CONFIGURING DJLOPE OPTIONS

Use these guidelines to configure the DJLOPE program.

...................

For best results, begin by selecting the orientation icon on this menu. The icons represent (from left to right) 1) Landscape feed in the center of the printer, 2) Landscape feed along the right edge of the printer, and 3) portrait feed.

Read and follow your printer's instructions in determining how your printer loads and feeds envelopes. Some printers will feed face down (DeskJets), some face up (LaserJets).

Second, if your printer feeds envelopes in landscape mode, select envelope size from the drop down list box. This will set appropriate margin settings for printing envelopes with DJLOPE. Most of the time, these default settings will work perfectly for you However, the settings selected may be changed individually to suit the user.

THE RETURN ADDRESS

The font selected for the Return Address appears in the Font window. To change the font, click on "Change Font". The font dialog box will appear (this process may seem slow if you have a large number of fonts installed on your system), and you can select the font, style, and size you wish. Click on OK to activate the new font selection.

To change type size for the Return Address, click on the down arrow to the right of the Type Size selection box and select a new size, or select the type size showing in the selection box, and type in a new value. Normally, the Return Address looks best if it is in the range of 8-11 points.

"From Right" and "Top Margin" refer to printing margins on the envelope. All measurements are from the top edge of the envelope and the RIGHT edge (not left) of the envelope in inches. Default measurements are appropriate for a #10 business envelope. If you want to use envelopes in other sizes, change the From Right and Top Margin settings to suit. Enter decimal amounts as appropriate.

To omit the Return Address, click on the check box marked "Omit Return Address." The text in the Return Address window will gray out, further indicating that the Return Address will not print on the envelope.

The large text box is for the Return Address. Type in your selection for a Return Address as you want it to appear on the envelope. Press [ENTER] at the end of each line.

THE POSTNET BAR CODE

To print the PostNet barcode and Facing Identification Mark (FIM, the five vertical bars at the top edge of the envelope) on each envelope, select "Print on Envelope".

To omit the PostNet bar code and FIM, select "Do Not Print".

DJLOPE for Windows scans each address as you print it. If the last line of the address ends in five digits (00000) or nine digits separated by a hyphen (00000-0000) DJLOPE will create a USPS PostNet barcode.

SELECTING ENVELOPE FEED

The three graphics depict the style of envelope feed available on various models of printers. Click on the left icon if your printer loads envelopes centered in landscape orientation. Click on the middle icon if your printer loads envelopes along the right guide in landscape orientation. Click the right icon if the printer loads envelopes in portrait orientation. Follow your printer's instructions regarding whether the envelope should be face up or face down. You may need to experiment with which end feeds into the printer. Normally, envelopes should be fed into the printer stamp-end first.

SELECT ADDRESSEE OPTIONS

To change the "From Right" and "Top Margin" values for various sizes of envelopes, either select the value and type in a new value or click on the down arrow to the right of each value to select from the list presented. Enter decimal amounts as appropriate.

The Type Size for the Addressee is changed by selecting the value and typing in a new value, or selecting from the drop down list supplied. Very large sizes may not display properly on the screen but should print predictably on the envelope.

To change the Addressee Font (which is completely independent from the Return Address font) click on "Change Font". From the dialog box displayed, select any font, style and size, the press OK to activate the new font selection.
