Label Printing Options

To access label printing options, proceed as follows:

On the Tools menu, click Options and Settings.
Under Labels, click Settings.

How to request label paper

To have the program prompt you to put a label sheet in the printer before starting to print, select the Prompt to insert labels check box.

How to skip already-used labels

To reuse an incomplete label sheet you can set the program to detect what label number to start at. To specify this number, type it in the Start at label box or click the label in question on the sketch of the label sheet.

If the Prompt to insert labels option is selected, you will also be able to select this value at print time.

Warning! Many suppliers claim that label paper for laser printers should not be put through the printer more than once because the heat generated by the printer softens the adhesive. If a sheet goes through the printer a second time, the adhesive may melt and stick to the printer mechanism, possibly jamming it.

How to print a test page

You can print a page of label samples on normal paper to make sure the text alignment fits the chosen format.

To do this, click the Print Test Page button. To print a border showing the size of the labels, select the With borders check box.

Manual feed

Printing labels on a network printer can be troublesome, with many printing jobs possibly being processed at once. To prevent other users from printing documents on your label sheets, set your printer to manual feed. To change these settings, click the Properties button from the Print Form box.
