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.
