                          Microsoft Works

The following steps should be taken to successfully print envelopes on the 
Tandy LP400:

There are three steps to create a document to print single envelopes:

1.  Create an envelope document
2.  Insert database placeholders
3.  Set margins and the envelope size

TO CREATE AN ENVELOPE DOCUMENT:

1.  Create or open a Microsoft Works database.  Add the names and addreses 
    you want to print on your envelopes.

2.  From the File menu of MS-Works, choose Create New File, and then choose
    the Word Processor button.

3.  Type your return address, unless you are using pre-printed envelopes.  
    You have to press <SHIFT> <ENTER> to end each line in the address
    except the last line.

4.  Continue to press <ENTER> as many times as necessary to move the 
    insertion point down to where you want the mailing address.

    Example:  If you are using envelopes that are 5.5 inches from top to 
              bottom, you might press <ENTER> 10 times.

5.  Set a left indent to position the mailing address on the envelope.  For
    example:  3.5 inches with 9.5 inch wide envelopes.

TO INSERT DATABASE PLACEHOLDERS INTO THE ENVELOPE DOCUMENT:

1.  From the Insert menu of MS-Works Database, choose Database Field.

2.  In the Databases box, choose the database containing the names and 
    addresses you want to print on the envelope.

3.  In the Fields box, choose a field name for a placeholder.  Click on 
    "OK".  Repeat this step for each database field you want to insert as a
    placeholder.  You have to press <SHIFT> <ENTER>  to end each line.

TO SET PAGE SIZE AND MARGINS TO MATCH YOUR ENVELOPES:

1.  From the File menu of MS-Works Word Processor, choose Page Setup 
    and Margins.

2.  In the Page Length and Page Width boxes, type values to match your 
    envelope size.  Example:  For a standard 9.5" by 4.125" envelope, in
    the Page Length box type 4.125" and in the Page Width box type 9.5"

3.  In the Top Margin box type .25" and type .5" in the Left Margin box.

4.  Last, in the Printer Setup under the "File" option, click on "Setup", 
    and change the "Oientation" to Landscape from Portrait.   

PRINTER SETTINGS:

In the LP-400 printer menulist make sure that you have chosen the "COM 10 "
option in the PAPER SET MENU under te MAIN DIRECTORY.  This information 
can be found under FaxBack Document #4048.

You are now ready to print.
