printers

Hello,

I am wondering if anyone else who has created full applications in FoxPro
has come up with the dilemma of how many possible ways can an envelope be fed
through a printer.

I am the programmer of a billing software built in Visual FoxPro. I have a
feature where people can print envelopes addressed to their clients. I have
a report strategicly built so that the return address and clients address are
placed in the positions where once an envlope is fed there envelope comes out
correct. There are three different types of HP printers at the office that I
can take into account, but what about the other brands?

Is there a proceedure I can use that can give me how the specific invoice
takes in envelopes? Or do I have to figure out all possible ways an envelope
can be fed through a printer? If this is the case can someone direct me to
the correct place to look this up? I have been unsuccesful so far.

An option is to print the address on the invoice and require the use of a
standard windowed envelope. When the invoice is folded correctly the address
will show in the envelope window. That way you'll get rid of printing and
matching envelopes entirely.

Hi,

you may search in the DIN norms, DIN 676 for example (where to place
adressfields) or look into the MS-WORD .DOT files, they show the positions,
too.
