= SUMMARY =

To manually print “COM 10” envelopes on the IBM 4019 LaserPrinter (with no envelope tray) in HP mode, do the following:

  Adjust the manual feed guide to the size of the envelope.   Ensure that the IBM 4019 is in HP LaserJet emulation mode (to determine the emulation mode, press the ORIENTATION key when the printer is online; HP emulation = 2). To set the printer in HP LaserJet emulation mode, press and hold down the FONT button on the front panel when turning the printer on.   In Word 5.00, under Print Options, select an HP landscape printer driver, such as HPLASLAN, and set the “model:” field to LaserJet Series II. The “paper feed:” field should be set to manual. In Word 5.50, select an HP landscape printer driver, such as HPLASLAN, from File Printer Setup (ALT, F, R). Set the Printer Name (ALT+N) to LaserJet Series II and Paper Feed (ALT+E) to Manual.   Set the margins (see “Suggested Margin Settings” below).   Type in the envelope text.   In Word 5.50, choose Print Printer, or in Word 5.50, choose File Print (ALT, F, P). When the printer’s front panel “Status” display reads “CHECK” and the number “3” appears on the numeric LED, feed the envelope face up with the postage-stamp end in first.
