1.0 Overview

Winvelope is a utility program that simplifies the 
printing of envelopes from the Windows environment.  
Winvelope accomplishes this task in just a few quick 
keystrokes and adds a host of convenient features in 
the process.  Now instead of having to re-type the 
address, the user can copy it from a Windows document 
via the Clipboard and paste it directly to an envelope.  

Winvelope can be loaded and minimized to an icon when 
starting Windows so that it is always just a "mouse 
click" away.  A handy direct access to Windows Cardfile 
is also included for storing and retrieving frequently 
used addresses.

Features:

*	Windows Copy n' Paste support for importing 
	addresses from 	any document via the Clipboard.

* 	Automatically prints in landscape orientation 
	for most printers that require it. 

*	Create and save any size envelope files.

*	Maintain as many return address files as needed.

*	Use a bitmap (.BMP) graphic file as the return 
	address.

*	Fully adjustable print positions.

*	Support for Windows installed printer fonts and 
	attributes.

*	Prints 5 digit and 9 digiit (ZIP+4) POSTNET bar 
	codes.

*	User friendly interface with generouse use of 
	quick action icon buttons for most commands.


2.0 System Requirements

Winvelope requires the following minimum hardware/software 
configuration:

*	Computer with a 286 or greater CPU.

*	Windows 3.x software installed in either 
	"standard" or "386" mode.

*	Windows CARDFILE.EXE installed in the Windows 
	subdirectory.

*	Printer supported by Windows and capable of 
	feeding envelopes.


3.0 Configuring Winvelope

To configure Winvelope for your printer choose Printing 
Defaults from the Options menu and make selections for the 
following settings:

3.1 Default Print Orientation

Select whether your printer prints envelopes in the portrait 
or landscape orientation.  After this selection is made and 
saved, Winvelope will automatically print the envelope in the 
correct orientation for most printers without having to access 
Printer Setup.  If landscape orientation is chosen, Winvelope 
will return the printer to portrait mode after the envelope 
is printed.  Some printers and/or printer drivers including 
Canon and Atech Publisher's Powerpak do not support this 
feature.  If you are using a non-HP compatible laser printer 
and find that selection of landscape here does not change the 
orientation at print time, you will need to use the Winvelope 
Printer Setup button to change orientation before printing.

3.2 Default Paper Bin Selection

This option, also found in the Printing Defaults dialog, is 
primarily for laser printers.  This setting will control 
which paper source will be accessed when the print job is 
sent to the printer.  This setting is particularly important 
to Hewlett Packard IIP, IIIP, and other similar type laser 
printers which will not feed an envelope from the manual 
feed tray when the lower paper cassette is installed without 
a direct call from the software.  Owners of these printers 
will want to select BIN 0 (UPPER TRAY), or BIN 2 
(MANUAL FEED), if the lower paper cassette is installed.  
This will allow you to have the lower cassette as the 
primary paper source and Winvelope will print the envelope 
from the upper tray.  

Owners of other types of laser printers may use this setting 
to choose whether or not a manual feed prompt is desired 
when Winvelope prints an envelope.  This may be desirable 
if the printer is located a distance from the user or if the 
printer is being shared and there is potential for someone 
else's printjob ending up on your envelope!  A little trial 
and error may be necessary here to get the desired effect, 
as a particular BIN number may produce different effects on 
different brands and models of printers.  If you opt for 
manual feed, it is suggested that you select a BIN number 
that prompts for MANUAL FEED LETTER not MANUAL FEED COM10.

The following chart shows the paper bin number assignments 
for some popular laser printers:

PRINTER MODEL	Bin 0	Bin 1	Bin 2	Bin 3

HP II		Upper	Manual	COM10	N/A

HP IID		Upper   Lower	Manual

HP IIIP		Upper	Lower	Manual	

EPL6000		Upper	Lower	Manual	

Laserline6	Upper	Manual	N/A			
	
If after installing Winvelope you find the envelope won't 
feed or the address prints on a page from the wrong paper 
source, try different BIN settings until the desired effect 
is obtained.

4.0 Creating, Saving, and Using Envelope Files

Winvelope comes with (4) four standard envelope files 
already created.  These include Business (#10), 
Executive (#9), Monarch (#7-3/4), and Catalog (6x9 inch).  
These envelope files have pre-set print margins for 'center 
feed' HP Series II, III type laser printers.  The print 
margins will need to be adjusted for 'side feed' HP IIP, 
IIIP type printers.  Print margins may be adjusted for any 
envelope file to suit the user.

4.1 Using Supplied Envelope Files

To use one of the four supplied envelope files, click on 
the corresponding icon button along the left edge of the 
screen.  Selections may also be made by choosing Open 
Envelope under the File menu.  The Winvelope window caption 
at the top of the screen will display the currently active 
enveleope file as 'Winvelope -> FILENAME.ENV'.  As you make 
choices of return address printing, font selections, bar 
code printing, etc., these preferences will automatically 
be saved to the corresponding envelope file.

4.2 Creating New Envelope Files

To create a new envelope file, choose New Envelope under 
the File menu.  Next, enter values for the top and left 
margins for the Return Address, Addressee, Message, FIM code, 
and POSTNET bar code.  Save the envelope using a descriptive 
filename that can be easily recognized.  Envelope files use 
the filename extender '.ENV'.  Later, as you select return 
address files, choose fonts, enable bar code printing, etc., 
these preferences will be automatically saved to the 
corresponding envelope files.  Envelope files that you have 
created and saved may be recalled by choosing Open Envelope 
under the File menu or by clicking the [?] icon button at the 
bottom left of the screen.

5.0 Creating, Saving and Using Return Address Files

A return address may be printed if desired.  To create a 
return address file, choose Create New Return Address under 
the File menu.  Enter the return address text as you wish 
it to appear on the envelope and save using a descriptive 
filename that can be recognized later.  You can create and 
save as many return address files as needed.  After one or 
more return address files have been stored, you can select, 
enable, or disable return address printing as desired by 
clicking the appropriate icon button.

6.0 Using a Bitmap (.BMP) Logo for the Return Address

This feature does not support Postscript printing.

To print a graphic logo as a return address, choose Select 
Graphic Logo under the Options menu and select a .BMP file.  
Click on the icon button representing an envelope with a 
logo and the selected graphic will print as the return 
address.  Print position is controlled by the margin 
settings for the return address.  The screen image of the 
graphic is not to scale and the actual print scale will 
depend on the pixel size of the bitmap file.  A printed 
graphic requires 300 pixels per printed inch.  If you wish 
to print a graphic 2" x 1", the BMP image should be 
600 x 100 pixels.  Use a program such as Paintbrush and set 
the image attributes to pixel units and size as described 
above.  Use all of the work area to create or edit your 
image.  If you wish to incorporate a return address with 
the logo, use the text tools of the paint program to create 
this text.  Save the image as a monochrome (saves disk 
space) .BMP file.  


7.0 Addressing the Envelope

7.1 Methods for Addressing the Envelope

With Winvelope, there are three methods for addressing an 
envelope:

	1.	Capture an address from your Windows 
		document by copying it to the Windows 
		Clipboard.  Activate Winvelope and use the 
		PASTE ADDRESS button to paste the address 
		on the envelope.	

	2.	From Winvelope, activate the CARDFILE button 
		which will launch Windows Cardfile and the 
		file ADBOOK41.CRD.  You may store and 
		retrieve frequently used addresses here as a 
		permanent address book.  Copy a selected 
		address to the Clipboard and PASTE as in 
		method 1.  To use alternate Cardfile files 
		as the address book, choose Set Default 
		Cardfile Data File from the Options menu.  
		You may want to create several address book 
		files for private and business addresses or 
		Christmas card lists, etc.  Refer to the 
		Windows manual for more information on the 
		use of Cardfile.

	3.	From Winvelope, type an address directly onto 
		the envelope addressee text box.

7.2 Printing a Message Line 

If you wish, you may select a message such as VIA AIRMAIL, 
from the listbox shown in the lower left corner of the 
Winvelope screen for printing along with the address.  You 
may also type a message directly into the listbox or modify 
the listbox to include your own custom message by choosing 
Edit Message Text List from the Options menu.  Scroll to the 
bottom of the listbox edit dialog and enter as many message 
lines as desired.

8.0 Font Selection

8.1 Choosing Fonts

Printer fonts installed in Windows are available for 
selection when printing envelopes.  Individual selections can 
be made for the return address, addressee, and message text 
by choosing Fonts under the Text menu or clicking the 'Fonts' 
button and accessing the font menu dialog box.  Every time 
you change a font or attribute setting, the new value is 
saved with the corresponding envelope file to the WNVEL41.INI 
file in the Windows subdirectory.  When you switch between 
different size envelopes, your last settings used for each 
will be retrieved from this file.  If Winvelope cannot find 
a matching Windows screen font for the printer font chosen, 
a substitution of the HELV screen font will be made for 
display purposes.  The printer however will print the correct 
font.

8.2 Changing Font Attributes

Bold and/or italic type and font sizes for the return address, 
addressee, and message text  may be selected from the Font 
dialog box.  Fonts may be sized between 6 and 28 pt. Changes 
in font size will be portrayed in the font dialog sample text 
boxe and on the Winvelope screen, but fonts sized 18-28 pt. 
will display as 18 pt.  in order to conserve screen space.

8.3 Converting Addressee Text to All Caps

Winvelope allows you to convert a pasted-in address to all caps 
by making the selection in the Text menu.  If you change this 
setting after you have pasted the address you will have to 
CLEAR and re-PASTE the address to see the results.


9.0 Printing POSTNET Bar Codes

POSTNET barcodes and the FIM-A code may be printed if 
desired by making the selections in the Options menu or 
clicking the appropriate icon button.  Print position 
adjustment is made in the Print Margin routine under the 
File menu.  

The FIM code, (5 vertical lines) only prints with ZIP+4 
(9 digit) zip codes.  The FIM-A code indicates to postal 
scanning equipment that the piece of mail contains a ZIP+4 
zipcode and should be sorted for Courtesy Reply Mail.  The 
FIM code should be approximately 2" from the right edge of 
the envelope and as close to the top edge as possible.  
  
The beginning of the POSTNET barcode can be no more than 4 
inches from the right edge of the envelope and approximately 
1/4 inch from the bottom edge.  See On-Screen Help for a 
diagram of barcode location.


10.0 Adjusting Print Margins

Winvelope has a very flexible adjustment for address print 
positions.  Adjustment down to a tenth of an inch can be made 
to the top and left print margins for all printable items.  
These adjustments are made by accessing the Print Margins 
under the File menu.    You may find it beneficial to print 
to an 8-1/2" x 11" sheet of paper first and then measure 
approximately how far margins need to be adjusted to hit the 
envelope.  Margins are measured from the extent of the 
printer's print range rather than from the edge of the 
envelope.  The exception to this is if the user selects a 
paper bin that prompts for a COM 10 envelope.  The margins 
will then be measured from the edge of the envelope.

10.2 Table of Suggested Print Margin Settings

Suggested margin values for HP II/III style, (center feed), 
and HP IIP/IIIP style, (side feed), laser printers are shown 
below:

Center feed 	  Ret    Address  Message    FIM    Bar code
(HP II/III)	 T   L	  T   L	   T   L    T	L    T	 L
Business (#10)	2.2 1.6	 3.8 6.0  5.0 2.2  2.0 8.3  5.7	6.9
Executive (#9)	2.4 2.4	 3.8 6.5  4.8 3.0  2.2 8.3  5.4	6.9
Monarch (#7)	2.4 4.6	 3.8 7.5  4.8 5.0  2.2 8.3  5.4	6.9
Catalog (6x9)	1.5 2.3	 3.8 5.8  6.0 3.0  1.1 8.3  6.5	6.9

Side feed	
(HP IIP/IIIP)	
Business (#10)	0.1 1.7	 1.6 6.0  3.0 2.2  0.0 8.3  3.5	6.8
Executive (#9)	0.1 2.4	 1.6 6.0  2.8 3.0  0.0 8.3  3.2	6.8
Monarch (#7)	0.1 4.7	 1.6 7.3  2.6 5.0  0.0 8.3  3.1	6.8
Catalog (6x9)	0.2 1.7	 2.8 5.5  5.2 2.0  0.0 8.3  5.8	6.8	

Important!
These values are valid only if you are using a paper bin 
selection that causes an uninterrupted print or causes the 
laser printer to prompt for MANUAL FEED LETTER.  When using 
a bin number that prompts for FEED COM10, most laser printers 
will expect the margin to be measured from the edge of the 
envelope instead of the maximum print range.

12.0 Trouble Shooting

Problem:	Winvelope doesn't print in landscape mode.

Solutions: 	Make sure landscape is selected in Printing 
		Defaults under Winvelope's Option menu.
				
		You may have a printer and/or printer driver 
		that does not support this feature.  The 
		current variety of Canon and Publisher's 
		Powerpak drivers are known not to support 
		Auto-landscape.  If you have one of these, 
		you will need to use the 'Printer Setup' 
		button that will allow you to switch to
		landscape and/or change paper trays manually.  

		HP Deskjet users will need to activate the 
		Winvelope 'Printer Setup' button in order to 
		select ENVELOPE as the paper size prior to 
		printing.

Problem:	Winvelope gives "File not found" error message
		during various operations.

Solution:	Make sure that the subdirectory containing the
		Winvelope files is listed as the 'Working
		Directory' in Windows Program Mgr. File 
		Properties dialog.

Problem:	Winvelope does not print the barcode when 
		selected.

Solution:	Winvelope searches the last line of the 
		address for the zipcode.  The last line of 
		the address should be CITY, ST  ZIP, or the 
		zipcode should be on the last line by itself.
	
		The FIM code (5 verticle lines) does not print 
		with 5 digit zipcodes.

Problem:	Winvelope gives error message and won't load.

Solution:	Make sure the VBRUN100.DLL file supplied on 
		the Winvelope program diskette is located in 
		the Windows subdirectory.   

		If all else fails, erase the WNVEL41.INI file 
		in the Windows subdirectory and re-install 
		Winvelope.
