LETRHEAD.COM
Letterhead Generator
Technical Service Associates
Basic Information:
This program provides the ability to design and print custom
letterhead and envelopes. The system provides for an very
simple way to design a logo, etc. to be printed on the top left
side of the paper together with other address information printed
on the top right.
The logo design is simply done using a wordprocessor or notepad
facility such as Sidekick(tm). An x (or nonblank character)
represents a graphic dot on the printer. A blank represents a
space the size of a graphic dot. You design the logo using
blanks and X's on the wordprocessor, creating the logo line by
line.
Required hardware includes an Epson or IBM printer or compatible.
An IBM type of graphics display is useful. Also a pop up type of
ASCII text editor or wordprocessor such as SideKick(tm) is very
helpful.
Program Functions:
1. Display the logo on an IBM graphics screen. - This gives
an indication of how the logo will appear when printed.
The output from the wordprocessor file is converted to
graphics and displayed on the IBM type graphics monitor.
2. Print the letterhead. - This option will print the logo
on the top left of the paper. If an address is provided
on the appropriate file, it will be printed on the top
right of the paper.
3. Print Envelope - This prints an envelope with the logo on
the top left and the senders address below in very small
type, if desired. Additionally, the mailing address is
requested from the keyboard and will be printed on the
envelope.
4. Display documentation. - This is a detailed description of
how to get started.
5. Change program default settings. - This option allows the
standard program defaults to be changed. Standard
filenames , number of letterhead copies to be printed,
printer address, etc. may be modified.
Files:
1. The output from the your wordprocessor (the ASCII file of
X's and blanks) is saved with an extension of .PTN. The
default name is LETRHEAD.PTN, but may be modified to
anything.PTN as needed using option 5 on the main menu.
This is the only required file.
2. An optional file with an extension of .ADR contains the
address to be printed on the top right of the letterhead.
This also may be created with a wordprocessor. The
LETRHEAD page 2
default filename is LETRHEAD.ADR but may be changed to
anything.ADR using option 5 of the main menu.
3. An optional file with the extension of .ENV contains the
address to be printed below the logo on the envelope. This
is usually a partial address containing the street address
and city/state. The default file name is LETRHEAD.ENV but
may be changed to anything.ENV again using option 5 on the
main menu. Your wordprocessor may be used to create this
file as well.
Note: When creating the ADR and ENV files, experiment with
spacing to achieve the desired effect. Adding blank lines or
leading blanks before the address information will move the
addresses around a bit.
Getting Started:
1. Load the program LETRHEAD.COM.
2. Try the various options using the sample logo provided on
the included files.
3. Do your own designs.
