Use the steps below if you print envelopes with the Hewlett-Packard (HP) envelope tray on a LaserJet Series II printer. This tray is specially designed for envelopes; it is different from the regular paper tray, which has envelope guides on the top.

  Under Format Division Margins, choose the following settings: In Word version 5.5, these settings are changed under Format Margins (ALT, T, M): Top: 1.5 inches Bottom: 0 inches Left: 4 inches Right: 0 inches Page length: 4.12 inches Page width: 9.5 inches   Select HPLASLAN.PRD or another HP landscape printer driver under Print Options Printer. In Word version 5.5, select the printer driver under File Printer Setup.   In Word version 5.0, select HP LaserJet Series IID in the Print Options “model:” field and Envelope in the “feed:” field. In Word version 4.0, select Continuous in the “feed:” field. In Word version 5.5, select HP LaserJet Series IID in the File Printer Setup “Printer Name” field and Envelope in the “Paper feed” field.   Adjust the top, bottom, left, and right margins as needed. Do not change the page length and width settings; doing so causes the printer to display an error message requesting a tray that matches the paper size requested. Make sure that the envelope tray is adjusted to have the same form length and width as selected in step 1. In Word version 5.5, adjust the top, bottom, left, and right margins as needed. Do not change the page height and width settings; doing so causes the printer to display an error message requesting a tray that matches the paper size requested. Make sure that the envelope tray is adjusted to have the same form length and width as selected in step 1. 

Note: Microsoft has not tested Microsoft Word for MS-DOS with the HP envelope tray and therefore cannot guarantee its results.
