OPERATING THE ASTROJET M1
SECTION 3 – Operating the AstroJet M1
Once the Printer Driver is installed on your computer and the Printhead is primed, you are ready to start
printing. Set up your job and send it to the Printer. The Printer will start and print.
This rest of this section is divided into two parts:
1. How to set up a job to print from Microsoft Word.
2. Driver properties and the various options available when you run a job.
The Printer Driver that you installed on your computer in Section 2 should be set as the default driver. It
will then be accessible through your applications such as Microsoft Word. Other types of applications and
database management software will work in a similar manner when using this Driver. This Section further
assumes that you have set up the feed and the printer is connected to your computer.

Setting Up a Job in MS Word

When setting up a job to print in MS Word or any other
application, first determine the print area of the printer
and the paper sizes it can handle.
Maximum print area for the printer:
8.5" wide x 17" long.
Maximum paper size printer can feed:
9.5" wide x 17" long. (See diagram at right.)
Minimum paper size printer can feed:
3" wide x 4.2" long.
To set up the maximum print area for a 9.5" x 17"
document, set the paper size to 9.5" wide by 17" long in
the Custom Paper setting. Set top and bottom margins to
0" or any margin you require. Set right-hand and left hand
margins to 0.5". You can now layout the job and print the
maximum printing area.
For other page sizes such as 8.5" x 11" (standard letter) or
8.5" x 14" (legal size) set the paper size to the exact size
and set the margins as needed.
NOTE: Set the Left Hand Side Guide to the proper
9.5" position when running 9.5" wide media. Set the guide to the 8.5" position when running
8.5" or narrower media.
Envelopes: Select an envelope (example uses a
#10 envelope) from Page Setup in MS Word.
Feed the envelope by the 9.5" inch width, the
fastest way to run envelopes especially if you
are addressing them with a mail merge. Set the
top and bottom margins to 0", the left and right
margins at 0.5" as shown.
