Printing thermal labels from fedex with Zebra 2844

I am trying to print Fed Ex shipping labels on a Zebra thermal printer 2844. Now under 10.5.6, I am able to select printer and configure it. When I print,either with safari or firefox instead of printing label - it prints rows of numbers. Has anyone done this successfully?

Dear MacAssemble:
Thanks very much for your reply. Yesterday I tried right-clicking on the UPS label image from their website. Then I opened that image in Preview (copy from clipboard) and selected appropriate formatting in the "Print" dialog box. I also printed out the entire label via Java and printed it out on the inkjet (HP 5740). I put both labels on the package and later snagged the UPS man.
"Did that label scan?" I asked him, having written on the thermal label "Did it scan?"
He laughed and said, "Yes, it scanned fine."
It still looked funky-- kind of pixellated and not completely sharp, but it did scan. I told him to hotline me (I'll write my phone on each label) if he had trouble in the future. We'll see.
So, you open the label in Gimp or PS and increase the resolution? I tried increasing the res on the 2844, but it resulted in an image to large to fit on a 4"x6" label.
Do you suppose the problem is Preview or the graphic format used by UPS itself. As I mentioned, Endicia works great, but, of course, Preview is not involved-- it prints directly to the Zebra. Trouble is, more than half my packages going out are UPS.
In every case, thank you very much for your response. I've searched the net and discussion groups for some weeks just to confirm this problem, and found nothing. So at least now I know I'm not crazy (well, at least in this area). Thanks.
Best,

  • Can not print shipping labels on FedEx with Firefox 4

    I print shipping labels from FedEx's website using their ship manager online. Now with Firefox 4 I can not get shipping labels to print with any of my printers. I had to use IE to get it to print a label. I spent almost an hour with FedEx tech support and could not get it to work until I tried it with IE. I have had no problems with previous versions of Firefox.

    If you use Quickbooks software, you could try the fix mentioned on the [http://community.intuit.com/posts/cannot-print-shipping-labels-from-ups-or-fedex-shipping-applet Intuit forum] It's the 4th post down.
    The Fedex shipping label app was written by [http://quickbooks.intuit.com/product/add_ons/shipping_manager.jsp Quickbooks], so it might work.
    Alternatively, maybe one of the Add-ons listed here will work: [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/search/?q=print&cat=all&x=0&y=0 Print Add-ons]

  • I just updated my Ipad 2 last night with iOS 7.04 now I can't print shipping labels from Paypal. I downloaded a different browser, Dolphin, per Paypal's suggestion. Still can not print. It says it has lost connection with the server.help!.

    Hello! I updated my Ipad now I can not print USPS labels from Paypal. I used my boss' Ipad not updated and worked fine. I am dependent on my Ipad to print these labels for me. I can print anything else I want, like email or packing slips. Any thoughts? I would go back to the previous version if anyone knows how to do that.

  • How can I print address labels from numbers spread sheet

    How can I print address labels from numbers spread sheet

    CAB,
    The 5163 template has the following dimensional specs:
    Dimensions & Info
    Length: 4.00000"          Height: 2.00000"
    Top Margin: 0.50000"          Bottom Margin: 0.50000"
    Left Margin: 0.18000"          Right Margin: 0.18000"
    Hor. Spacing (gutter): 0.14000"          Vert. Spacing (gutter): 0.00000"
    Intended Use: Mailing Labels, Shipping Labels, Address Labels
    There's a great vendor site with this data readily available, better than the Avery site in my opinion. But, you can get the same info in the Contacts Print dialog pane.
    You can grab a template matching these dimensions from that vendor site, Copy the table after opening the Word Template in Pages and drop the into a blank Numbers Sheet.
    I found that Sheet side margins of 0.15" worked better than 0.18. For some reason the table wanted to flow to the next page to the right with 0.18". Turning off the Headers and Footers and setting Top and Bottom Margins to 0.5" worked well. These adjustments are made in the Sheets Inspector.
    So, that will put the template you specified into a Numbers document and you can print labels properly aligned from there. Since your problem statement is a bit lacking in detail, that's all I can offer you at this point.

    You cannot save to Dropbox from Pages natively, but there is a workaround that allows you to use the Copy to WebDAV to get things to Dropbox:

    As to the "Send to iTunes" command "not playing ball", if you'll post specifics, perhaps someone can help you sort that out. It should be pretty straightforward.

  • When printing mailing labels from Contacts how do I change the label size?

    I want to print mutliple labels from a group in Contacts. I can print 20 labels per page but I want to print 14. I have tried every option in the pop up window but nothing lets me change the label size, 

    Hi 786menzies,
    Welcome to the HP Support forums.  I understand that your print jobs from Photosmart 5520 seems very small.
    The font size is controlled by the software program that the document was created in, for example any Microsoft Word document that you send to the printer the font size would have been chosen in Microsoft Word.  I've included two different documents on how to change the print settings; one for Mac and one for Windows 8.  These documents will show you the process on changing print settings if not the actual steps as you may not be using one of the operating systems mentioned.

  • Print HU label from Outbound delivery using output determination

    Hi,
      We have a business requirement to print HU labels from outbound delivery. The steps followed are
    1) User executes VL02N
    2) User clicks on packing
    3) Material is entered to pack. HU is automatically generated.
    4) After saving the delivery, output message is triggered.
    Output determination is as follows
    1) An Z output type is created.
    2) Form entry and smartform name is assigned to this output type
    Issue:
    The issue is when the output message is triggered and the code in the form entry is executed, the handling unit (from nast) is not yet committed in the database. Since it is not updated in the database table, we cannot get any handling unit data to be printed.
    Any inputs on how to print HU labels using output determination from outbound delivery is appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Sandeep

    Hi Surya,
         Thanks for the reply. But, my question was how to print labels from VL02N when i pack a material on this delivery.

  • Help...trying to print address labels from an excel document.  I only need info from some of the columns.  Using Avery labels.

    Help...I'm trying to print address labels from an existing Excel document that opens fine in Numbers.  I don't want to print everything from the spreadsheet.  The Avery template and site were no help.  Any suggestions?

    If you do not need all the excel specific items you can just write it to a spreadsheet using the write to spreadsheet file vi's.
    If you want to go the excel route you will have to use active x. you can see a lot of examples on the excel board under the breakpoint forum. please post a sample of how you want your data to look and I can maybe help explain what options you have. and also oyu do not necesarily need the report generation toolkit.

  • Printing custom labels from contacts

    How do you print labels with a different header than just the persons name? I would like to address holiday labels to read:
    "The Smith Family"
    123 Cherry St.

    Rather than the contact name only:
    "Jane Smith"
    123 Cherry St.
    Denver, CO 80210
    Can I create a field that allows me to put it as the address header rather than having to use the contacts first and last name only?

    Hi gordonprop,
    Thanks for the question. Based on what you stated, it seems like you want to change the name field on a label. I would recommend that you read this article, it may be able to help you resolve or isolate the issue.

  • Problem printing horizontal text in smartform with zebra Z6M label printer

    hello,
    The situation is this:
    There is a Z smartform wich prints a label to a zebra Z6M label printer with the text and barcodes vertically.
    The form have a command in the main windows with the parameter: S_LZPL_SETUP     '^FWR'
    This label works fine, but the client want to change the form, they have told me to create a new smartform and print the info horizontally, using the same printer.
    The tests i have done are the following:
    create a smartform from ground and write a template text and a barcode with a new font of system barcodes. the bardoce is shown ok(it is shown horizontally), the problem is that the template text is shown vertically, as in the original smartform.
    then i tried on another zebra ZM600 label printer, similar model, but not the same, and the smartform printed was ok (text and barcodes shown horizontally). So i think is a configuration setting problem, but i dont know where to search.
    i have checked the label printer parameters in SPAD, but didnt find anything souspicios.
    have you any idea?
    thanks in advance.

    See these if they be of any help.....
    BARCODE:
    goto smartform styles-> create a style-->
    create a character format.
    under standard settings give the bar code name
    use this style in ur smartform. select the data field which u want to barcode print and assign the character format
    Similarly
    SAPSCRIPT
    open the form and click the character format button and
    repeat the step as above....

    Go to Character formate in your form.
    create a new char formate with enable BAR code AND
    you can give its type too.
    To Create a Bar code prefix:
    1) Go to T-code - SPAD -> Full Administration -> Click on Device Type -> Double click the device for which you wish to create the print control -> Click on Print Control tab ->Click on change mode -> Click the plus sign to add a row or prefix say SBP99 (Prefix must start with SBP) -> save you changes , it will ask for request -> create request and save
    2) Now when you go to SE73 if you enter SBP00 for you device it will add the newly created Prefix
    Create a character format C1.Assign a barcode to the character format.Check the check box for the barcode.
    The place where you are using the field value use like this
    <C1> &itab-field& </C1>.
    You will get the field value in the form of barcode.
    Which barcode printer are you using ? Can you download this file and see.

    Detailed information about SAP Barcodes
    A barcode solution consists of the following:
    a barcode printer
    a barcode reader
    a mobile data collection application/program
    A barcode label is a special symbology to represent human readable information such as a material number or batch number
    in machine readable format.
    There are different symbologies for different applications and different industries. Luckily, you need not worry to much about that as the logistics supply chain has mostly standardized on 3 of 9 and 128 barcode symbologies - which all barcode readers support and which SAP support natively in it's printing protocols.
    You can print barcodes from SAP by modifying an existing output form.
    Behind every output form is a print program that collects all the data and then pass it to the form. The form contains the layout as well as the font, line and paragraph formats. These forms are designed using SAPScript (a very easy but frustratingly simplistic form format language) or SmartForms that is more of a graphical form design tool.
    Barcodes are nothing more than a font definition and is part of the style sheet associated with a particular SAPScript form. The most important aspect is to place a parameter in the line of the form that points to the data element that you want to represent as barcode on the form, i.e. material number. Next you need to set the font for that parameter value to one of the supported barcode symbologies.
    Creating Bar code:
    ) Go to T-code - SPAD -> Full Administration -> Click on Device Type -> Double click the device for which you wish to create the print control -> Click on Print Control tab ->Click on change mode -> Click the plus sign to add a row or prefix say SBP99 (Prefix must start with SBP) -> save you changes , it will ask for request -> create request and save
    2) Now when you go to SE73 if you enter SBP00 for you device it will add the newly created Prefix
    Create a character format C1.Assign a barcode to the character format.Check the check box for the barcode.
    The place where you are using the field value use like this
    <C1> &itab-field& </C1>.
    You will get the field value in the form of barcode.
