Printing labels on dot matrix without page break
I need to print labels on a dot matrix printer on a continuos form that
doesn't have page breaks (just one label after the other). I have created the format with the right measurments, but after the first page the printer will jump as if it had a page break and loose it. Is there anyway to avoid that? |

Printing labels on dot matrix without page break
Do you really have to use a dot matrix printer?

Printing labels on dot matrix without page break
If you are using a dot matrix label definition, this should not be an issue,
as they are defined with 0" top margin. More likely your printer has a setting to "skip over perforations" that needs to be set OFF, often with a DIP switch. -- Suzanne S.

Printing labels on dot matrix without page break
Unfurtunately I do have to use dot matrix since the labels are plastic and
going to be soaked in water (laser melts the plastic and inkjet is water based). Suzanne, even when I set the top margin to 0" it still jumps. I have tried on 3 different printers, but always with the same outcome. I don't think it is the printer, because with a very basic software that comes with the labels it doesn't happen.

Printing labels on dot matrix without page break
I think you have misunderstood me. When you open the Envelopes and Labels
dialog and select the Labels tab, there is an Options... button. In the Label Options dialog, have you selected the "Dot matrix" radio button and chosen your label definition from one of those listed there? -- Suzanne S.

Printing labels on dot matrix without page break
I did, I created a new label definition with the Dot Matrix option, setting
the top margin to 0 and the rest to the label's measurments. It works perfectly the first page (I should say "set", because there aren't real page breaks) and then it jumps and looses the settings.

Printing labels on dot matrix without page break
You may have better luck basing your label definition on one of the "roll"
types instead of "fanfold." For these Word defines the page size as the label size instead of the number of labels in a 12" fanfold section. -- Suzanne S.

I didn't even know there were roll types, I'll do the test and then I will
let you know. "Suzanne S. Barnhill" wrote: You may have better luck basing your label definition on one of the "roll" types instead of "fanfold."

Printing labels on dot matrix without page break
Suzanne, I did the test, but as I save the label with a new name it is
automatically transformed to form feed and I get the page break after every line. Is there a way to manually select "roll"? I couldn't find it.

Printing labels on dot matrix without page break
André,
Did you ever get a resolution on this problem? I was just assign to work this same issue. I am using an EPSON FX-2190 dot matrix to print custom labels (6" x 6" labels) And the first prints OK but the rest skips. I measured it and it looks like that the printer skips by 11 inches everytime. Please advise... Thanks in advance! -- Alan "André Clark" wrote: I need to print labels on a dot matrix printer on a continuos form that doesn't have page breaks (just one label after the other).
