Hello list,
For anyone following this small thread, I am still unsuccessful
printing Digit-Eyes labels using my Canon MP620 printer. I tried Christina's
suggestion of printing from preview and the results were the same. Using the
labels that are 30 per page they print about 1 quarter of a Inch too high.
Using my work HP laser printer with different Avery labels, but also 30 per
page, they print fine.
I ordered more labels that are a better shape for Digit-Eyes and though I meant
to get labels I could use on both Ink Jet and Laser printers, the receipt shows
they are Laser labels. Thus, I'm going to use my work printer.
One big tip for new users like me. Once you get the labels printed they are
much easier to use if the label is almost completely clear of extra white
space. My secretary used a paper cutter to cut my labels into strips of square
Digit-Eyes labels, rather then the long rectangular shape. This made all the
difference for me concerning recognition time with Digit-Eyes. I went from
beginners frustration to efficient fast user just with that change. The long
labels left too much guess work for me to center the camera. Though I thought
I was centered I rarely was. Once I had a square label things worked much
better!
I am looking forward to trying the close to square, slightly larger, 1 and 1/4
by 1 and 3/4 quarter inch labels I ordered. I'll certainly send a message with
a update.
Best.
