Works: Printing Envelopes on a Dot-Matrix Printer (111932)


The information in this article applies to:

  • Microsoft Works 3.0
This article was previously published under Q111932

SUMMARY

When an envelope is created in Works 3.0 and a dot-matrix printer is selected as the active printer, the page size and orientation are determined as follows:
  1. For supported envelope sizes (those listed in the Page Size list box in Page Setup), Works gets the page size and orientation from the driver.
  2. For unsupported sizes, if Tractor is the paper source, Works will create a custom page size and default to a portrait orientation.

MORE INFORMATION

Some dot-matrix printers will print supported size envelopes in landscape and all unsupported sizes in portrait. An example of this scenario is the Panasonic KX-P 1124i. The only supported envelope size for this printer is 10 and it is fed in left side first. All other unsupported sizes are fed in top first on this printer.
