	Check the name of the file. If it is a long file name or has characters like commas, quotes, periods, spaces underscores, the software is unable to handle it. Shorten the name of your file to no more than 8 characters. Also check the path of the file. It may be buried in a deep directory somewhere. Path the file to a more simple directory.

	Odds are that the software is loading the wrong fonts or using the wrong windows driver. Make sure the "DEFAULT" windows driver is the correct one for your printer. If it is a laser printer you can try loading a generic HPIIISi driver from the Win95/Win98 CD and this should correct most of the laser problems.

	If the fonts are the problem, go to Windows Start/Settings/Control Panel/Fonts and then go to file/install new fonts. Change the drive letter in the "DRIVES" box to point to the MAILERS+4 CD-ROM. Double click on the "FONTS" folder in the "FOLDERS" box, lower left hand corner. You will now see the individual fonts appear in the fonts window. Click on the "SELECT ALL" button and then click the "OK" button. This will reinstall our fonts.

Once Address Check has verified your list, click on the CASS (Form 3553) button from the Address Check Results screen or select Cass Form from the Address Check sub-menu of the list menu on the main menu screen and print.

The next form you need is the USPS Qualification Reports. These reports contain tray numbers, package types, 5-Digit ZIP Codes, 3-Digit ZIP Codes and totals for each classification. Print this report by choosing Results from the presort sub-menu of the list menu, clicking on next twice, and selecting Qualification Report then Print.

Note: You must print out a Qualification Report for each mailing you qualify for.

The last report you will need is the Postage Statement. This report is accessed from the same Presort Results screen as the USPS Qualification report.

To combine all your mailings onto one statement simply highlight all the mailings you qualified for and then Print.
