Solution
Use either European DL or US Comm. Env. #10-sized envelope.
With proper printer driver settings, the address will be printed according to the direction of envelope.
IMPORTANT
- Envelopes with a double flap (or sticker flaps)
- Envelopes with an embossed or treated surface
- Envelopes with pressure seals
- Envelopes whose gummed flaps are already moistened and adhesive
1. Prepare the envelopes.
- Press down on all four corners and edges of the envelopes to flatten them.
- If the envelopes are curled, hold the opposite corners and gently twist them in the opposite direction.
- If the corner of the envelope flap is folded, flatten it.
- If the leading edge of an envelope is puffed up or curled, use a pen to press the envelope flat and sharpen the crease.
Press the envelope flat, working from the middle to the edge.
REFERENCE
* The above illustrations show a side view of the leading edge of the envelope.
IMPORTANT
- The envelopes may jam in the printer if they are not flat or the edges are not aligned.
- Make sure that no curl or puff exceeds 0.1 inches / 3 mm.
