Odd Label Printing Behavior

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by

We use a Dymo label printer for our barcodes. We have a custom label design that I will include below. When going through the steps to print a label in Store Operations Manager (Database -> Items -> Properties -> Labels -> Next -> *select label* -> Next -> Finish), the barcode at first shows up as stretched and will print as if in portrait mode. Upon using either "Change printer properties" or "Change page properties" and simply clicking ok (without making any changes-- Landscape is already selected), it then shows up correctly and prints correctly. Any ideas as to how I could make it so that I don't have to click "Change x properties" and "Ok" every time I want a label?

Thanks in advance!

Code:

'Dymo small

LabelName = "Dymo small"

Cols = 1
RowSpace = 0

    Have you tried setting the dymo print driver to default to landscape?

    Your label definition above uses landscape (orientation=1) and by default the dymo printer is setup to use portrait.  

    Steps to change the print driver to default to landscape.

    Go to computer where the Dymo printer is connected.

    Go to Start | Settings | Devices and Printers.

    This can also be found in Control Panel.

    Right-click on the Dymo printer.

    Click Printer Properties. Click on the General tab:

    Click Printing Preferences.

    Set to Landscape.

    Click OK.

    Click the Advanced tab.

    Click Printing Defaults (on the bottom left).

    Set to Landscape.

    Click OK.

    Click Apply and OK until you return back to the printer window.
