Here are some guidelines for the number of lines that can fit on a mailing
label:
Small Label 12ptNY 4 lines
10ptNY 5 lines
Corporate Label 12ptNY 12 lines
10ptNY 16 lines
If the number of lines per label exceeds the guidelines, a double line appears
indicating that the information cannot fit on one mailing label, but will fit
on two. Once you have established an incorrect mailing label in a word
processing document, you must reconstruct your correct mailing label in a new
document. These directions are for use on the Imagewriter only, if you are
using a LaserWriter you will not have the choice of mailing labels in your Page
Set-up menu.
1. When printing mailing labels with Jazz, the ImageWriter prints a label,
drops a few spaces and then reverses itself to print the next label. This
action often catches the label and causes a paper jam. To avoid this, adjust
the platen on the ImageWriter (pg. 21 ImageWriter Manual).
2. If you are printing many labels you can choose Draft from the Page Setup
menu and the labels will not reverse itself when printing, thereby reducing the
chance of jamming.
3. When "Hotviewing" the name and address in your word processing document make
sure you don't hit the return key at the end of the last line or the cursor
will move down a line and JAZZ might think you have to many lines of text. You
will get one blank label between each good one if you have done this. To get
rid of the blank label between each good one you must start again with a new
Word Processing Document.
4. Many people forget the last step when doing mailing labels. The last step is
to go back to your database on last time and select the records you would like
to use to for labels. There are three ways to select records. The first is to
choose Select All from the Edit menu. The second is to use a query in the
database to select certain records (example- people in a certain state). The
third way to select records is by highlighting a few.
