We have a Laserwriter and a LaserJet, and would like to be able to print mailing labels on them. Does anyone have any suggestions for labels (manufacturer, stock #) and suppliers of labels that would work with these machines? Any caveats about running labels through laser printers? Thanks!

We use Avery 5360 labels; there are 3 columns of 7 labels, each 1 7/16in x 2 13/16in. Our address files look like name addr1 addr2 ... addrn name addr1 addr2 ... addrn etc. On the ALW, I find that tray feeding is not successful; the label sheets have a shiny back, and tend to slip on the rollers, losing registration so that text overprints perforations. For small numbers, manual feeding may be okay. Usually, we just make a master sheet on the ALW, then photocopy onto the label sheets. A utility program (LABELS) I wrote (yours for the asking) converts this to a multi-column file (on Unix "pr -3" could do this) which we print with the following MIC file. LPtoPS is also freely available (converts line printer files to PostScript). !======================================================================= !

Xerox makes very good single sheet self-adhesive mailing labels. They cost ~$30/box of 100 and come in 1 inch high by 2 5/6 inches wide giving 33 labels per sheet (order number 3R2362). They also come 24 per sheet where each label is 1 3/8 inch high (order number 3R2363). They also come in a few other configurations. Dan

I have found labels for use in an Imagewriter but not for use in a copier. Thanks for any information you can turn up. Please email and I'll post a summary if there is one. -- Russell Schwausch, Motorola Inc., OakHill, Tx.
