why won't it print envelopes?

It WILL print envelopes. They need to be manually fed through the slot behind the narrow rectangular door on the front of the printer.

Silly Guy, it DOES print envelopes ! On the front just below the name "brother" there is a flap, about 12" wide by 1" tall with a recessed handle. Pull down on that cut out / handle and the flap pulls open. The grey tabs inside on the left & right, slide in or outward to act as guides for your envelopes or any other sheet stock you wish to print on. On the very back of the copier is another flap with a more pronounced handle. Pull that flap open / down as well and when you install your envelope in the front it will print and come out the back. Got it ?

I had problems with this printer not printing envelopes. I suggest returning the product. I then purchased a Canon mx870. Love it. No problem s.

I use the top tray only for envelopes and the bottom one (which holds more paper) for regular printing. You have to program the printer by going into the paper setup for each tray. The top tray actually has a little impression of an envelope with the flap up so that you know which way to position the stack of envelopes. You will love it!

I have the same answer as LLoyd. It really does not address envelopes (no pun intended) in the user guide. I have read on other sites where some have tried envelopes and said it works but it wrinkle the envelope quite badly.

You should have no trouble using "Envelope Printer" with this printer. However, reading a few Customer Reviews on Amazon for this printer, it is no easy task setting the printer up to print envelopes. Hope this helps.

Yes, it prints envelopes. I have easily and successfully printed standard size envelopes using Word running on a Mac. Printing custom sized Christmas card envelopes, however, was a bit tricky, but I was finally able to get it to work.

It will depend on the printer speed but there is no speed rating for envelope printing.

Sorry, envelopes will not work unless you buy the $199.00 second tray with the special feeder from Lexmark.

I haven't experienced this problem with heavier stock, per se, but I have had a problem with larger envelopes, specifically 6x9, which the printer apparently doesn't recognize as envelopes, and with labels when it doesn't know they're labels. This can be avoided by opening the printer Properties to the Printing Shortcuts tab and selecting "Envelope" or "Label" as the paper type.

Remove the paper from the paper tray and adjust the plastic blue adjuster tabs to fit. My own personal method is to print one envelope at a time. But that's just me. I'm sure you'd be fine otherwise. Hope this helps.

The printer is very new to me, so I just tried 2 envelopes. While the printing was fine, both envelopes were "crinkled" at the left edge. They would be usable in the mail, but it is disappointing to see that they did not feed cleanly.

I disagree here with the other answers. I have envelopes in Tray 1 and plain paper in Tray 2, then via the web interface I tell the printer what is in each tray. I've never had to choose during a print job, it just goes to the right tray for envelopes or letter size paper. Just for full disclosure this is on a 8630 and using a Mac. YMMV** Update ** This was done via the AirPrint driver, not the HP driver. See comment below on this for details.

I have A Brother HL-4570CDW Color Laser Printer. The printer has an adjustment for printing envelopes. With the adjustments the envelopes print fine, no problem.

I just put, an, envelope into the paper tray (after I take out the paper)... get a notice the margins are thin; ignore..prints beautifully

I used this printer in April 2014 to print envelopes for wedding invitations and envelopes. Although there is a minimum size (I couldn't print the RSVP return envelopes), I had no problem configuring the printer for many non-standard sizes. I can configure the driver for any size media between the largest and smallest sizes it handles.

Looks like it only takes paper. There is no selection in the menu for envelopes.

I have used 110 lb cardstock with this printer and it prints fine with it. They recommend loading "special" paper from the back, but I've used it in the front-loading tray. As to the envelope question, there is a guide both in the front and rear. As to whether or not it's specific for envelopes, I don't know. I haven't printed envelopes yet. But the guides to adjust to accommodate envelope-sized items.
