Envelope Print Feed Position

When printing envelopes, you can select how they are fed into your printer and how the printed image is positioned. This feature is not available for cut-out envelopes.

To change the position of the envelope being printed:

1.  Click the Change Position button in the Print Envelope Project dialog. The Change Position dialog appears.

2.  First, check the position in which your envelope will be fed through your printer. The row of position icons lets you control the orientation of how your envelope is printed. The blue arrow indicates how the paper you are printing on is fed into the printer. You can usually determine which selection is correct for your printer just by looking at the paper guides on the printer itself or by experimenting by printing envelopes; if in doubt, refer to your printer manual.

NOTE: The final three print feed positions may be unavailable for some envelope formats, as they will not fit the page if positioned horizontally.

3.  If your printer prints on the top of the sheet of paper, select the Feed Envelope Stamp Side Up option. If your printer prints on the bottom of the sheet, select the Feed Envelope Flap Side Up option.

4.  You may also find the following additional options useful: Rotate Envelope 180 degrees and Shift print area up/down. The Rotate Envelope 180 degrees option tells The Print Shop to rotate an envelope 180 degrees to fit the position of an envelope fed into printer.

Depending on your printer, the printing area may not coincide with an envelope you are printing on. The Shift print area up/down option moves the printing area up or down, so you can position your envelope and the printing area to fit each other. The Print Shop analyzes how the printing area has been positioned and shifts it accordingly.

5.  When you have set the position options, click the OK button.

6.  Click the Print button to start printing your envelope project.
