This is probably due to the printer skipping perforations. There is usually
a dip switch on the printer that can be used to control whether or not it
does that, though looking at the features of that printer at
http://www.twindata.com/Tally/T6050.htm#Specifications, it is probably
configurable through the Printer Control Panel.

I am using Word 2002 to create a mail merge to labels from data in an Excel
2002 spreadsheet. Specifically, I'm creating mailing labels using the
Address Block property and adding on a mailing bar code. Everything
works
just fine as far as creating the merge; however, I'm experiencing a
problem
with my print, and I'm not sure if it's an issue with Word or with the
printer driver or something else entirely.

I am using continuous feed labels, Avery 4013, on a Tally T6050 printer. I
have selected this label type in the merge process. After I complete the
merge, I select "Edit Individual Labels," and use that to preview them,
and
everything seems fine (no empty labels). When the document prints,
however,
every 12 labels (the number of labels between folds) the printer skips 2
labels. I have tried setting up custom labels, without success. Since I'm
printing upwards of 11,000 labels a week, that's nearly 1000 labels wasted
each week, so this is a pretty big issue.

Hope someone has some insight. Thanks in advance.
