University Products, Inc., product # 9-62450-16 (1-800-628-1912,
). The label stock has 30 labels per sheet, 3
across and 10 down. Each label is 2 5/8" by 1".
S
Starting Label: To start printing on other than the first label on the sheet, set
this to the correct position. Reports counts labels from left to right/top to
bottom. For example, to start printing on the first label of the third row, set
Starting Label to 7.
S
Offsets: Use the offset options to fine-tune the printing alignment. The
horizontal and vertical offsets let you adjust the left and top margins,
respectively. Each increment is equal to 1/10th of a millimeter. The offsets
required vary from printer to printer. These offsets are in addition to the
unprintable area defined in your printer's properties.
Important:
Before you print from a Mac OS workstation, you must also select
File | Page Setup and choose the 8.5" x 11" paper with the
smallest margins (approximately .17" left/right and .11"
top/bottom). Depending on your printer, you may also have to
select the option for a larger print area. Please note that the page
setup reverts to its default settings when you close Reports.
Important:
This feature is intended for use on laser, not inkjet, printers.
The first time you print barcodes at a workstation, print a few tests on plain
paper, and do the following:
S
Make sure that the barcode is centered on the label. If not, adjust the offsets
and try again. Scanners require some white space at either end of the barcode
bars. When you print, Reports saves the offset settings you used at the
workstation so that you do not have to set them again.
S
Make sure that your scanner and/or PHD can read the barcodes. The quality
of the printout varies from printer to printer; some older printers cannot
produce scanner-readable barcodes. All testing was done using laser
printers. In addition, the type of scanner you have and the maximum width
of its laser beam affect its ability to read the barcodes.
