Tom,
I wrote to you earlier this afternoon but it looks like my msg got swallowed up in the great void.
Unfortunately, Larry's suggestion won't work because you almost certainly use rolls of labels so trying to kid the printer that 1.4" is the new 1.75" will result in what you found: the second and succeeding labels print off-true with another good one only coming whenever you hit an exact common multiple of the sizes.
The question is whether you are trying to print content which is larger than the allowed printable area available for it. Most printers do not print edge to edge so there is almost always a physical margin around the true printing area. Check the margins and offsets on your R:Base report and in the printer page setup in Windows that they are not reducing further what is available but I expect you have done that.
You did not say whether your content is one line, several lines or an image or an image and text. If you are unable to print even a single line of text at 1.25", I would imagine you are simply SOL but, if you can, add a line at a time so you may find out whether your content is close to working and you may be able to reduce the font and/or image a hair to print what you need.
Unless it's a very minor tweak to get what you want or your label is something unique to your vendor, it may be a lot simpler to buy your labels from someone who can supply what you want and not give you a problem to solve. FWIW I found white thermal 3" x 1.75" easily online.

This is what is happening

Yes and it prints a little off the tag, then skips a tag. It looks like it is trying to print 1.4". Even if I shrink the height of print area it still skips

--instead have you used an existing Rbase label that worked on the 1.4” label and then just replace the
label in the printer with the new 1.25” label and see what happens?

Have you tried making the font size a little smaller or changing the font type.

Confusing?
What printer are you using? Zebra?
If the label printed fine with the settings for 1.75 and for 1.4, just putting the 1.25 labels in the machine and NOT changing
anything in the Rbase label form should still print something on the label because printers are ‘stupid’ 😉
I have 5 Zebra label printers (some 201DPI and some 301DPI) and labels 1” to 3” in height.
I know when I added 301DPI printers the form got screwy but I just left the old height setting alone or it would mess things up.
If you wish I can look at my 1” label form when I am back in the office to see the settings?

Subject: [RBASE-L] - Label question
I have been using the same label for over a decade 3x1.75 but now my vendor is only selling 3x1.25 labels so I am trying to adjust the height and when I do only a blank label shows up. I have even tried making a new label and placed one data field in the middle of the label to make sure I was not off the page and still blank. I can go down to 1.4" and it will work, but no smaller.
Any
