Printer Settings for G5 Letters
When you print a letter that was merged in G5, you need to set certain printer settings in order to have the first page of each letter print on preprinted stationary, and the rest of the pages print on normal paper.
REMINDER: Run a test mailing with only 2 or 3 contacts before you run your full list. This will help you find issues with your printer setup and avoid large accidents.
- Put your preprinted stationary in one tray, and normal paper in another.
- Open the merged G5 letter and go to File→Print→Page Setup→Print tab.
- Select the tray with the preprinted stationary in First Page field.
- Select the tray with the normal paper in the Other Pages field.
- Click OK when finished.
- Print the letter.
If this still does not work, get a fresh copy of the BGM G5 Master Letter Template and recreate the letter on that template. Re-merge it and try it again. Always test on a small number of households before doing the full mailing.
If you still are unable to get it to work properly, contact software support at (801) 553-9888.
