Margins of size 9 envelopes giving me problems

[Guest]

Whenever I try to print a #9 envelope, I get the following message:

"The margins of section 1 are set outside the printable area of the page.
Do you want to continue?"

If you have any help for me, or need more clues, please let me know.

Thanks!

Hi =?Utf-8?B?TWFyeSBX?=,

Whenever I try to print a #9 envelope, I get the following message:

"The margins of section 1 are set outside the printable area of the page.
Do you want to continue?"

My first thought would be that the frame - used to position the recipient's
address - is set too wide and extends into the envelope margins?

Thanks! I managed to correct the frame of the mailing address, but the
return address does not print (I'm sorry; did not mention that clue before).

Is it possible that the return address really is within the unprintable
area?

This is possible, but I don't know how to set it up. I do not have a
template for #9 envelopes (only #10).

 

[Suzanne S. Barnhill]

If #9 envelope is not one of your printer's built-in page sizes, then you'll
probably need to select the #10 envelope and adjust the margins to
compensate. Depending on how your printer feeds envelopes, position a #9
envelope on a #10 in the position in which it will print (that is with the
leading edge and the edge that will go against a guide aligned) and trace
around the #9. Then increase the margins on the #10 to equal the difference
in sizes plus the desired margin on the #9..

Create your own envelope template. If your printer driver does not have the
correct page size for Size #9 envelopes, then use the next size larger and
setup the margins to make up the difference in page layout. Ensure the
Envelope Return paragraph style for that template is positioned within your
printable or simply type the return address directly on the template where
you want it.

Thank you. This works for me, even though I know it's just imitating a #9
envelope by repositioning the printing.
