Setting up the Computer
We recommend using the BCC software with the Astrojet II. This software comes with a print driver
specifically for the Astrojet II.
Personal Computer Software Packages
The Astrojet II can work with most software packages that can print one-up (one label at a time)
labels. Some software packages need to “know” what type of printer is being used. This must be
input into the software. Several different terms may be used to describe the Astrojet II to your
computer. Choose a printer setup that corresponds to one of the following terms: Astrojet, Mailjet,
ASCII, Generic, Vanilla, etc.
Essentially, the Astrojet II will appear as a standard computer printer to most software setups.
Most software offers options for setting up margins for printing, as well as other common features.
Some of these common features are listed below and should be set as shown:
Feature Setting
Top Margin 0
Bottom Margin 0
Right Margin 64 or less
Left Margin 0
Lines Between Labels 0
Number of Labels Across 1
Use Form Feeds Yes
Pause Between Pages No
Your software may allow the setting of some or all of these parameters. If so, it is important that
these are set up properly so that the computer will correctly format your address list for use by the
Astrojet II.
The Astrojet II has been designed to be very flexible in the way it accepts and interprets the data
sent from your software. Remember that if your software will print mailing labels, it will also address
media on the Astrojet II. Trial and error may be required to correctly set all of the parameters.
