Printing from Microsoft Word
If you are not using a specific program designed for mailing applications it is possible to print your mail
pieces using Microsoft Word. This section covers how to layout a piece and to print from Microsoft Word.
To begin, open a new page and turn on the toolbar for
“Mail Merge”. Under “Print” select the Astrojet 1000P
as the default Printer. Go to Page Setup in the File menu.
Set all margins to “0”.
NOTE: The Printer must be selected before you do the
set up so that the setting will be registered.
Next, select the Page Size tab and Custom Page. Size of
the layout should be 2.5" high by the length of the piece
you intend to print on. (This example uses width of a
#10 envelope, 9.5".) Orientation of the piece is always
Portrait. Effective printing area is 2.5" by 15".
Click OK after completing this step.
Next, create a text box so that you can position the address the proper distance from the lead edge of the
piece. Once the page layout is set, you might want to save it as a template for use later.
When you have completed the steps above the layout should look like the one below.
