Custom Label Printing - Print position creeps up and across labels

Hello
I am using VS 2010 and have updated to SP4 for Crystal Reports
I used the custom size option to make a label report. The built in options for label sheets do not match the labels that I have
I made a label report for 3 columns and 8 rows using the label size, margin widths top and bottom, left and right, with the 2 widths between the columns. But this does not print correctly on the labels. The printing on the label rows creep up so by the time you reach the 8th row the label is partly on the 7th Row. The left hand column prints correctly. the middle column prints closer to the left edge of the label than in the first column and the third column is printing on the gap between the 2nd and 3rd column.
I tried making a new report and set the dimensions to the maximum sizes that would allow 24 labels (3 columns and 8 rows) but the same problem occurs as when having set the correct sizes
I am not sure if there is a method to edit the label sizes, and margin widths as happens when creating a new report or if the only option is to create a new report.
Any assistance or information on how to make the labels print with the correct row and column spacing would be appreciated.
My Labels are 67mm x 36mm. there is no space betwwen the rows, the margin at the top and bottom of the sheet are the same, and the left and right margins are the same. The space between the columns is 2mm

Thank you for the reply Rob
There is no Avery template in the list that has 24 labels, which is why I was using the Custom Label
I have tried many variations trying different widths and gaps between the labels, but in all cases by the time the 8th row is printeed the printing has crept up and is now overlapping onto the bottom of the 7th row label. The third column is printing on the gutter between the 2nd and 3rd column.
When creating a Custom label it would appear that the Wizard works on Letter size Paper regardless of the paper size that the printer is set to. All my printers are set to A4 size paper.
Letter Paper is 215.9mm x 279.4mm compared to 210mm x 297mm for A4. While the width is not a problem the length is less, and that may well be what is causing the problem when the Wizard creates the labels, despite changing the Paper size to A4. But the paper size can only be changed and set to A4 after the wizard has been given the label size and spacing for margins and gutters.
In my view the Wizard should ask for the paper size and then ask for the label size settings and layout

Print position and borders on custom package

I have 2 questions related to the print module
1- I have searched the web and couldn't find any indication of precise positioning options for cells (photos). When looking at the lrtemplate file, it seems like the position is driven by "bounds" and the parameters for AgMutableRect looks like (x start, y start, x end and y end). Units for bounds, imageHeight and imageWidth in this case are 72 * inch value (not sure if this is always true). I have tried modifying bounds values directly in the file and then open the template in lightroom and it worked. My question is what are "cellScreenBounds" and "cellTemplateScreenBounds" used for and what are the parameter values (and units)?
cells = {
        anchored = true,
        bounds = AgMutableRect( 85.347767253045, 77.163734776725, 805.34776725304, 797.16373477673 ),
        cellScreenBounds = AgMutableRect( 24, 21, 229, 227 ),
        cellTemplateScreenBounds = AgMutableRect( 5, 5, 55, 54 ),
        imageHeight = 720,
        imageWidth = 720,
        page = 1,
2- The next question is is it possible to have 2 outer borders, one very thin black and one large white -> on a white background? When trying from lightroom print module, it seems like the photo border is always the same color as the background color, only inner border can have a different color. Again, I have found those parameters in the lrtemplate file and AgColor( 1, 1, 1, 1 ) seems to be white and AgColor( 0, 0, 0, 1 ), seems to be black ... Anyone who knows what the parameters represent?
    imageBorderColor = AgColor( 1, 1, 1, 1 ),
    innerStrokeBorder = true,
    innerStrokeColor = AgColor( 1, 1, 1, 1 ),
    innerStrokeWidth = 18.084,
    lockToPhotoAspectRatio = false,
    metadataFontSize = 10,
    numLayoutPages = 1,
    oneImagePerPage = true,
    pageBackgroundColor = AgColor( 0, 0, 0, 1 ),
    pageBackgroundColorActive = true,
To give you some background, this is what I'm trying to do -> Create a custom picture package to export as a jpeg to print as a 12x12 photo. On the picture package, I want to place (precise position) a few photos that will overlap, each with a big white border around the photo and a thin black border to frame the photo (so starting from center it would be -> photo, big white border, thin black border, white background)
Thanks

You know, in a user exit or a BADi you can access any variable of the program you want.
Just find what which program calls the Exit User, put a break-point in it, and find the variable you need to access.
Then add this kind code in your Exit :
DATA: l_var TYPE ....
FIELD-SYMBOLS: <fs_var> TYPE ANY.
ASSIGN ('(PGMNAME)variable') TO <fs_var>.
IF sy-subrc = 0.
l_var = <fs_var>.
ENDIF.
Same thing for a table :
DATA: lt_var TYPE TABLE OF....
FIELD-SYMBOLS: <fs_var> TYPE ANY.
ASSIGN ('(PGMNAME)table[]') TO <fs_var>.
IF sy-subrc = 0.
lt_var[] = <fs_var>.
LOOP AT lt_var ASSIGNING ...
ENDLOOP.
ENDIF.

WM Custom Label Printing??

Hi,
We got a req as follows:
We created a new IM mvt type [copy of 311] which is mapped to a new WM mvt type 911. Whenver we do MB1B, T.O is created automatically.
Once the T.O is created I need to print a "custom label" for this?? How to do that.
Also, If the T.O has 2 line items
Line Item 1: MatXXXX 10EA
Line Item 2: MatYYYY 10EA
Then it need to print 20 custom labels.
Please advice.

Hi Oisin,
Thanks for the reply.
I had already had a look into Note#771683 which doesn't full fill my requirement.
My actuall requirement is to do label printing through a wireless printer when the user clicks on print from the ITSMobile.
I have an idea of creating an output device with Access method as S(Print using SAP Protocol) and maintian destination host as ip address of the system(with SAPLpd running) in which my wireless printer is connected .When i click on print from ITSMobile a spool will be created with the particular output device , which further goes to the wireless printing.
Do you have any other solution.Kindly suggest.

Thyagu.

Since downloading the most current iTunes software I can no longer print the insert (label) for a jewel case. The songs are printed over each other and can not be read. Any suggestions? Thanks.

Since downloading the most current iTunes software I am no longer able to print an insert (label) for a jewel case. I click on print, choose jewel case and then it doesn't matter which option I choose for the insert it will only print the songs over each other in a 1 inch section so that it can not be used or read. If instead of clicking on the jewel case I click on list it works fine and prints an appropriate list. I have always updated the iTunes software the first time I am offered to do so and I have never had a problem printing the jewel case inserts. Since this issue is not about a piece of hardware iTunes help will not help me.

Did you ever get a response?
If you so how did you correct the problem?
I have the exact problem you had.
Please let me know.
Thank you

How do you unfreeze a frozen top and left command in the printing position command?

The top and left option of the printing position command is frozen at 0. The error message states that a value between 0.000 and 0.000 is required. How do I change this? This happens will unedited and edited pictures. I have just installed a xerox printer perhaps there is a link between this problem and the printer.

I didn't even suggest that because I would have thought that would be the first thing anyone would have checked for! If you flip the on/off switch on the bottom of the mouse do you have a blinking green light? Whether you do or don't, if you are unsure of the batteries then replace them.

Custom Adobe print settings not being saved as a default

We're trying to print pdf labels from a website to either a Citizen CLP-521 or a Zebra GK420d using a custom label size and settings. This works fine when printing from the local PC the printer is connected to. However as soon as we share the printer and try and print from another PC we have to select all of the settings everytime which is time consuming. On the locally connected printer PC each time it is rebooted we have to select the label printer as it goes to the default printer. Subsequently we have to select the custom settings which are then saved until the PC is rebooted. However on the other PC's we are having to select the printer and the custom settings everytime. This is very time consuming when we're trying to print 150 labels each day!
We've tried with different versions of Adobe reader, 7, 8 and 9 loaded on Windows XP Pro SP3. Tried changing various settings in Acrobat but still no joy.
Has anyone else experienced this problem or got any ideas on how to resolve this issue?

Uninstalling iTunes and quicktime from your PC does not erase songs you have on your PC nor does it erase the iTUnes Library File. When you do uninstall it iTunes leaves all your songs alone and it leaves behind the iTUnes Library inside the "iTunes" folder. So when you reinstall iTUnes the library is already in place
More info about the library file can be found here

Also reinstalling iTUnes will reinstall quicktime too. there both bundled together

How to Create a Custom Canvas Print Order System

Hi,
I own a canvas print website but if anyone wants to order a 'custom' canvas print from their own photo they have to email me and I add effects and email them back. I'd like to move away from this and setup an automated system in Flash where the user can upload their image, select their canvas size, apply some effects, and then order online.
If you Google 'photos on canvas' there are literally loads of websites that have this functionality. I've got the time and will to learn & build my own version, and after looking at quite a few implementations I think Flash will be the best format to build this in (and I like the idea of keeping it all within the Flash environment rather than mixing php & javascript). www dot canvasdezign dot co dot uk/yourphotos.php is a good example - they use uploadify to upload the image and then its all in flash from there on.
I'd really appreciate it if any of you guys could point me in the right direction of where you think I should start with this project, and how you'd approach it? I'm relatively new to Flash but find with any new language the best way to learn is 'on the job'. I know that image handling can be difficult in any language so if there's a 'good' way of approaching this then I'd love to learn of it now rather than further down the line.
As a first step I'd like to get it working without the option of adding fancy effects to the images - a nice and simple image upload > select size > resize image to fit > save & upload image (actually, probably a more realistic first step will be having a single standard size rather than options).
Any pointers on how to approach this would be really appreciated. I'm using Flash Professional CS5.5 with ActionScript 3.
Thanks in advance for any help you can offer.

In Contacts version 8, how can I print ALL information in each individual card? When I select the print command the only thing printed is the name and address. I need phone number(s) and all other information in the cards.

In Contacts version 8, how can I print ALL information in each individual card? When I select the print command the only thing printed is the name and address. I need phone number(s) and all other information in the cards. We enter various pieces of data, other than the standard name address & phone numbers and we print all information on each card so it fits in a 5x7 inch loose binder. We have used InTouch software for many years and it has served us extremely welll, however, the publisher (The Prairie Group) has not, and apparently has no plans to update their software to be compatible with any Mac OSX OS beyond 10.6. Any help will be appreciated!

You can select what you want included in a list format. In the Print command from Contacts, click the Show Details button. Then in the Style pulldown menu select "Lists" and there you'll be able to select what you want included. You can also select what you wish included if you select the Pocket Address Book style.
If neither of those options will work for you, then you will need to look to third-party software. Here's one possibility that seems to get good reviews:
https://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/15485/labels-&-addresses
I haven't done more than try it to make sure that it works with OS X 10.9's Contacts, which it does, but you can download their demo and try it yourself.

Is there a setting to make a PDF print with no background and black text?

I made a nice booklet that has colorful blocks in the background and sometimes white text and sometimes black text. We are not going to print it, it is just going to be a PDF on our website. Can I set it up so that it always prints without the backgrounds and makes all the text black?
I just don't want people to have to print huge fields of colr if they end up printing this out on a little ink jet with expensive and finicky cartridges...
BT

There are is no as such specified setting for customer or reader printer, because it depends on the printer setting of customer. However, you can mentioned that, if any one want to print book as black text, follow this setting http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/print-black-white-acrobat-reader.html

Magenta Printing Issues in CS5 and LR3

Hi,
   I have seen this issue mentioned in various forms over the last year or so but I have yet to see a real solution to the problem I am now experiencing.
History:
   I was running a Vista 64b OS and using LR 2.X and Epson's r2880 printer. I was able to print using LR 2.X without any issues both in B&W and color using the various papers, using iccs provided by various vendors (Moab for example) I never had the Magenta printing issues.
Fast Forward:
   I recently installed LR3 and CS5 under the same OS (Vista 64b) and when I print in color it is obviously Magenta heavy.   I am following the same practices as before of having LR3 manage the color (using one of the vendor iccs) and setting "No Color Managment" in the printer driver UI. Doing this gives me terrible crazy Magenta prints. I have un-installed and re-installed the Epson Printer driver numerous times with no positive effect. The causal effect was installing CS5 and LR3. These were the only changes made.
I also did try and print in CS5 with the same Magenta results. I posted in this thread along with the LR board also as I feel the LR3 and CS5 issue is related to some common theme.
I was wondering if anyone had a similar problem and had found a solution other than switching over to a Mac.
This is very frustrating and depressing.
Thanks,
David.

Thanks for the great Feed back. I was able to fix the printing problem by doing several things:
1) Re-install the printer drivers
2) Runnning the printer through nozzle checks and cleaning cycles. Had to peform the cleaning cycle 3 times.
3) Replacing the yellow ink cartridge. The ink level was showing about 15% remaining but in fact I was out of yellow ink. I had read that the ink levels were not always accurate.
So for me this issue has been solved. Thanks for the help.

Print Position PSE 8

I've recently installed PSE 8 and am having difficulty changing print position on the Print page. I previously used PSE 6 and it was very simple to uncheck the Center box under Print Position and have the capability of moving the photo around on the page prior to printing. All the margins were all shown. Am I just overlooking this option with PSE 8?

I am with all the other guys. another step is not what this product should be providing. I thought it was suppose to make things simpler and easier. not adding steps for those of us who found elements to do 90% plus of what photoshop does. I have 150 plus images all set up to print with a deeper bottom. PSE used to remember the previous position on the page. what do I do now?
I have sent in my comments to adobe.
thanks
