I am a printer technician who has seen this issue happening for years, and the end-users typically get frustrated with the printer instead of the dialog. If not, why is the dialog capable of specifyingĪ media size, but not a media type? Shouldn't it be assumed that the media type would be an envelope or label when printing from the dialog? My question is: Can the Envelope and Labels dialog be set permanently to default to the type of media it's eluding to printing on regardless of if the tray 1 of the printer is set to "Any Size, Any Type". Which is specifying the media type to be an envelope (ENV), and the media size to be a #10 envelope (ENV #10). When an envelope is sent properly to the printer, the display will read "ENV ENV #10", The fuser needs to heat up more to penetrate the multiple layers of paper, and it slows down to aid in the heat process and to reduce the chance of creasing the envelope. When the printer prints on plain paper, the fuser doesn't need to get very hot, and it prints fast. In this example, PLAIN ENV #10 is asking for the media type of plain paper (PLAIN), the size of a #10 envelope (ENV #10).
I look at my HP printer,Īnd it's asking me for " PLAIN ENV #10" media to be put into Tray 1. I open the "Options" and the "Feed from:" setting is "Default tray (Automatically Select)". I am using the Envelopes and Labels dialog in Word to print an address on an envelope. If the printer thinks it's printing on plain paper, and a label or envelope is sent through, the toner will not fuse properly to the thicker media, causing it to flake off.
This causes the printer to assume you're printing on the default type of media in Tray 1, and if Tray 1 is set for "Any Size, Any Type", it defaults to the printers default type, which When clicking "Print" from the dialog, the job is sent to the printers bypass tray (Tray 1) with the correct media size information, butįails to inform the printer what type of paper it should be printing on. There is a problem with printing Envelopes and Labels from the Envelopes and Labels dialog and printing to HP printers.
