Formatting a continuous label

[Rena]

I need to print a set of labels that are 1-up, 4" x 2.438". When I use the label expert (User-defined labels), it wants to put 4 labels / page which creates blank space after the 4th label. These are continuous labels so they should be considered as 1 / page. How do I get the label expert to do this?

TIA,
Rena

The problem is that CR will try to fit the "paper size" listed in File - Printer Setup. When you go in to Printer Setup is there an appropriate paper size on this printer that matches an even number of labels?

The following link might help, but I doubt that this will override the paper size.

Hi Ken,

I tried adding a new label type as described in the link you recommended and as you suspected, it did not solve the problem. It still printed 4 labels / page that left blank space at the bottom of the page. What I ended up doing was adding a form on the printer server that described the labels I need to create. Then when I selected the printer I had a correct form to select.

Thanks!
