Eric, Not sure if you ordered the same labels I did. I ordered them from amazon since I have Amazon Prime. They are the Avery 6570 labels and it states that they are for both laser and inkjet printers. Just FYI.

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.

I was using safari browser on my mac. For some reason if I printed from the Adobe safari plug-in the labels did not print in the correct spot.

I'll be checking in with Cannon and trying a different package of labels soon, but in the meantime I can't seem to get the Avery 8160 labels to work with this printer. they print just a bit too high. As this seems to be a pretty common printer I'm wondering if anyone has all ready solved this problem. Also if it is working well for you perhaps you could let me know which labels you are using successfully with this printer? >>> >>> I've been very impressed with the Digit-Eyes web site and the available support.
