SECTION 3
OPERATING THE PRINTER
16
NOTE: When setting up a layout for the Astrojet 1000P, be aware that the Printheads are aligned in
two banks and these banks face each other.
Minimum distance between
Printheads 1, 2, and 3 and
Printheads 4 and 5 is 1-5/16".
In effect, this permits you to
print the return address on
Heads 4 and 5 with an indicia
and the variable address on
Heads 1, 2, and 3. When
printing in this manner it is a
good idea to use the “Overlay”
feature for the fixed
information. The actual head
layout on a #10 envelope
appears at right.
Click Tools, then Mail Merge. “Mail Merge
Helper” window opens. Click Create, then
Envelopes. “Microsoft Word” window opens.
Click the Active Window button, then click the
Get Data button. Next, click Open data source.
Locate the data file you intend to use. This example
uses a Microsoft Excel file. Select the file and the
“Microsoft Excel” window opens. Select the entire
spreadsheet and click OK.
Next, click Edit Main Document then click Close.
Use the Mail Merge toolbar and click
“Insert Merge Field” and begin to build the
layout by inserting the address fields.
When you finish setting up
layout, click Mail Merge
icon on toolbar and
“Merge” window opens.
In the Merge to menu are
several choices for where
and how data is exported.
The two that concern us are
“New Document” and
“Printer”. If you choose
“New Document”, the
merge is created in your
word application with a
separate record for each address. If you choose “Printer”, the merge is sent directly to the Printer and each
record is printed.
