2.9 Feeding Envelopes Manually
Envelopes have the same setup requirements as all other media that is fed manually (see Section 2.7). 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 2.7 contains an example using escape sequences to set up your files to print in a particular area. Appendix A contains a listing of DEClaser 2100 commands and programming information for the experienced programmer. For detailed programming information necessary to set up your address files see Digital
2.9.1 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.
