Label printing
I am trying to mail merge and print address labels. I am using Word 2003
and an HP 2100 series ink jet printer. I set up all the stats for my labels but when they print they print in the middle of the printer as though I were using letter sized paper (8 1/2 x 11) My lables are 4.5 x 2.5 and they are an Avery address label which I set as my label. No matter what I try, the labels still print in the middle of the printer (or page) and not on the label. Can anyone help?? |

Label printing
I'd suggest making sure that both your printer and Word are set up for that
size document. (I know that same problem can occur with Publisher if both aren't set up with the same page size.) -- JoAnn Paules MVP Microsoft [Publisher] "JFK" wrote in message ...

Label printing
How do I set up my printer for this? I have made labels in the past and
there was no problem but I just started doing my xmas list and it just won't work. Prior to this year it worked fine. I do automatic updates for my Word and I am wondering if something was adjusted that is what is causing the error. "JoAnn Paules [MSFT MVP]" wrote in message ...

File - Print - Properties - go from there. A friend of mine has the ability
to so her setup on her all in one printer/scanner so it differs depending on your printer. -- JoAnn Paules MVP Microsoft [Publisher] "JFK" wrote in message ... How do I set up my printer for this?

I suspect you'll need to feed the labels in the center, which is where the
printer evidently expects to find them. -- Suzanne S.

Label printing
The printer will not print unless the labels are placed all the way to the
right edge. I tried putting the labels in the middle and all it says is printer out of paper. "Suzanne S. Barnhill" wrote in message ...

Label printing
You have to be using the wrong sized sheets for the template..

I have used these same sheets for 2 years but this time they just aren't
working. They have worked in the past but was doing a xmas address list with the same database and labels but this time it just won't work. I might have added some patch from Microsoft 2 yrs ago for this problem but don't remember. I thought maybe the automatic updates knocked the function of the patch out of whack. Just can't figure it out. "Mike Hall (MS-MVP)" wrote in message ... You have to be using the wrong sized sheets for the template.. -- Mike Hall MVP - Windows Shell/User "JFK" wrote in message ...

Are you sure that you are using the correct template?.. and does your Avery
sheet number start with the #2? -- Mike Hall MVP - Windows Shell/User "JFK" wrote in message ... I have used these same sheets for 2 years but this time they just aren't working.

JFK
There are two templates for the size of label.. the difference is the amount of labels per sheet.. one template has two columns of labels, the other has just one column.. I would imagine that you have set the template that has only one column, which is why it would appear to be printing in the middle of the two columns maybe.. -- Mike Hall MVP - Windows Shell/User "JFK" wrote in message ...

Used a program called Label Maker on my HP inkjet and they worked perfectly.
Have never owned a dot matrix printer but have used these labels for 5 years now. He still has about 15 boxes left so will be using them until they are gone. But now that they work there is no problem. Thanks all. "JFK" wrote in message ... I am trying to mail merge and print address labels. I am using Word 2003 and an HP 2100 series ink jet printer.
