When you print envelopes on an HP DeskJet 540 printer using the
Windows 95 DeskJet 540 driver, the printed text is upside down or
rotated.
RESOLUTION
To properly print envelopes to a DeskJet 540, insert the envelopes rotated
180 degrees from the diagram shown on the DeskJet sheet feeder. You should
insert the envelopes with the flap on top, pointing to the right.
If this does not resolve the problem, you can use the HP DeskJet 550c
driver that ships with Windows 95. If you are using the 550c driver
emulation, you should insert the envelope as shown on the diagram on the
DeskJet 540 sheet feeder (with the flap pointing to the left.)
For more information about how to load the DeskJet 550c printer driver, see
your Windows 95 printed documentation or online Help.
NOTE: To make sure that envelopes are created in the correct
orientation, set the DeskJet 550c as the default printer.
MORE INFORMATION
Rotating the envelope is the recommended way to feed the envelopes with the
DeskJet 540 because the printer has a large nonprintable region at the
bottom of the page.
By rotating the envelope, you do not have to accommodate the nonprintable
region and can print the return address closer to the left edge of the
envelope page.
