CANON MX922 ENVELOPE PRINTING HOW TO
CANON MX922 ENVELOPE PRINTING SERIES

When printing an envelope, I lay that sheet on top of the existing paper stack in the printer's lower drawer, and place the envelope on that sheet, butted up against the strip of card stock. I have adapted it thusly: Cut a 2-1/8' (slightly wider than NCS's 'regular business card') strip of 8-1/2 x 11 card stock, and secure it to an 8-1/2 x 11 sheet of paper, along the left edge. Whatever the reason, it was a bad idea poorly executed. I presume Canon eliminated the rear tray to make room for some new feature. Of course, it never occurred to me to ask about it. Not a word was said about envelope printing, a function everyone needs sooner or later, probably often. Before purchasing the 922, I talked with someone at Canon support about its features. : New firmware version 1.0.5.A Nobel Prize to 'NCS'! I have been using Canon printers for years, most recently an 860 which I replaced with the 922.

: Canon EOS R5 C training series is released. This is a single envelope only solution but for many of us that is enough.Ī shame that Canon has forced us to go to these lengths to simply print an envelope when they could have designed the upper tray to accomodate an envelope.

Once the paper is into the printer there is enough space above the frame of the tray to accomodate the envelopeĬlearly its a tight fit and its a hack but it works and overcomes a major shortcoming of this printer. Just be careful as you insert the tray to keep the envelope against the far end of the tray. I know #10 envelopes don't fit into the upper cassette - or do they? Turns out if you set the paper guides to the 5x7 size and the width to match your envelope you can fit a single envelope into the cassette even though it overlaps the paper guide and onto the frame of the tray. You need to lay out the address and return address on the 5x7 page but there is enough printable space to make it work. The 5x7 size will trigger the paper to draw from the upper cassette. Set up the paper size in Word to 5x7 printing in landscape mode.

I figured out how to print a single #10 envelope without having to remove paper from the bottom cassette. On the Epson, I had to adjust the paper guides on the rear feed to fit the envelope or check, select 'print', choose rear paper cassete - when I'd hit 'okay', the window would minimize, so I'd have to open the document window again to select 'print.' With the Canon, I just open the tray a little, place the envelope/check in the center, hit 'quick print', and I'm done. Much easier than on my old Epson printer with a rear paper feed. I use the same method to print 'deposit only' info on the backs of business checks I receive. Quick and easy without having to remove the paper. Close the tray and print! I just got this printer a few days ago and have printed several envelopes using this method. Slide the envelope back until it hits the stop - make sure it's centered and straight (I put a small red dot dead center on the grey paper guide with a Sharpie to give me a visual cue, but it's easy to eyeball it). Sure - just pull the lower tray out a few inches, place the envelope face down on top of your paper stack, centered. Too bad I didn't know before I purchased it that I have to remove all the paper from the tray whenever I print an envelope on this printer! The process to accomplish this on this printer is not only ridiculous, should you wish to print an envelope but it made me feel silly trying to imagine how any one could design a printer in such a crazy fashion to perform a simple popular task.

It was recently purchased and when I typed a letter today, I wanted to print the address on the envelope from MS Word, which is usually a very simple process. If nothing else, buyers should be warned about the most poorly planned feature on this model printer.
