Thanks Jackie that is excellent. I am sure they will. I just said about the advertising as I was asking a price. Will make some enquiries perhaps tomorrow. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jackie Cairns" <jackie.cairnsplace@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

Hi Eleanor

Firstly, it isn't advertising, I've had this printer of mine for about six
years.  I'm sure you could get an equivalent in PC World, where I got it
from, for a lot less than I paid then. I like it simply because I can put a
ream of 500 sheets in the large drawer, and then use the smaller tray for
envelopes and labels.

Secondly, in Word, I simply type the address where the item is going to.
Then I centre it. Then I print it, that's it. The address doesn't go over
the Articles For The Blind bit, maybe more by luck than judgment, but this
has always worked for me for many years, even with my previous Brother laser
printer.

I hope this info helps.  But go down to PC World and have a look at what
they offer, and ask for a printer that has two trays in it so you have a
dedicated envelopes and labels section.


Kind Regards,

J

Jackie I am interested in your printer.  I need a new one and was asking a
question earlier re printers.  This is the very tyjpe of information I
required.  Now can you tell me is your printer one that is still readily
available and is it very expensive.  In case this is viewed as advertising
maybe you would e-mail me off list please.  Now I am unclear what you are
saying about centering for the label.  You say you go in to Word and then
you write your address and then you centre it.  Do you mean you simply
centre from the top of the jpage or further down the page.  You are saying
then that all that sender thing on the lerft side of the label is untouched
and you are not writing over anything?

Hi Roger

What printer are you using?

I've got a Samsung ML2150 laser.  It has two trays, the large drawer for
A4
paper, and a smaller one I use for envelopes and labels such as the AFB
type.  When I want to print one of the latter, I go into Word, type my
address, and centre it.  Then I put an AFB label into the smaller of the
two
printing trays, face up.  When it comes out, the text is printed on the
label in the correct place, because I can feel the print with my fingers.

On the smaller tray of the two, there are two guides for adjusting the
width
of the envelope or label size you want to insert.

I don't know if this is any help, but it's always worked for me.


Kind Regards,

J

Hi All

I have been experimenting with printing the RNIB Articles For The Blind
labels.  I wasn't aware my printer was capable of doing them before. I'm
finding it a little fiddly to get the details right. If anyone is also
printing them could they give me the settings of their machine to save the
waste of misprinting them please.

Roger
