R01401A - Standard Mailing Labels

Use the Standard Address Labels program (R01401A) to print your address labels if you do your own mailing and use standard label paper. You can use a laser printer or a dot matrix printer as follows:

• For a laser printer, use Avery Laser Printer Labels #5260, which print in portrait and are 1" by 2 5/8".

• For a dot matrix printer, use Avery Pin Fed Labels #4062, which are 3 1/2" by 1 7/16".

  If you use a dot matrix printer, you have the option to print 10 characters per inch or 15 characters per inch. If you choose 10 characters per inch, the labels are 32-character labels. If you choose 15 characters per inch, the labels are 40-character labels.

You should test your printer with a limited number of labels (for example, four labels) before you print a full set of labels, because some dot matrix printers cannot print 15 characters per inch. If your dot matrix printer cannot do so, your printer will print one set, then skip to a new page. When you run a test, if your printer does not skip to a new page after a set of labels, then your printer can print 15 characters per inch.

All labels include name and address information and, optionally, address number, phone number, or address and phone number. Labels print in the format specified for the country. If a country is not set up in the Country Constants table (F0070), the labels print with the default country.
