, Epson 925, Epson 4600, and
Epson 4800 inkjets have had such levers. Mine do, yours don't. Dem's the breaks. Oh, well. I tire of this subject. Let's retire it. "Graham Mayor" wrote in message ...

What in particular did you do to "make" it work?
