We've found convenient ways for our Imagen 8/300 to do just about everything except generate addresses on envelopes. Lately we've been experimenting with feeding address labels through the printer, but all this recent talk about the T-shirt transfers and the evils of wax paper makes me wonder whether putting a sheet of labels through might be harmful, considering the wax paper backing which peeks out around each label. Does anybody have any experience with handling of address label sheets through the Canon engine, and/or has anybody come up with a practical solution to the problem of addressing envelopes without a typewriter? -Clive ------- [[Editor's note: I recently fed a bunch of envelopes through the manual feed of a HP LaserJet, as suggested by the HP manual. The results were only partially successful as the varying thickness of the envelope affected the print. What we do here is to mount one up gummed labels in an old daisy wheel typewriter/printer, printing them off as needed. One could probably get by with a cheaper dot matrix printer. --Rick]]
