[iAuto Tutorials]How to Bulk Write Envelopes with iAuto Automatic Handwriting Machine

Embark on a journey of streamlined envelope customization with the UUNA TEK® iAuto Pen Plotter. This comprehensive guide walks you through precise typesetting, layout refinement, and efficient batch production, ensuring your envelopes showcase a perfect blend of creativity and automation. Elevate your envelope game and bring your unique designs to life effortlessly.

Part 1 - Preparing for Envelope Writing:

Ensure that you acquire envelopes with a wide-edge flap for optimal compatibility with the UUNA TEK® iAuto Pen Plotter. This design allows the paper-pressing wheels of the writing robot to efficiently press the envelope edge during the writing process.

Take into account the envelope flap when calculating the canvas size to be used. This step ensures that the machine accurately recognizes the actual envelope size, enhancing precision in typesetting.

Note that the flap of the envelope typically remains blank during typesetting; refrain from adding any text to this area.

Before inserting envelopes into the paper slot, unfold and flatten the flaps. This crucial step prevents paper jams and ensures that the paper-pressing wheels have sufficient space to press the envelope while writing.

Extend these precautions to other materials like greeting cards or paper. Leave a recommended 15-20mm blank space around the paper to allow ample room for the paper-pressing wheels during the writing process.

Be aware that envelopes with wide flaps are highly suitable for this process as follow:

Avoid utilizing envelopes with flaps less than 20mm in height or those featuring a triangular flap. This recommendation ensures optimal performance and prevents potential issues during the automated handwriting process with the UUNA TEK® iAuto Pen Plotter.

Part 2 - Crafting Envelope Contents:

Launch the software and navigate to the Table function. Adjust the canvas size to match the dimensions of the envelope. Given the earlier specifications – an envelope size of 20*10cm (excluding the unfolded flap) with a flap height of 4cm – set the canvas size to 24*14cm. This step ensures accurate representation and alignment of your content within the designated envelope space.

Furthermore, you can refine the envelope layout using the following functions:

- Font Size: Modify the text size as needed. If it appears too small, feel free to input any value for a customized size adjustment.

- Word Spacing: Fine-tune the space between individual letters to achieve the desired visual appeal.

- Line Spacing: Adjust the spacing between lines to enhance the overall layout.

- Word Space: Regulate the space between words. The system generates random gaps within predetermined maximum and minimum values, simulating the natural randomness associated with handwriting.

- Left Gap, Right Gap: Tailor the size of gaps between the left and right boundaries and the words. Similar to word spacing, these intervals are randomly generated within specified maximum and minimum values, replicating the organic variability seen in natural handwriting. These functions collectively empower you to customize and perfect the aesthetics of your envelopes with the UUNA TEK® iAuto Pen Plotter.
