Did ever anybody try to print on mailing labels with the Apple LaserWriter? Avery, Inc. produces paper with mailing labels for copy machines. One should be able to usey those, shouldn't one? Stephan Bechtolsheim Purdue, Statistics Department

One should > be able to usey those, shouldn't one? > > Stephan Bechtolsheim > Purdue, Statistics Department I use mailing labels all the time in my Laserwriter, the standard ones for copying machines. A couple of problems: * They sometimes go through at about a 5 degree angle from true, which is noticeable * Occasionally you'll get a double feed. If it's really important that your labels be right the first time, I suggest manual feed, which works fine. I've been a beta tester for something called "Silicon Press", which was announced at the MW Expo and is allegedly shipping next week. I find it perfect for setting up mailing labels on the Laserwriter (with a Mac, of course). Joel West CACI, Inc.

A friend of mine who has a LaserWriter uses A4 size labels (i.e. a single label that covers the entire page). He prints his labels on this and then cuts it up to get the individual labels. Hope this helps you. |~~~~~~~~| ||~~~~~~|| Another masterpiece from the MAC of John Lockwood. || Hi ! || ||______|| BBS : Sysop of "The Hole In The Wall" UK 0742-350319 (300 CCITT) | @ --= | MAIL: John E.
