34 Printing Using a PC
2. Check the image or document size. The image size or
document size should correspond to the Page/Label Size set in
the driver. If you have set your page size n the driver to
101.6mm x 101.6mm (4" x 4") but your image is actually
127mm x 76.2mm (5" x 3") the printer driver will automatically
shrink your image to fit inside the 101.6mm x 101.6mm
(4" x 4") label. The result is that the actual printed label is
101.6mm x 60.96mm (4" x 2.4"). Avoid this by setting your page
size in the driver and image size in the printing application to
match the label size installed in the printer.
3. Choose the right printing program. There are many
different applications that are capable of printing to the LX500e.
However there are only a few that are ideal
printing applications. For example, Adobe Illustrator is
an excellent design program but is not always the best printing
program. It can be difficult to find the printing preferences or
to know the exact size of the art board. It is best to save as a
PDF file and print from Adobe Reader or export as a 300 dpi
JPG and print from BarTender.
