I have designed a label format for my printer, A HP Deskjet (Cheap Model) and
have selected a Unistad label format 11 X 3 (labels) (Using Wizard).
However, when I run the report it only lists 10 down instead of 11. I have
tried to adjust the design manually but it throws the labels all over the
place. My printer will not accept User designed labels. Any help Please?
Thank You
Roger
Modern printers have a minimum no print zone on all margins, left,
right, top, and bottom.
The length of the detail section for that last row of labels is just a
tad to much for your printer.
Here are some trial and error things you can do to perhaps resolve
this difficulty:
1) Make sure the bottom margin for the label report is small enough.
Set it to 0" in File + Page SetUp.
When you save the change, it will be reset to the printer minimum.
2) Slightly move the label position a bit higher on the detail
section, so the top line prints nearer the top of the label.
3) Replace all the label controls you now have with just 1 text
control, sized just a shade less than the maximum height that will fit
in the Detail space available.
Name this new control [CombinedAddress]
Set it's Control Source to:
= [FirstName] & " " & [LastName] & Chr(13) & Chr(10) & [Address] &
Chr(13) & Chr(10) & [City] & ", " & [State] & " " & [Zip]
(Change the field names above, as needed.)
The above has the advantage of spacing each line slightly closer than
using individual text boxes.
Preview the report.
If necessary, go back to design view and make the label height smaller
(from the bottom), until you get that last label row to show.
4) Make the Font size smaller so that you can make the above text
control height smaller.
5) It may be that you will just have to live with not printing that
last row of labels.
