Choosing the LabelWriter is just the first step. Every time
you switch printers in the Chooser, you must change the
Page Setup so that your documents print as intended.
1. Launch the application from which you wish to print.
2. Choose Page Setup from the File menu.
3. Specify the type of labels in your printer by clicking the
appropriate Paper radio button or choosing from the pop-
up menu.
4. If using a non-standard label, click Paper, then click New.
The Paper dialog box shows a list of the different label
types, along with the dimensions and margins of each.
In the Name text field, enter a descriptive name for the
type of label you are using.
Using the Units radio buttons, specify your preferred unit
of measurement, then enter the Width (side to side) and
Height (top to bottom) in the corresponding text fields.
The standard margin settings are appropriate for most
labels, but you may change them by clicking the Custom
radio button and entering whatever values you wish.
When everything has been entered to your satisfaction,
click Set to save your settings, or click Reverse to discard
them. Continue creating as many custom label types as
you wish, then click
OK to return to the Page Setup
dialog box.
5. Select the Continuous checkbox only if using continuous
thermal paper.
6. Specify the correct Orientation by clicking on the
appropriate icon.
