\chapter[{Japanese Letter Support for \Class{scrlttr2}}]
{Japanese Letter Support for \Class{scrlttr2}\footnote{This chapter has been
    written originally by Gernot Hassenpflug.}}
\labelbase{japanlco}
\Index{letter>Japanese}

Since version~2.97e \Class{scrlttr2} provides support not only for European
ISO~envelope sizes and window envelopes, but also for Japanese envelopes, in
the form of \File{lco} files which set the layout of the paper. This chapter
documents the support, and provides a few examples of using the provided
\File{lco} files for printing letters intended for Japanese envelopes.

\section{Japanese standard paper and envelope sizes}
\label{sec:japanlco.PaperEnvelope}

The Japan Industrial Standard (JIS) defines paper sizes and envelope sizes for
national use, which both overlap with the ISO and US sizes and include some
metricated traditional Japanese sizes. Envelope window size and position have
not been defined internationally as yet; hence, there exists a plethora of
envelopes with differing window sizes and positions. The below subsections
give some background on Japanese paper sizes and envelopes.

\subsection{Japanese paper sizes}
\label{sec:japanlco.Paper}

The JIS defines two main series of paper sizes:
\begin{enumerate}
\item the JIS A-series, which is identical to the ISO A-series, but
  with slightly different tolerances; and
\item the JIS B-series, which is not identical to the ISO/DIN
  B-series. Instead, the JIS B-series paper has an area 1.5 times that
  of the corresponding A-series paper, so that the length ratio is
  approximately 1.22 times the length of the corresponding A-series
  paper. The aspect ratio of the paper is the same as for A-series
  paper.
\end{enumerate}

Both JIS A-series and B-series paper is widely available in Japan and most
photocopiers and printers are loaded with at least A4 and B4 paper. The
ISO/JIS~A-series, and the different ISO and JIS~B-series sizes are listed in
\autoref{tab:japanlco.jpapersizes1}.

There are also a number of traditional paper sizes, which are now used
mostly only by printers. The most common of these old series are the
Shiroku-ban and the Kiku paper sizes. The difference of these types compared
to the JIS~B-series are shown in \autoref{tab:japanlco.jpapersizes2}.
Finally, there are some common stationary sizes, listed in
\autoref{tab:japanlco.jpapersizes3}. You may come across these when buying
stationary.

The ISO~C-series is not a paper size as such, but is a standard
developed for envelopes, intended for the corresponding A-series
paper, and is discussed in the next subsection.

\subsection{Japanese envelope sizes}
\label{sec:japanlco.envelope}

ISO (International Organization for Standardization) envelope sizes
are the official international metric envelope sizes; however, Japan
uses also JIS and metricated traditional envelope sizes.  Sizes
identified as nonstandard do not conform to Universal Postal Union
requirements for correspondence envelopes.

\subsubsection{ISO envelope sizes}
The ISO C-series envelope sizes, and possibly B-series envelope sizes,
are available in Japan. C-series envelopes can hold the corresponding
A-series paper, while B-series envelopes can hold either the
corresponding A-series paper or the corresponding C-series
envelope. The ISO envelope sizes commonly for Japan are listed in
\autoref{tab:japanlco.jenvsizes1}, with the corresponding paper they
are intended for, and the folding required.

\end{minipage}
\end{table}

\subsubsection{JIS and traditional envelope sizes}
The JIS classifies envelopes into three categories based on the
general shape of the envelope, and where the flap is located:

\begin{description}
\item[You:] these envelopes are of the `commercial' type, rectangular,
  and correspond largely to Western envelope sizes, and also have the
  flap on the long dimension (`Open Side') in `commercial' or `square'
  style. `You-kei' means Western-style.
\item[Chou:] these are also `commercial' type envelopes, with the same
  shape as the corresponding `You' type, but with the flap on the
  short dimension (`Open End') in `wallet' style. `Chou-kei' means
  long-style.
\item[Kaku:] these envelopes are more square in appearance and are
  made for special use, and correspond to `announcement'
  envelopes. The flap is on the long side, in the `square' style. They
  generally do not fall under the ordinary envelope postage
  rates. `Kaku-kei' means square-style.
\end{description}

The main JIS and traditional envelope sizes and the corresponding
paper and its required folding are listed in
\autoref{tab:japanlco.jenvsizes2}.

\section{Provided \File{lco} files}
In \Class{scrlttr2} support is provided for Japanese envelope and
window sizes through a number of \File{lco} files which customize the
foldmarks required for different envelope sizes and subvariants with
different window positions and sizes.

The provided \File{lco} files together with the envelope types for
which they provide support are listed at
\autoref{tab:japanlco.lcolist}. See \autoref{tab:japanlco.jenvsizes1}
for the full list of Japanese envelopes and the paper they take, and
\autoref{tab:japanlco.jwinsizes1} for the common window sizes and
locations. The rightmost column indicates which \File{lco} file
provides the support.

The tolerances for location is about 2\Unit{mm}, so it is possible to
accommodate all the envelope and window variants of
\autoref{tab:japanlco.jwinsizes1} with just a small number of \File{lco}
files. The difference between Chou/You~3 and Chou/You~4 is determined
by paper size.

\section{Examples of Japanese letter usage}
Assume you want to write a letter on A4 size paper and will post it in
a Japanese envelope. If the envelope has no window, then it is enough
to determine whether the envelope dimensions match a European
one\,---\,the standard \File{DIN.lco} style may suffice for many such
cases.

If you wish to use a windowed envelope, please note that owing to the
large variety, not all existing subvariants are currently
supported. If you should note that you particular windowed envelope
has its window dimensions and positions significantly (more than
approximately 2\Unit{mm}) different from any of the supported subvariants,
please contact the author of {\KOMAScript} to obtain support as soon as
possible, and in the meanwhile create a customized \File{lco} file for your
own use, using one of the existing ones as a template and reading the
{\KOMAScript} documentation attentively.

If your window envelope subvariant is supported, this is how you would
go about using it: simply select the required \File{lco} file and
activate the horizontal and vertical foldmarks as required. Another,
independent, mark is the punching mark which divides a sheet in two
horizontally for easy punching and filing.

\subsection{Example 1:}
Your favourite envelope happens to be a You~3 with window subvariant
Mutoh~3, left over from when the company had its previous name, and
you do not wish them to go to waste. Thus, you write your letter with
the following starting code placed before the letter environment:

\begin{lstlisting}
\LoadLetterOption{NipponLL}\setkomavar{myref}{NipponLL}
\begin{letter}{Martina Muster\\Address}
...
\end{letter}
\end{lstlisting}

\subsection{Example 2:}
You originally designed your letter for a You~3 envelope, but suddenly
you get handed a used electrical company envelope with cute manga
characters on it which you simply cannot pass up. Surprisingly, you
find it conforms fairly closely to the Chou~4 size and C window
subvariant, such that you realize you can alter the following in your
document preamble:

\begin{lstlisting}
\LoadLetterOption{NipponEL}\setkomavar{myref}{NipponEL}
\begin{letter}{Martina Muster\\Address}
...
\end{letter}
\end{lstlisting}

Now, \Class{scrlttr2} automatically reformats the letter for you to
fit the required envelope.
