    chosen the correct paper size.</desc>

  <title>Print envelopes and labels</title>

  <p>Most printers will allow you to print directly onto an envelope or sheet
  of labels. This is especially useful if you have a lot of letters to send,
  for example.</p>

    <title>Printing onto envelopes</title>

  <p>There are two things you need to check when trying to print onto an
  envelope. The first is that your printer knows what size the envelope is.
  After you click <gui>Print</gui> and the Print window appears, go to the
  <gui>Page Setup</gui> tab and choose the <gui>Paper type</gui> as "Envelope"
  if you can. If you cannot do this, see if you can change the <gui>Paper
  size</gui> to an envelope size (for example, <gui>C5</gui>). The pack of
  envelopes will say what size they are; most envelopes come in standard
  sizes.</p>

  <p>Secondly, you need to make sure that the envelopes are loaded with the
  right side up in the printer's in-tray. Check the printer's manual for this,
  or try to print a single envelope and check which side is printed on to see
  which way is the right way up.</p>

  <note style="warning">
    <p>Some printers are not designed to be able to print envelopes, especially
    some laser printers. Check your printer's manual to see if it accepts
    envelopes; otherwise, you could damage the printer by feeding an envelope
    in.</p>
