= SUMMARY =

To print envelopes on a Hewlett-Packard (HP) LaserJet or LaserJet Series II from Microsoft Works for MS-DOS version 1.0, 1.05, or 2.0, use the following steps:

  From the Print menu, choose Select Text Printer (versions 1.x) or Printer Setup (version 2.0), and select a landscape printer driver, such as HPLASLAN.PRD. Set “feed:” (1.x) or “Page feed:” (2.0) to Manual.   From the Print menu, choose Print Layout (1.x) or Page Setup and Margins (2.0), and enter the appropriate margin settings. To print envelopes WITHOUT a return address, use the following settings (in inches): HP LaserJet HP LaserJet Series II ———– ——————— Top: 6.25 Top: 4.2 Bottom: 0 Bottom: 0 Left: 5.25 Left: 5.25 Right: 0 Right: 0 Page Length: 8.5 Page Length: 8.5 Page Width: 11 Page Width: 11 To print envelopes WITH a return address, use the following settings (in inches): HP LaserJet HP LaserJet Series II ———– ——————— Top: 4.5 Top: 2.25 Bottom: 0 Bottom: 0 Left: 1.5 Left: 1.5 Right: 0 Right: 0 Page Length: 8.5 Page Length: 8.5 Page Width: 11 Page Width: 11   Type the return address (if you are using one), then press the ENTER key seven times. From the Format menu, choose Tab, and set a tab to specify the starting point(s) for each line of the receiver’s address. For the HP LaserJet, set the tab at 5 inches. For the HP LaserJet Series II, set the tab at 3.5 inches.   Type each line of the receiver’s address after pressing the TAB key to move the cursor to the tab setting. After entering the receiver’s address, use the Print command to print the envelope. 

Note: You can change the Top, Bottom, Left, and Right settings to change the placement of the return address and the receiver’s address; however, the Page Length and Page Width settings should not be changed.
