Sending Your First Mail

A step-by-step guide to creating and sending your first letter with Intelliprint

Document Preparation

Before uploading your document, ensure it's properly formatted for optimal results:

Document Format

  • Create your document in Word, or another application that can save as PDF, Word, or RTF
  • Use A4 page size (210mm × 297mm)
  • Set margins of at least 10mm on all sides
  • Use standard fonts for best results

Recipient Address

Include the full recipient address in your document for automatic detection:

Mr. John Smith
123 Sample Street
Anytown
London
AB12 3CD

Place the address prominently at the top of your document, with each line separated clearly.

Pro Tip: For your first mail, keep it simple. Use a straightforward document without complex formatting. You can explore more advanced features like letterheads and custom templates later.
