Problem
You want to create an envelope form.


Concept
There are several types of envelopes you can create forms for. You will need to know the width and the height of the envelope. You will also need to know if the envelope is fed into the printer manually (and therefore if it is fed in landscape or portrait orientation) or if it is fed from a paper bin.


Solution
There are two methods for creating an envelope. To create the standard 9.5" x 4.25" envelope type, use Method 1. If the standard envelope type is already set up and you want to create a different type, use Method 2.

Method 1
This method will create an envelope that is 9.5" x 4.25".

1      From a blank document screen press Format (Shift+F8).

2      Choose Page (2), then choose Paper Size (7).

3      Choose Add (2), then choose Envelope (5).

You are now at the Edit Paper Definition screen.

4      Choose Paper Size (1), then choose Envelope (5).

Before you go to step 4, you need to determine whether your envelopes are fed landscape or portrait into your printer. Refer to your printer manual if you do not know.

5      Choose Font Type (3). Choose either Portrait (1) or Landscape (2).

6      Choose Location (5), then choose how your envelopes will be fed: Continuous (1), Bin Number (2), or Manual (3).

7      Choose Prompt to Load (4), then type N to answer No.

Step 7 ensures that you will not get the Press Shift+F7, 4 to resume printing prompt each time you print a new envelope.
8      Press Exit (F7) three times to return to the document editing screen.

Method 2
You will need to manually enter the measurements of the envelope to create the Envelope paper size. This example will create a 7.5" x 3.88" envelope, commonly known as the Monarch.

1      From a blank document screen press Format (Shift+F8).

2      Choose Page (2), then choose Paper Size (7).

3      Choose Add (2), then choose Other (9).

Now you need to name your paper type. You do not need to know the specific name of the envelope type¦simply name it something you will remember. If you already have a form called Envelope, do not name this form Envelope as well. Each paper size and type must be unique from all others.

Our example is for the Monarch paper type.

4      Type Monarch and press Enter.

You are now at the Edit Paper Definition screen.

5      Choose Paper Size (1), then choose Other (o).

6      Type 7.5 for the Width, then press Enter.

7      Type 3.88 for the Height, then press Enter.

Before you move to step 8, you need to determine whether your envelopes are fed landscape or portrait into your printer.
Refer to your printer manual if you do not know.

8      Choose Font Type (3). Select either Portrait (1), or Landscape (2).

9      Choose Location (5), then choose how your envelopes will be fed: Continuous (1), Bin Number (2), or Manual (3).

10      Choose Prompt to Load (4), then type N to answer No.

Step 10 ensures that you will not get the Press Shift+F7, 4 to resume printing prompt each time you print a new envelope.

11      Press Exit (F7) three times to return to the document editing screen.
