It +includes printing of barcodes and address formatting according to +the US Postal Service rules. + +The standard makelabels command in the LaTeXe letter.cls +document class typesets labels on Avery 5352 sheets. A typical user +may want more. EnvLab redefines makelabels in (hopefully}) +a more useful and customizable way. EnvLab: + - Typesets mailing labels or envelopes on a number of pre-defined +label sheets or envelopes. + - Can be easily configured for any customized label or envelope +sizes. The rule of thumb is: if you printer can print this, EnvLab can +typeset this. + - Can optionally print barcodes and/or process addresses according to +the United States Postal Service Rules. + - Allows you to include your logo in the return address. + - Painlessly interacts with mail merging packages such as mailing. + - Does not require special fonts for address and barcodes printing. +The typesetting is implemented with standard fonts and LaTeX \rule +commands. + +This package was written with US mailing standards in mind. This is +not a reflection of the author's americanocentrism: US standard was +only one I had official documents about. If you want to add your +national standards, please contact me with pointers to the +corresponding documents. + +The distribution of this package includes the following files: + - envlab.dtx---fully documented program + - envlab.ins---DocStrip instruction module + - elold.ins---DocStrip instruction module for older versions of +DocStrip + - elguide.tex---User Guide + - readme.version_number---Read Me file + +To install the package + - LaTeX the file envlab.ins. It will produce three files: envlab.drv, +envlab.sty and envlab.cfg. NOTE: If your version of DocStrip is older +than 2.3, use elold.ins instead of envlab.ins. + - (Optional) Look at the file envlab.cfg and change it accordingly to +your taste. + - Move the files envlab.sty and envlab.cfg to the LaTeX search +path. NOTE: users of kpathsea based TeX (like teTeX) should also issue +texhash to update the search database. + - Produce the documentation by LaTeX ing the files elguide.tex and +(optional) envlab.drv. + - Enjoy! + +---------------------------------------------------------------------- +What's new in version 1.2 + + - Bug fixes. The package is now compatible with amsmath. + - New media type: big labels. They are typeset like labels, but carry +both shipping and return addresses. + - New commands to control the automatic generation of mailing labels. + - New commands to change the media type for mailing labels in the +middle of the document. + - New PostScript code for selecting the paper trays (thanks to EnvLab +users). + - Enhancements to the letter environment for typesetting the subject +information. + - Documentation update. + + +---------------------------------------------------------------------- +What's new in version 1.1 + + - Bug fixes, including correcting the nasty typos in default options & +elold.ins. + - New options controlling the printing of return addresses. + - \AtBeginLabels now behaves like \AtBeginDocument and \AtBeginDvi: the +changes are cumulative. + - New hook \AtBeginLabelPage. + - New command and options controlling switching the printer to manual feed +mode while printing envelopes and labels (thanks to William Slough, Eastern +Illinois University). + - New command \FirstLabels controlling offsets for the labels. |
