Bob,
What is the label printers default setting for labels (portrait or
landscape)...I had ran into this issue because the machine was defaulted in
opposition to my report.
I am printing using a report with the following settings....
width 3.5"
Height 1.0937
Orientation Landscape
Paper Source = default
Output is sent directly to a Dymo 330 printer.

Dawn,
I am still struggling with this (grrrrr), and not sure what I'm doing
wrong.
How exactly are you setting length and width? Are youy setting to
landscape or portrait?
I just have a few fields in the detail section, with fixed as opposed to
dynamic height.
Heck, I can't even get this to print anything - I get a printer error
everytime I try to send something to the seiko.
Any other suggestions???
Thanks
Bob C.

Bob,
I have 220 and 240 as well as a couple of Dymo printers. Most of the
labels I print are actually reports, not labels because I need break
levels. For example, I have one report that prints on diskette labels (
2 1/8 x 2 3/4). The paper size still says 8.5 x 11, but the width is
set to 2.125 and the length is set to 2.7604 with zero margins for all
but the left margin. (I added that little bit over the 2.75 to eat up
some of the space between labels.) I placed my first field just slightly
below the top of the report and went from there. The length of my data
(the number of detail rows) varies, but because of the paper size
setting, it works.
You may need to do some experimenting, but I think reports offer a
little more flexibility than labels. I do use labels, but for simple
things like addresses and such. Those also took some trial and error
getting the right size label template.

Thanks Dawn,
Right now we have several models, the 200 and I think a 220. I am going
to get a new one soon also. The software is the latest for XP for those
machines.
I basically can get data to those devices, but need some tips on how to
format a label for them so it makes sense. I usually wind up with
multiple labels with partial words or garbage. I think there is a
method to offload data to a text file and then open up some other seiko
software, but I'd rather do it all in R:Base and just output to that
printer.

Bob,
I use Seiko label printers in our Inkmaking program. What model(s) and
what version of their software do you have installed?

I know there was some talk a while back on this list about sending
R:Base data to a Seiko label printer. Does anyone remember this?
I'm trying to automate a process where when we re-schedule patients in a
doctors office a label prints out to slap on an appointment card.
If not, How do I get to the archives?
Thanks
Bob C.
