- README FILE FOR NO_10ENV.ARC
-
- Template by Richard Brown
- GEnie Lamp ST Columnist
-
- No_10ENV.DOC is a PageStream 2 document providing a tested method of
- printing perfect No. 10 Envelopes on the Deskjet family of printers.
-
- Based on the type sizes used, the default template is intended mainly
- for personal letters. Use a more (boring) business-like font and size
- for business purposes.
-
- You must use "Configure Printer" under the "Global" drop-down menu to
- set the printer for appropriate page size. Instructions as to how to
- set page size as well as priming the Deskjet for envelope printing is
- included in the bleed area BELOW the main document area. Show Full
- Page to see these instructions.
-
- ** Note **
-
- The instructions box WILL NOT PRINT and can remain as is to allow
- helpful hints for others using this template.
-
- ** Mechanical Note **
-
- The Deskjet, upon loading an envelope, may wind up leaving the
- envelope slightly crooked. Lift the Deskjet's lid to see if the
- envelope is actually square to the pressure plate above it. Although
- this plate "floats" slightly, it is an accurate guage as to envelope
- alignment.
-
- If the envelope is NOT square, simple PUSH the side that protrudes
- too far forward BACK until it appears square to the pressure plate.
- At this point, print as usual (ALT P) in PageStream.
-
- * You must LOAD THE ENVELOPE using the Deskjet's "ENVELOPE" button
- PRIOR to printing for best success:
- 1. it guarantees 100% success.
- 2. it allows you to check alignment (see "Mechanical Note").
-
- ** FONTS NOTE **
-
- My font list is totally customized, with virtually NO possibility of
- having identical font numbering as exists on your system. If you have
- ANY problem loading this document, it means that you need to tidy up
- your font list using the "MANAGER" option in the FONT menu. With a
- properly set-up font list that has been saved as a DEFAULT,
- PageStream will replace my font with one of yours, or at least use
- your .12H (or other) preview mode screen font, then allowing you to
- change the font used in the document.
-
- ** USING CARDFILE **
-
- In text mode, simple ERASE the appropriate text in either text block
- ("to" or "from") and select the "minus" option of the SEND command in
- Cardfile's MAIN MENU to instantly fill the text block with the address
- of your choice.
-
- ** TESTING INFO **
-
- This file has been used for some time, and very successfully on both
- a Mega ST and TT030, printing to a Deskjet 500C, in both black ink
- and color modes.
-
- ** CAVEATS **
-
- As with all things free, this is a USE AT YOUR OWN RISK file.
- However, about the worst thing that can happen is that you'll crash
- PageStream, but this is EXTREMELY UNLIKELY.
