Envelope Printing - MF8580CDw

ScottBH — Sun, 10 Nov 2013 20:54:17 GMT

I am trying to print an address on an envelope from Office 2007 to a MF8580.

I've done this operation many times over the years, but on this printer I get an error light regardless of which tray I use for the envelope.

The user manual does not cover this aspect. Any help would be appreciated.

Hi ScottBH!

I understand that you are having issues printing envelopes from the imageCLASS MF8580Cdw and I will be glad to assist you.

We recommend printing envelopes from the multipurpose tray (MP Tray). First, you will need to make sure that the MP Tray has been turned on. Please follow the steps below to turn on the MP Tray:

Press the [Select Paper/Settings] button.
Scroll down to [Paper Settings], and then press [OK].
Highlight [Multi-Purpose Tray], and then press [OK].
Highlight [On], and then press [OK].

Next, follow the steps below to set the MP Tray to print envelopes:

Press the [Select Paper/Settings] button.
Scroll down to [Paper Settings], and then press [OK].
Highlight [Multi-Purpose Tray], and then press [OK].
Scroll to [Set Details], and then press [OK].
If you are using standard No. 10 envelopes, scroll to [No. 10 (COM 10)] , and then press [OK]. If not, scroll to your envelope size, and then press [OK].
The paper type will automatically list [Envelope]. Press [OK].

Next, verify that the document on the computer is set to the correct paper size. To do so, please follow the steps below:

Click [File], and then click [Print].
Select the option for [Properties].
In the [Page Size] drop-down box, select the correct size for your envelope.
Click [Apply] or [OK] at the bottom of the window.
Click [Print].

I hope this information is helpful to you. If you need further assistance, please contact us at 1-800-OK-CANON (1-800-652-2666).

Thanks for the input. I found the problem to be which printer driver (?) was selected made all the difference. I am referring to within Word, when going to print, the option of numerous Canon printers is given. The one that automatically is selected would not print via the Envelopes/Labels option.

I may still be doing something wrong as envelope type needs to be selected (at the printer control panel) for each and every individual envelope. This is not a high production approach! Is there a way to avoid this repeated button pushing?

Thank you.

I"m having a problem with the multipurpose tray in that I can't seem to print anything from it at all. I've gone through the steps on the printer and choose multi-purpose tray in the print window and it still pulls paper from the drawer.

I'm using a Mac with OS 10.9 and am left totally scratching my head.

I noticed in the browser interface

(getting to this from the printer job status window in settings - then press button Show Printer Webpage)
AFter logging in, press "To Portal" in the top right corner
Then choose Settings/Registration
Then under Function Settings in the left menu, choose Common Settings
In the main window under Paper Drawer Auto Selection, the 2nd section for Printer there is no "multi-purpose tray option.

I would like to print 4 x 6 photos from this tray but I can't for the life of me get it to work...

Help?

John

I just purchased this printer and it will not print from the feedtray no matter what I do. I always get an error message on the printer and the computer tells me to load paper. When I load the paper, the printer tells me to select the type of paper, size, etc, which I do but still not printing.

Please help.

I purchased 2 of these printers for my office. both are great printers but neither will print from the tray like yours. I've read on other websites that this is a flaw with the printer from Canon! All you can do is print from the drawer or return them for a refund.

MOST ANNOYING PRINTER I'VE EVER USED!!!

Worst driver.

Worst menu system ...

AND definitely the WORST at printing envelopes!

I have a $149 HP that prints envelopes lke a champ! I though I was upgrading with this Canon, but boy was I wrong. Besides that fact that the Print to Fax feature has about 5 steps too many.

Ok, rant over.

Let's print some envelopes! Any time I print an envelope, it either prints TINY and sideways, or straight but misaligned.

PLEASE someone help out!

I have followed these steps, however I am still getting an error message when I attempt to print a No. 10 envelope. The error message reads: "Stopped - 'Filter' failed"

Please advise.

Thank you for posting this. This allowed us to use the Multipurpose tray. Our new printer is the first one we've had where it didn't automatically select the MP tray so we had no idea how to utilize it until I found your reply.

Exact same issues, and exact same dissapointment.

Ever see the movie "Office Space?" . . . there's a scene about this printer in it.
I'm having the same issues you are, and am convinced this printer was designed around 2001.

You know what's really funny? It tells you to "Press the START" button all the time; but, there is not a START button! 🙂

I have tried all of these options and it still will not work. How do you fix this? It does not seem to detect any paper that I put in the multi-purpose feeder. I need to print envelopes ASAP and so far everything is a "no go" with this printer. If this cannot be fixed I want a refund.

Every time I get an email about this printer I get mad, again.

I have had success printing envelopes through the multi-purpose tray (fold down door), but never through a drawer.

But lets talk about poor color and misaligned color.

I can tell you how many times I've had to reprint papers because it prints the whole page yellow, then the next page red, then the next page green. It's as if this [Removed] is cursed.

I called Canon tech support. USELESS! We went through the whole "Unplug, plug in. Calibrate [Removed] steps"

If I could throw this printer directly back to Tokyo and let it smash on their front door step, it would be worth it!

Word of advise for anyone thinking about buying this... Don't! Find another option.

(sorry to be "that guy")

You have two options. I found that if you pull the paper feeder tray out it selects the MP tray. Scoll down through the paper size options and choose the envelope size then print your envelopes. You can also hit preferences when the printing pop up come and select the MP tray.

Thankfully I don't have to worry about colors mal-alignment. Mine is only black and white.
