Dear Karen, I printed labels that are attached to manufacturing equipment at Chrysler, Rubbermaid and other plants all over the country for about 10 years. We began with Swedot printers whose cryptic instructions were in a different language. Trial and error will result in trial and success. Try everything. We used a serial connector and printed labels double wide. An unprintable control code [control character] prompted the printing of two identical labels side by side: One for the equipment, the second for a file documenting its placement.
Try setting your form to show a detail line with two labels, either side by side or one on top of the other. That group of two labels might print together, one on each label. Also, review your printer settings. There may be codes for settings adjusting how things are displayed on a label. Your label looks good on the form. Another option might be to print the labels as a pdf. That will set the appearance. Then print the pdf's. See if any of this helps. And experiment.

They bought a bunch of Zebra ZD621 printers and I need to get this label to work. The issue: this is a tiny little label designed to go on tiny little containers. The label is 1-1/2" wide and 3/4" high. The Dymo had just one label on the sheet, but this Zebra has a 3" roll and it insists of centering my label across the entire width. I'll attach a picture of how it turns out. I'm also inserting a pic of the label designer I'm assuming that if I can get this work, that the second column of labels will be wasted. They print one row of data, but could print multiple copies of the same label. Apparently label printing doesn't accept the "copies" parameter. Currently with the Dymo one label is printed at a time within a counting loop. I went into printer configuration to try to fool it into thinking the width was 1.5" but it doesn't matter. If someone has any clues on what I can change, either in RBase or the printer, I'd appreciate them contacting me directly. Of course, if someone can help me get this to work, I'd be happy to pay for their time.
