[net.text] Feeding address labels through a laser printer

tjt@twitch.UUCP ( T.J.Thompson) (10/22/86)

I'm wondering about the feasibility of feeding sheets of
address labels through a laser printer.  It seems to be
easy to find continuous-form address labels, with the holes
on the sides, meant to be used on tractor feed printers.
I haven't been able to find anyplace that sells individual
sheets with labels.  Can anyone provide pointers to a source
of such paper?  Is it okay to feed such paper through a laser
printer?  Mail replies to me, and I will summarize.

I have been told about the following, which appears to be what I want:

     XEROX (Label Economy Pack)
     1000 sheets (33 labels per 8.5x11 sheet)
     Reorder number: 3R2690

I would welcome any comments about potential problems feeding
address labels through a laser printer.
