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 will cover how to layout a piece and to print from Microsoft Word.
To begin open a new page and turn on the tool bar for Mail
Merge. Under Print, select the Address Printer 6 as the default
printer. Go to Page Setu
p in the File menu. Set all of the
margins to “0”.
NOTE: The printer must be selected before you do the
setup so that the setting will be registered.
Next, select the Page S
ize tab and Custom Page. The size of
the layout should be 3-inches high for the AstroJet 2600P or 4-
inches high for the AstroJet 2800P, by the length of the piece
you are intending to print. In our example, we have selected
the width of a # 10 envelope, 9.5-inches. The orientation of the
piece is always Portrait. The effective printing area of the
ASTROJET 2600P is 3-inches by 17-inches and 4-inche by 17
inches for the ASTROJET 2800P. When you have completed
this step click OK.
The next step is to 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.
