KazStamp Shortcuts

Here are some of the shortcuts available in KazStamp:

-	Use the file, edit, format, selection, and options toolbars to work with files and the clipboard quickly.

-	Click the right mouse button on the return address, destination address, or attention line in the KazStamp main window to access commands for those text fields.

-	Open one of the last six files from the bottom of the File menu.

-	Use the standard Windows copy and paste functions to quickly get an address into KazStamp.

-	Store multiple addresses in one KazStamp file, separating each address with at least one blank line.

-	Double click a KazStamp file (or a shortcut to one) in the Windows Explorer to start KazStamp and load the file automatically.

-	Right click a KazStamp file (or a shortcut to one) in the Windows Explorer and select the Open command to start KazStamp and load the file automatically.

-	Drag a text, rich text format, or KazStamp file (or a shortcut to one) from the Windows Explorer and drop it in KazStamp to load the file.

-	Drag a KazStamp file (or a shortcut to one) to the printer icon to print an envelope.

-	Right click a KazStamp fileHelp_KazStampFile (or a shortcut to one) in the Windows Explorer and select the Print  command to print an envelope.

-	Print envelopes using KazStamp from Microsoft Office applications.


Postnet Bar Code

KazStamp can automatically print a bar code on the envelope for the post office to use in routing your letter. The Postnet bar code represents the five or nine digit zip code plus delivery information (if available) of the destination address. The Postnet bar code can be printed above the destination address, at the bottom of the envelope, or disabled using the Options command.

There are several versions of a Postnet bar code for the same address, each including different delivery information. This is why Postnet bar codes generated by KazStamp do not always match those you see on mail you receive. In particular, one version of the Postnet bar code often used by bulk mailers to obtain a discounted postage price includes the carrier route number. Since route numbers are not commonly known and need to be looked up in a massive database, KazStamp does generate this version of the Postnet bar code. However, to the best of Kaczynski Software's knowledge, the barcodes generated by KazStamp meet Postal Service specifications.

For more information on Postnet bar codes, see Section C840 in the Domestic Mail Manual, available from the US Postal Service.


Return Address Graphic
Return Address Graphic Files

Printing

KazStamp can print a graphic to the left of the return address. The graphic can be a JPEG (.JPG or .JPEG file extension), bitmap (.BMP file extension), icon (.ICO file extension), or a Windows metafile (.WMF file extension). A separate graphic can be specified for each defined envelope.

A few users have reported that they cannot print graphics on their particular printer. Please see the Kaczynski Software web site for more information.

Resizing

Bitmaps (.BMP files) and metafiles (.WMF files) can be resized when defining the return address. Icons cannot be resized.

Editing

By default, the Windows Paintbrush is used to edit a graphic file. However, a different graphic editor can be specified with the Options command.


Drag and Drop

An easy way to load any text file, rich text format file, or KazStamp file into KazStamp is to drag the file (or a shortcut to it) from the Explorer or Desktop and drop it into KazStamp.

To drag and drop a file, first click on the file or a shortcut to the file in the Explorer or on the desktop. Put the cursor over the file name, hold the left mouse button down, and move the cursor over the KazStamp window or icon. Release the mouse button, and the file will be loaded into KazStamp. If you had made any changes to the file previously loaded in KazStamp, you will be asked if that file should be saved before the new one is loaded.

KazStamp Files


KazStamp Files

KazStamp can open and save plain text and rich text format files that are used by many word processors, such as Wordpad. Although any file extension can be used, KazStamp uses a default file extension of ".ENV".

The benefit of saving files with the KazStamp file extension is that they can be opened directly into KazStamp by double clicking on the file name or a shortcut to the file in the Explorer or on the desktop.

Multiple addresses can be placed in one file by separating each address with at least one blank line. Single, multiple, or all addresses from a file can be printed at once using the options in the print dialog box.

Printer Setup Instructions & Tips

KazStamp uses the standard Windows printer setup box to define settings such as envelope size, orientation, paper source, print quality, etc. These settings are saved separately for each envelope defined in KazStamp.

To define an envelope:

1)	Use the Envelope Sizes command. This command displays the Define Envelope Sizes window.

2)	Press the Add button to define a new envelope size. This button displays the Define or Rename Envelope Sizes window.

3)	Enter a description of the new envelope size. Choose the default settings for your printer from the list. If your printer is not listed, choose the first entry for generic printer settings. Press OK and the printer setup box for your printer appears.

4)	Define any printer settings needed for your printer, such as paper size, orientation, paper source, resolution, etc. At a minimum you should choose the correct paper size for your envelope. There are three ways to define the envelope dimensions, listed in the recommended order:

a)	Select a predefined envelope from your printer’s list in the printer setup box.

b)	Select "custom paper size" in the printer setup box and enter the custom envelope dimensions. Note that some printers may not support custom sized paper so this option may not be available.

c)	Select a predefined paper (probably letter sized) from your printer’s list in the printer setup box that is larger than your envelope. In Step 6 below you will tell KazStamp the true size of your envelope.

5)	When the printer setup box is complete, press the OK button to return to the Define Envelope Sizes window.

6)	Check the Printer Settings tab to review the printer settings you selected.

7)	On the Envelope Sizes tab, specify the correct envelope size. If you were able to choose your envelope size following Steps 4a or 4b above, then choose the first radio button to "use printer setup". If you chose a paper bigger than your actual envelope following Step 4c above, then choose the second radio button to "define custom envelope size" and enter the envelope dimensions.

8)	Check the Envelope Indents tab to review and adjust the positioning of the address boxes on the envelope. Changes can be made by entering values into the table or by dragging the address boxes in the sample envelope at the bottom half of the screen. If the address box "snaps back" after you try to adjust its position, use the Options command to turn off the "Enforce Margins" setting.
