= SUMMARY =

To manually feed COM-10 envelopes on the Hewlett-Packard (HP) LaserJet III printer, do the following:


 * 1) Adjust the manual feed guides to the size of the envelope.
 * 2) Open the rear output tray; this reduces paper jams and unnecessary curling.
 * 3) Set the Print Options “feed:” field to manual and make sure that a LaserJet driver is loaded.
 * 4) Choose Format Division Margins and set the margins as listed below.
 * 5) Type in the envelope text.
 * 6) When the screen message says the document is printed, the message “PF Feed Letter” will appear on the front panel of the printer. At this point, slide the envelope through the manual feed slot. Insert the envelope face up with the stamp end first.
