How to Print an Envelope in WPS Office

WPS Office is a popular alternative to traditional word processors and is widely used for creating letters, business documents, and personal correspondence. While WPS Writer does not always offer a dedicated envelope wizard like some other programs, you can still print envelopes by using its page setup options or built-in envelope tools, depending on your version.

This guide explains how to print an envelope in WPS Office, including supported sizes, step-by-step setup, printer loading, alignment tips, and solutions to common printing problems.

Does WPS Office Support Envelope Printing?

WPS Writer supports envelope printing through two main methods:

  • A built-in envelope tool (available in some versions)

  • Custom page size setup for envelopes

Both methods allow you to enter addresses, choose envelope sizes, and adjust layout for accurate printing.

Supported Envelope Sizes

Envelope TypeSize
#104.125 × 9.5 in
DL110 × 220 mm
C6114 × 162 mm
C5162 × 229 mm

If your envelope size is not listed, you can create a custom size in Page Setup.

Recommended Envelopes

For best results, use:

  • Flat, unpadded envelopes

  • Inkjet-compatible envelopes for inkjet printers

  • Laser-compatible envelopes for laser printers

  • 20–24 lb paper weight

Avoid:

  • Bubble or padded envelopes

  • Glossy or coated envelopes

  • Envelopes with thick adhesive areas

How to Load Envelopes in Your Printer

Correct loading helps prevent jams and misalignment.

  1. Turn off the printer.

  2. Open the manual feed or main paper tray.

  3. Place one envelope in the tray.

  4. Adjust the paper guides to fit snugly.

  5. Keep the envelope flat and straight.

  6. Turn the printer back on.

Always print one envelope at a time.

Envelope Orientation Guide

Orientation depends on how your printer feeds envelopes.

General tips:

  • Follow the tray diagram on your printer

  • Keep the flap out of the print path

  • Align the envelope straight

If the text prints upside down, rotate the envelope 180° and try again.

Method 1: Using the Built-In Envelope Tool (If Available)

Some versions of WPS Writer include an envelope feature.

  1. Open WPS Writer.

  2. Click the Insert tab.

  3. Look for Envelope or Mailings options.

  4. Enter the Delivery Address and Return Address.

  5. Choose the envelope size.

  6. Adjust the layout if needed.

  7. Click Print.

This method is the fastest way to print a single envelope.

Method 2: Printing Envelopes Using Page Setup

If your version does not have an envelope tool, use this method:

  1. Open a new document in WPS Writer.

  2. Go to Page Layout > Size > More Paper Sizes.

  3. Enter your envelope width and height.

  4. Set margins to small values.

  5. Click OK.

You can save this document as an envelope template for future use.
