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.

Caution

Do not use the following envelopes:

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.

* The above illustrations show a side view of the leading edge of the envelope.

Caution

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.
