TITLE : Printing Avery Mailing Labels on an HP Laserjet
There are a multitude of laser printers and "laser-printer ready"
mailing labels currently available. This document only addresses
the Hewlett-Packard line of laser printers and the Avery brand of
laser printer labels, since each of these is emerging as a
standard in their respective industries. Avery also offers in-
depth Technical Support for their product.
It is highly recommended that the user call the Avery "Fax Facts"
service from a telephone handset attached to a facsimile machine;
follow the automated instructions to request the Technical
Bulletin Subject Index and instructions (bulletin number AV100).
The telephone number for this service, at the time of this
writing is, (818) 584-1681.
The following examples illustrate the format and appearance of
the report specification for producing mailing labels with 5
different types of Avery laser printer labels, each identified by
stock number. The detailed dimensions of the label stock are
available from Avery's "Fax Facts" system on Technical Bulletin
number AV1016, which shows size in inches as well as in character
width and height. Briefly, however, the label dimensions are:
┌──────────────┬─────────┬─────────┬─────────┬─────────┬─────────┐

As a convention for the following examples, please note that
where blank lines appear, they should be duplicated for the
report specification being created. Blank spaces are only
required where so noted.

Margin size for these examples was optimally set, but may be
adjusted to suit the individual application. Pay close attention
to the characters used in the custom setup strings: the lower
case letter "l" appears very similar the numeral "1". It is very
important to distinguish between the two. Also, be careful to
distinguish between the upper case letter "O" and the numeral
"0".
Upper and lower case is very important in the construction of
setup strings and should be identical to that in the examples.
Other setup strings may be substituted, of course, but the
results may vary. For a general description of how to design
reports to print mailing labels, see Technical Information Sheet
number 795, Using Reports to Set Up Mailing Labels.
The vertical ruler that appears on the left side in each example
may be called up by | Control | V |.
Custom printer setup strings may be entered into the report
specification by | F10 | Setting | Setup | Custom | LPT1 | (or
whichever printer port you are using) and then entering the setup
string. Ensure that the printer default is set to use form
feeds, not line feeds.
Blank lines may be substituted where the placed fields appear,
but not vice versa.
