Brief Summary
──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
If you are a Public BBS Sysop or Computer User Group Librarian, you may
distribute unregistered evaluation versions of TaxWare software, as long
as you keep all files together, and destroy old versions when new versions
are available.
If you are a For-Profit Disk Vendor, you may go ahead and place TaxWare
software into your distribution channels. If you have not been approved
by the ASP, please read the following distribution requirements carefully.
We want to help you make sure that your customers understand that they're

Mail Machine is the most flexible envelope and label printing software
system ever developed for use with HP LaserJet and 100% compatible laser
printers. Mail Machine's features include the following.
...can print envelopes and labels of any size acceptable by your
LaserJet up to 8-1/2 x 14 inches. Support for most standard size
envelopes and labels is included in the program. Mail Machine also
allows user-defined labels and envelopes.
...supports both TO and FROM addresses on envelopes. Either or both of
the addresses can be entered manually, or either address can be
retrieved (imported) from a data file created by a database, spread-
sheet, text editor, or other application. See DATA IMPORT below. Each
address allows six lines of address information.
...supports six lines of address information on each label. Label
addresses are optional and can be entered manually, or they can be
retrieved from text files, the same as with envelopes.
...gives you the option of automatically printing the United States
Postal Service PostNet barcode in the correct position on your envelopes
and labels. This option is not supported by the original LaserJet
printer.
...allows you to retrieve and print data from ASCII text files created
by databases, spreadsheets, text editors, mail list managers, and all
other applications that can create (export) ASCII text files. The data
does not necessarily need to be addresses or mailing lists - it can be
other names, numbers, prices, bar codes, and so on. WordPerfect 4.2
format files, and comma-delimited ASCII files are also supported.
...allows optional verification of each address (record) retrieved from
an ASCII text file prior to printing the envelope or label.
...allows any number of miscellaneous messages. In addition to printing
addresses, you can optionally specify any number of original messages or
comments. Such messages can be printed anywhere on the envelopes or
labels, using any available fonts. Examples are DO NOT BEND, AIR MAIL,
HAPPY HOLIDAYS, OPEN IMMEDIATELY, and so on.
...supports all internal fonts (fonts built-in to your printer), plug-in
cartridge fonts, all HP-format bitmap fonts (soft fonts), and fonts from
most third-party font vendors. Check with your vendor for compatibili-
ty. You can print envelopes and labels with any combination of
available fonts. Support for several popular font cartridges is
included; support for additional cartridge fonts can be easily added.
Type Director software can automatically install soft fonts into Mail
Machine. Optional auto-download and management of soft fonts and
printer memory are integral features. Soft fonts are not supported by
the original LaserJet printer.
...supports PCL and most black-and-white and 2-color PCX (PC Paintbrush)
graphics files. The number of graphics you can print on each envelope
or label is limited only by your printer. Graphics are not supported by
the original LaserJet printer.
...supports up to three parallel printers (LPT1, LPT2, and LPT3). You
can print envelopes and labels simultaneously on up to three printers.
...allows 1 to 99 copies of each envelope or sheet of labels, and up to
1000 copies of each individual label.
...allows you to organize printing into repeatable "jobs." Before you
print, you select the envelope (or label), the fonts, the printer and
other items necessary to print. This information is "remembered" as a
"job." So, the next time you need to print the same (or similar) job,
the information is still there. You can print a job over and over again
without having to remember how you set things up the last time you
printed your envelopes or labels. The required elements of the jobs you
setup are 1) the form (envelope or label), 2) the printer (LPT1, LPT2 or
LPT3), and 3) the source of the information to be printed (manual data
entry or data files created by another program). Some of the optional
job elements are fonts, graphics, fixed-text messages and number of
copies.
...allows you proceed directly to the screen where you can immediately
enter the data to be printed on your envelopes or labels. This means
that once you have setup a job, you can start the program by providing
additional information on the DOS command line, bypassing the first
three screens so you can enter data and print without delay. This
feature can be very time saving, especially when done from within a
batch file.
