OT Laser printer problem |
I have pre-printed cards that come five to a sheet and cost me either $1.00
or $2.00 per card.
The laser can't handle a single card in either landscape or portrait mode
and naturally the classes tend to have 5N - 1 people in them.
I'm getting quite a stack of singles.
I can't find the type of devices that used to be available in the dot-
matrix days to carry the single card through the printer.
Has anybody used a paper tape or sticky note to tie together a couple
document to make them fit?
If you saw my *ABSOLUTE* best printing you would know why I want to use the
laser.

Isn't there an envelope feeder or a sheet feeder on the printer?

Yes but the card is to narrow for the feeder at it narrowest and the feed
without the guide is very erratic. I'd end up tossing most of the cards.

Well, once upon a time I tried what you suggested -- taping
multiple cards together to make a full sheet. I managed to stick
together several page's worth of name tags (using quick-release
tape) and to run the pages through the laser printer without
tragedy. However, the time spent taping all the edges, squaring
the tags, and making sure I didn't leave any tape exposed to the
image drum made the process less than worthwhile. But maybe your
card blanks are expensive, in which case the effort might be
cost-effective. (I use quick-release editor's tape, by the way,
because normal, sticky scotch tape tends to grip the cards very
tightly once it has passed through the heat and squeeze of the
laser printer engine.)
Also, I have had always had success taping a single card to a
single sheet of paper, again using quick-release tape. Just make
sure the card sits very flat against the page.

I took the final job away from a lot of typewriters in the 80's when i
introduced the TSR that did Envelopes and ran with Word Perfect.
They don't like me.
