PURPOSE: To run off fully addressed envelopes for all mailings, by means of clear and legibly typed silk screens.
Silk Screens: Procedure:–
1. Take special Addressall container and fill with water so that the leather pad is moistened.
2. Place silk screen on the damp pad so that the cut-out is now on the bottom left-hand side and allow it to soak for about two minutes. (This makes it possible to penetrate through the membrane when typing. It is best to place a silk screen on the pad each time while typing another screen. This saves time.)
3. Make sure that the special typewriter has a backing sheet running through it. The back side must face you.
4. Allow the screen to dry after typing. This is hastened by placing the screen between pieces of blotting paper and pressing together.
5. Place the silk screen in the typewriter in front of the special backing sheet so that the cut-out is on the top right hand side.
6. Type the name and address you require on your silk screen.
7. Type out a sticky label duplicating the name and address already on the stencil and stick it on to the stencil.
8. Place silk screen in appropriate drawer of Addressall cabinet ready for usage.
9. A complete set of silk screens is to be kept and filed in the Addressall cabinet of all franchise holders world wide. (Only U.S. and U.K. franchise holders get services directly by us, however. All other franchise holders receive their data from the continental office.)
10. Keep all addresses up to date. Make all the necessary alterations to your screens.

Turn on the Roneo machine and get roller well inked. Then stop roller revolving and place stencil into position, making sure it is STRAIGHT. Before tearing off the backing sheet, rub gently with your hand around stencil, ensuring that ink penetrates.
1. Take old used paper and pass it through machine until it is running steadily and freely.
2. Allow only one or two new clear pages through for a final testing. (Do not waste paper.)
3. Make sure that printing is centred and straight on the paper, i.e. not too near the top, bottom or one side as the case may be. If this is so alter the position of the page vertically, horizontally, or laterally.
4. Once all these points are ensured place the correct paper for the bulletin into the machine.
5. Set counter for number of bulletins required.
6. If printing is going on the back of any sheet do ten extra copies. DO NOT waste paper at any time. Be careful, as more money is wasted on this than almost any department.
