PIXMA G7020 how to optimize print settings for a certain sized envelope?

[DragonClaw]

I sell items on etsy I send via USPS with a pre-printed label. 

The label format is 4X6 and I do not want to print it on a thermal printer and stick it on. 

I use the back feed ramp to feed in envelopes. 

I got a new laptop and do not have access to the old presets. 

The envelope is about 5 3/4 x 4/12. With the Canon, I feed in the envelope on the side using the back ramp.

But if I use shrink to fit, it centers it and lowers it down.  

I basically want to make a default sizing/print setting in the Canon options so it prints using as much of the envelope as possible while not being far down.

Often times when I print, it is sideways, or moved too far down/left and not large enough. I have played with the settins a lot, but I do not know how to fully compensate for this. I also see there is a weird shaped border the printer cannot use. I do not know how to consider this when sizing for printing. I can't make it print as fast as it used to either. If I change the document type, it doesn't allow me to use the back ramp. 

Also, I cannot figure out what dimensions it should be and if it need to be portrait or landscape. 

What do I do? I am wasting dozens of envelopes trying to fix this.

I want to just have my defaults set,  no dragging, no nothing. I am trying to simplify the process, not make it harder.

I hope you can find a good simple fix.

A knowledge person could definitely help guide me in this. I got almost all the way there by myself before I lost the settings I had.

I don't use photoshop myself but I noticed it has a position and size field at the bottom of your screenshot. Can you make adjustments there to get it to print correctly?

[DragonClaw]

Yes,  which adjustments account for the border and the differential in size/proportions to be able to utilize the most amount of space?

This is what I found:

Yes,  I'm well aware of how to adjust an image in photoshop manually.

I just needed to figure out how to be able to set my printer the right way so it will have seamless printing and maximise the space.
