= SUMMARY =

Some envelope settings for Microsoft Works for MS-DOS (specifically those for printing envelopes) referenced by Hewlett-Packard for use with the DeskJet 500 do not produce proper results. Chapter 9 of the HP DeskJet 500 manual offers detailed instructions on using Works version 2.0 with the DeskJet 500. According to pages 9 to 7 of the manual, the following settings should be used to print Number 10 (U.S.) and DL (European) envelopes:

Manual feed Page length: 4.25 inches Page width: 9.5 inches

The manual does not specifically state the margin settings for envelopes, but throughout Chapter 9, the manual recommends margins of 0.5 inch.

= MORE INFORMATION =

Hewlett-Packard’s recommended settings do not always work. Often, when printing an envelope with a return address, the return address appears in the middle of the left edge of the envelope rather than the upper left hand corner.

To correct the misplacement of the address blocks, adjust the margins using the Print Page Setup & Margins command.

Also, Number 10 envelopes can be fed in portrait mode on the DeskJet 500. If this is the case, you will need to use the HPDJ.PRD (portrait) printer driver.

Microsoft has not tested this configuration and therefore cannot guarantee its results.
