= SUMMARY =

Microsoft Works for MS-DOS version 2.0 does not provide direct support for printing to the Hewlett-Packard (HP) LaserJet IID, III, or IIID envelope feeders. However, it is possible to print using these feeders by inserting an escape code at the top of the document.

Works version 3.0 provides direct support for the LaserJet IID and IIID envelope feeders through HPLASER*.PRD and HP3.PRD, which are included on the shipped disks.

= MORE INFORMATION =

To allow Works 2.0 to print to the HP IID, III, or IIID envelope feeder, do the following:

  Create a new Word Processor document. From the Print menu, choose Printer Setup, and select the appropriate portrait .PRD (printer driver) file (for example, HPLASER or the .PRD that works with your cartridges). Select HP IID as the model.   At the beginning of the first line of the document, type the following. Please note the difference between a “1” (number 1) and an “l” (lowercase letter l). The last character is an uppercase letter O, not a zero. 27&l81A27&l1O   Position the cursor at the beginning of the typed line and use the Select Replace command to replace 27 with ^27 (this inserts an escape code in the document). Works will replace 27 with a left arrow symbol.   Position the text on the screen as you would like it to print on the envelope. For an envelope with no return address, do the following:   Place the cursor at the end of the code you typed and press ENTER nine times.   Set a tab at 4 inches.   Press the TAB key before each line of the address is typed. Press the ENTER key at the end of each line. Fields from an open Works database can be inserted by using the Edit Insert Field command.  </li>  From the Print menu, choose Page Setup & Margins, and set the top, bottom, left, right, header, and footer margins to 0 (zero) inches. Set the page length to 4.12 inches and page width to 9.5 inches. </li>  From the Print menu, choose Print (press ALT, P, P) or Print Form Letters (ALT, P, F) to print the envelope. </li></ol>
