Guess is that there are LINES on your label? A Box? Something that is outside of the standard fonts for the label printer. When that happens the entire label becomes a graphic image sent to the printer instead of text characters, and numbers. teh Barcode font will translate the image of lines for the #s you sent it. It could be an orientation issue that the label prints fine in portrait mode but it is printing in landscape. It has been 10+ years since I dealt with label printers but those were the speed issues I dealt with then. -- Stephen Russell Unified Health Services 60 Germantown Court Suite 220 Cordova, TN 38018 Telephone: 888.510.2667 901.246-0159 cell _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/[email protected] ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
