Xerox copier - Printing on 6" x 9" envelopes

This page covers how to print on the Syracuse Architecture 6x9" envelopes.

Settings on the copier

  1. Before sending the print, load the envelope in Tray 5 (Bypass) on the left side of the copier.
  2. Load the side you want to print on face down (it will print on the underside).
  3. Load the envelope flap top edge pointing in so that the 9" side feeds into the printer.

  4. When you load the paper, the screen will prompt you to confirm the paper settings.
    1. For size, pick 6 x 9".
    2. For type, pick Envelope.
    3. Color can be left at White.
    4. Click Confirm when done.

Settings on your computer

  1. On your computer, print only PDFs (convert to PDF before you send the print). Don't print directly from Microsoft Word.
  2. Open the PDF in Acrobat and bring up the Print dialog box.
  3. After choosing the copier, set the following:
    1. Actual size
    2. enable 'Choose paper source by PDF page size'
    3. Auto portrait/landscape
  4. Click Properties to bring up the Xerox settings window.
  5. Under the Print Options tab > Paper section, click the drop down arrow.
  6. For Other Size, choose Fit to New Paper Size > Envelope (6 x 9").
  7. For Other Type, choose Envelope. Basically the idea is to match the settings you chose on the copier in Step 4 above.

  8. Now send the print. The envelope should automatically feed into the printer. It should exit the printer on the right side.

Troubleshooting

  • If the envelope does not get pulled in, double check the settings.
