Nancy,
I can't recall if I had found those settings for the printout of the actual labels but if you take a look at the practice labels I sent you (printed on regular paper) you should see that those settings having to do with fitting the page and or sizing were all turned off and "actual size" was chosen. Neither I nor my sighted wife were able to get the practice labels to work either so I'm kind of at a loss unless the settings I fixed were automatically changed somehow when printing the practice labels. Hopefully, it will go better with the new Avery labels. Also note that the labels I sent you were Office Depot brand and not real Avery labels.

There is a list on our website of common ones http://www.digit-eyes.com/cgi-bin/digiteyes.fcgi?action=labelInfo Rick, I looked at the labels you sent -- your printer is scaling them and printing the entire sheet smaller than it should. Eileen had the same problem and she found some settings that had to be changed -- they said 'fit to page' or 'fit to printable area' or something like that and she had to turn them off and (if I remember right) set "sizing" to "none" On Tuesday, May 1, 2012 1:31:52 PM UTC-5, ccwiner wrote: Yes, the label number refers to the size of labels and not if it's designed for laser or inkjet. Usually labels and printer paper will state if it's designed for laser, inkjet, or both. Once I made the mistake of purchasing labels for laser printers. I had the correct size/number but when I used it in my inkjet printer, the ink just smudged right off. Everything was printed in the correct spaces but the ink just would not adhere to the labels. Lesson learned, I now make sure I purchase multi-purpose paper and labels since I use both laser and inkjet. :) I believe it's very possible that there is a setting with your inkjet that is causing your printer to print off of the labels. Sometimes I have to play a little bit with the settings to make sure scaling or paper type is correct. Once, I had my paper set to print borderless which changed the placing of the printed text. Best of luck to you. HTH, Christina C -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the "VIPhone" Google Group.
