2.10 Feeding Envelopes Manually
Envelopes have the same setup requirements as all other media that are fed
manually (see Section 2.9). Since you need to print addresses in a particular
area on envelopes, you must give the printer the proper print coordinates
to print the addresses. Normally the setup requirements for printing
envelopes are defined by the application program you are using. Consult
your application program documentation for details about its envelope
printing feature.
If your application program does not have an envelope printing feature,
you need to set up your address files using commands (escape sequences)
that instruct the printer to print in the right location on the envelope.
Section 2.9 contains an example of using escape sequences to print in a
certain area on the page. Appendix A contains a listing of DEClaser 2200
plus printer commands and programming information for the experienced
programmer. For detailed programming information to set up your
address files, see the Digital ANSI-Compliant Printing Protocol Level 3
Programming Reference Manual and the Digital ANSI-Compliant Printing
Protocol Level 3 Programming Supplement.
2.10.1 Feeding Envelopes
You should observe some special cautions before feeding envelopes into the
printer. Make the following checks before you manually feed envelopes:
• The sealing flap should run along the length of the envelope, not at the
leading or trailing edges.
• Be sure the sealing flap is folded properly with none of the glue exposed.
• The leading and trailing edges should not be more than two layers thick.
• The envelope should be folded without any wrinkles or creases.
Specifications for printing envelopes are listed in Section 5.2.
