Technical information

If you print many envelopes: You can obtain an envelope cassette from an
Apple-authorized dealer that allows you to feed up to 75 envelopes
automatically.
For best results when printing envelopes, be sure to position your address
block properly in your word-processing document. You’ll need to print in
landscape (horizontal) orientation and to adjust the top and left margins with
your word-processing program’s page formatting controls.
Once you’ve set the top and left margins, type the return address, skip a few
lines (the exact number depends on the font you’re using and the way you
like your envelopes to look, so you’ll have to experiment), and type the
address block.
