I have a Doctors office that is trying to print chart labels. Their okidata dot matrix wouldn't work at all - tried Labels in rbase and tried Reports. They bought a thermal printer that prints sideways (Dymo labeler) - Rbase won't print to it sideways.
Steve, Have you seen the License Key Labels printed on the inside of the DVD case of R:BASE 7.1 and 7.5 for Windows? Those labels are printed on a Dymo LabelWriter 330 Turbo-USB printer. It all has to do with the DYMO LabelWriter printer setup. To print one label at a time (sideways) on the roll, you need a printer to support labels on a roll, such as DYMO LabelWriter 330 Turbo-USB. If that is the case, first you need to set up the printer, and then use the "Custom" Paper Size option of Label > Page Setup. Here are a few tips (based on my experience using Dymo LabelWriter with "R:Capture", the first vertical market RBG7 application): http://www.rcapture.com 01. By default, the Dymo Label Printer is installed for "Portrait" Printing. You need to change the printer default to print as "Landscape". Here's how: If installed properly on Windows 2000/XP Workstation, you should be able to see the DYMO LabelWriter 330 Turbo-USB as one of the listed printer in Windows Printer Configuration Panel. Start | Settings | Printers You'll need to update the Printing Preferences of DYMO LabelWriter 330 Turbo-USB printer as following: 01. Right-Click on DYMO LabelWriter 330 Turbo-USB printer icon 02. Select Printing Preferences... 03. Change Orientation to Landscape 04. Click on [Advanced] button for Advanced Properties 05. Change the properties as following: Paper Size: 99014 Shipping Copy Count: 1 Copy Advanced Printing Features: Enabled Halftoning: Super Cell Printer Quality: Barcodes and Graphics Print Quality: Normal Click on [OK] when done. 06. Click on [Apply] button to save and then click on [OK] to save Printing Preferences. 02. Once the printer is setup accordingly, now you can use the R:BASE 7.5 for Windows Labels to print one label at a time on a roll! 03. Use "Custom" option to set the height and width of the label. That's all there is to it. Enjoy and make sure to have fun! Very Best R:egards, Razzak.
