Printing Labels
I have checked the documentation on Page-size. Is there a way to specify a page size for a label printer that prints at a size of 2.25 inches by 1.25 inches?

Thanks

The application comes with a lot of predefined settings for all kind of labels.
Above these you can define your own, if you decide to use a predefined you can look in the fex to see what the settings are and then change them as you like.
It depends of course on the basic page size (A4 or Letter) and the number of rows and columns.

Frank,

I actually have a label printer that spools through a roll of labels that are 2.25" x 1.25". Any clues as to how to set a custom page size?

Thanks

Has the label printer a certain brand and the labels? I do not have any experience on this. We only use labels on A4 pages.
You should in fact define a continues page, I would like to see how this should work in Word or an other text program.

Hi gweller,

We are using a little WebFocus report for printing interior door labels on an Intermec printer. I was unable to set the page size to the 3 inch by 7 inch label size. Instead I just designed the output for letter size paper and made sure that the data fit in the 3x7 inch space at the upper left of the page. This has been working well.

I would say if the form is not listed under the continuouy s labels to use the page length and lines per page to make your own,since they are 'one up' should work.

Excellent,

thanks for everyone's input I have the report working ok without the page size, I suppose I just like to explore all the options.

Thanks Again
