-
- This is a slightly modified version of Ron Saidikowski's Envelope
- Utility which appeared in the December 27, 1988, (V7N22) issue of
- PC Magazine. It is designed for LaserJet IIP printers, which
- feed envelopes at the right-hand edge of the paper tray. My
- modifications were, therefore, only to code controlling the top
- margin of the printing format. Other program features should
- function as described in the PC Magazine article.
-
- The original utility files can be downloaded from the EXEC-PC BBS
- (1-414-789-4210), and are contained in the file V7N22.ZIP. I've
- included a copy of the original ENVELOPE.DOC file for reference.
-
- The Utility will address either No. 10 (Large) or No. 6 (Small)
- envelopes, including a return address if desired.
-
- For Large envelopes, the address field may be up to 56 characters
- wide, and for Small envelopes, up to 46 characters wide.
-
- The return address field is up to 40 characters wide.
-
-
-
- OPERATION:
-
- The Utility is TSR and is envoked by pressing Alt-E. After
- completing a letter ,etc., use the cursor arrow keys to position
- the cursor on the top left-hand corner of the recipient's name
- and address. (The menu will disappear at the first keystroke.)
- Hitting "Enter" then anchors the upper left-hand corner and
- displays a similar menu that tells you to move to the bottom
- right-hand corner of the address field. As you move the cursor,
- the field will be highlighted in reverse video.
-
- You can use up to six lines for the recipient's name and address.
-
- Once you've defined the address field, pressing "Enter" brings up
- the print menu. Press F1 to print on Small envelopes (No. 6) and
- F2 to print on Large (No. 10) envelopes. F3 toggles the Rt Add
- (return address) on or off. You can back out of this process
- before printing by hitting ESC.
-
- Once the settings are picked, place the envelope in the tray
- (face down as shown in the LaserJet IIP Manual) and press
- "Enter." The program requires feeding of the envelope. At this
- point a "MF FEED" message will normally be displayed by the
- LJIIP. Just press the "Online" button and the envelope should
- print.
-
-
- RETURN ADDRESS:
-
- Return addresses can be loaded from a separate text file. Create
- an ASCII text file containing the return address on the first
- three lines, adding a fourth line that answers the question,
- "Save new ENVL2P.COM ?" A typical file might be called
- RETADR.TXT and would look like this:
-
- Name
- Address
- City, State Zip
- N
-
- To load RETADR.TXT type in the command:
-
- ENVL2P /R < RETADR.TXT
-
- After entering a new return address (or accepting the default)
- you can save an updated copy of ENVL2P.COM in your current
- directory by typing Y at the prompt. ENVL2P.COM will install
- itself with your new return address or will update the current
- address if the program is already resident.

- CUSTOMIZING THE HOT KEYS:
-
- A. Shift Mask Values:
-
- CTRL = 04
-
- ALT = 08
-
- CTRL + L-Shift = 06
-
- B. Scan Codes:
-
- X = 2D
-
- V = 2F
-
- Z = 2C
-
- The above is a very abbreviated list of some Shift Mask values
- and Scan Codes to allow changes in the default Hot Key. The
- following is an example of how to use DEBUG to change the default
- Hot Key to CTRL-X:
-
- DEBUG ENVL2P.COM
- E 857 "CTRL-X"
- E 358 2D
- E 362 04
- W
- Q
