I have created 4x1 label in the printer properties.
Please help.
Thank you in advance,
Gordon

 

[GordonSH]

If I have selected the 4x1 Label, why does the printing Preferences show a letter image?

 

[GordonSH]

Well,
NOW the printer is not FF whole page but gives attached error.

Please help.
Thank you in advance,
Gordon

Gordon,

when you modify the report/label either from the project manager or with

modify label mylabel

click 'report' in the menu and look at 'properties'... what's the page layout set to?

and click the 'page setup' button.. what paper size do you have?

[GordonSH]

Here's the page layout and page setup

Thank you Nigel

Something wrong with the bands that it doesn't print the first line.

 

[Nigel Gomm]

Gordon,

in the report designer... what does the first line look like?

do you have a 'print when' with 'remove line if blank' ticked?

[GordonSH]

Hi Nigel,
The first line should not be blank because it's the line with the name on it.
ALLT(label.title)+IIF (empty(label.title),""," ") +ALLT(label.firstname)+" "+ALLT(label.lastname)

 

[Nigel Gomm]

Gordon,

what's on the "print when" tab ?

Gordon,

well... that looks ok from here. put a browse in front of the 'report form label-1.frx' and check what the data looks like.

(or open that line in the debugger)

Hi Nigel,
I think I have solved the problem.
Somehow the printer won't let me print on the top of the label.
So I have combined the Country line with the line above it and moved the remaining lines down.
This allows all lines to print on the label.

 

[Nigel Gomm]

Gordon,

glad it's working.

That's not the last problem.
It works on my computer but not on my clients computer. Ugh
