Understanding the label print queue settings
The following diagram
shows what the system will expect the label paper to look like with the above settings. (2 Labels across and 8
Labels down with 0 Margins (the default for the printer)).
If the margins
are correct the text
will be in the exact same position in every label
throughout the page. If you find the text printing inside the label is moving
up or down the page, you will need to
adjust the margins to resize the labels.
Adjusting
the margins
If you adjust the bottom margin to 6 (the
measurement is 1/6 of an inch. Therefore, you are adding a
1-inch margin to the bottom of the page) and the right margin to 5 (the
measurement is 1/10 of an inch. Therefore, you are adding a ½ inch margin the
right hand side of the page.)
NOTE: the printer will
already have a small margin by default. The margins you add within stockyard will be added to the default margin.
You will need to try printing some labels to work
out what the margin needs to be.
The diagram depicts the changes
to the margins and the
effect it has on the labels. Basically each label is smaller and is now spaced evenly within the
margins.
Once you make any changes
to the print queue settings
you will need to
‘Make changes operational’ also located under ‘System’ in Main Menu. Then
restart postman by closing and opening it again.
Your changes won’t take place unless Postman
is restarted.
