Envelope Setup

Envelope setup is used to set the options for printing addresses on envelopes.

To set the envelope print options, select Utilities from the Main Menu. Select Envelope Setup from the drop down menu. The Envelope Setup dialogue is displayed.

Select the printer you wish to use to print the envelopes from the Available Printers list. (If you have more than one printer on your system, you may wish to use a printer other than the set default for envelope printing). If you have only one printer connected, the printer options will not be available.

Print Company Address	If checked, will print the return address on the top left corner of the envelope.
Left Margin (mm)	Sets the horizontal position of the return address.
Top Margin (mm)	Sets the vertical position of the return address.
Width (mm)	Envelope width (220 for standard DL size envelopes).
Height (mm)	Envelope height (110 for standard DL size envelopes).

Note:
When G-E prints a client name and address on an envelope, the information is obtained from the client file. If the client file fields are not correctly filled, or are incorrectly fielded, G-E will print inaccurate information. When printing your company return address on an envelope, G-E obtains the company information from the Company Details file. If the Company Details fields are not correctly filled or are incorrectly fielded, G-E will print inaccurate information.

Tip
Many printers require you insert envelopes "vertically" into the printer. To have G-E print correctly to envelopes inserted in this manner, ensure the paper type in your printer properties is set to Envelope DL. If your printer requires this setup, then switching the settings each time you wish to print an envelope is a pain. Try this. Install another copy of your printer using the "Add Printer" wizard in Windows. Rename the printer to something like "Envelope". Set the printer settings for this printer as required to print envelopes correctly. Save the printer settings. Open the Utilities menu in G-E and select "Envelope Setup". Set the default envelope printer to the new printer driver you just installed and named "Envelope". Now, when you wish to print an envelope, just remove the paper from the printer, insert the envelopes and print. Works a treat!
