Mailing via USB-stick for JET3

Create a database:

The format of the mailing file has to be a:

• Text file (suffix: „txt“)

Fields should be separated by tab, but it is not mandatory. Any other sign can be used. This
database can be modified and converted afterwards with the Leibinger software program
„JET3_MailingFileConverter“.

Create a database e.g. with Microsoft „Excel“

Example:

2. Enter the print data in Excel.

• Records unlimited
• Text may have a length of maximum 100 characters
• Field numbers (e.g.: 1: first name, 2: last name, 3: adress, 4: city etc.....)
max. field number: 255

Records limitless
