Creating a New Message or Return Address

  1. Select anywhere within the envelope on the Run Mail screen. You can also select the Edit envelope link.
  2. Select the Text message & Return address option from the list box on the left of the Edit envelope screen.

  3. Select the New link directly under the Text message list box. Enter the message in the dialog box. If you use the on-screen keyboard to enter the text, select Close and then Save when complete.

    NOTE: the number of characters per line depends on the size of the font (see step 5). For Arial 10 point, the limit is 100 characters per line.

  4. Enter the name of the Text message when prompted and then select OK.

  5. To change the font of the text message, select Format.

    1. The font tab allows you to select the type (eg.,arial), style (bold, italic, underline), size and font color.
    2. For font color, you can select black, postal red, choose from a standard set of colors, or create a custom color.
      • Standard colors: select from a set of colors displayed as a series of color “chicklets”. Each chicklet corresponds to a particular pre-set RGB value.
      • Custom colors: Create a customized RGB color by entering color values numbers between 0 and 255 (where 0 removes all traces of the color and 255 adds the color completely) in the RGB fields.
      • Alternatively, you can drag the cross hair in the color spectrum box and slide the pointer bar up and down the saturation selection bar. As you make adjustments the corresponding RGB values are updated and displayed on the screen.
  6. To adjust the horizontal or vertical alignment of the message or return address, select the Text Block tab and select the appropriate alignment options.

  7. To remove the message/return address from the envelope, deselect it.

    NOTE: if you deselect a message, in order for the message to reappear in the list, you must select the color filter button that corresponds to the color of the message. For example, if you created the message in postal red, select the postal red filter button to redisplay all of the messages done in postal red.
