Problem With Return Address Margin When Printing Envelopes

Question

I recently got a new computer at work that is running Windows 8.1 and Office 2013. When I print an envelope (size 10), my return address is cut off. The margins are set to "auto", and when it prints there is a 1/2 inch margin, but the first few characters of every line are missing. Yes, I can change the margins to 1 inch and all the characters are there, but it looks stupid because the address is so far to the right. Anyone have any ideas...before I bang my head against the wall? ;)

Answer 1

Is the default envelope feed such that the return address is on the trailing edge of the envelope as it feeds into the printer? If this is an inkjet printer, it may well be that the unprintable area for the "bottom" margin (that is, the trailing edge) is more than half an inch.

Answer 2

Thanks for the reply.  I ended up just saving it as a PDF, then minimizing the margins in the print preview to get it to print. That worked, but not an ideal solution.

Answer 3

The return address is not on the trailing edge as it feeds into the printer. It's a Xerox Phaser 8650MFP that printed envelopes without any issues before I got a new computer that runs Windows 8.1 and Office 2013.

Answer 5

If you print onto a piece of plain paper is all of the text of the return address present? 

The problem may be that the printer is not feeding the envelope correctly and that the printing starts before it is in the correct position.
