= SUMMARY =

Use the following procedure to print envelopes using the envelope tray and the HP LaserJet III with Works 2.00:

  Set the page length to 8.5.   Set the page width to 11.   Set the left, right, top, and bottom margins to 0.   Set a tab at 3 inches (between 3 and 4 inches) with the Format Tabs command.   Press the ENTER key eight times and type in the address or use the Edit Insert Field command to insert from the Database.   Move the cursor to the top of the document and enter the following key sequence. Be careful to distinguish between l (lowercase L) and 1 (number one): 27&l81A   Place the cursor on the 2 in 27 and choose the Select Replace command.   Replace 27 with ^27 (the caret is formed by pressing SHIFT+6 – do not type +). This will turn the 27 into a left pointing arrow. </li>  Select Printer Setup from the Print menu and choose HP3 as the printer and LaserJet III as the model. Feed should be set to continuous. </li>  Press ENTER. </li>  Send the job to the printer (Print Print). </li></ol>

The envelopes will now feed through the LaserJet III in a continuous fashion.

Works does not directly support printing from various printer bins at this time, the above steps are a workaround to this limitations.

Microsoft has not tested with the envelope tray, and therefore, cannot guarantee proper results.
