Label writer issue

Trying to print Avery 5160 labels on version 6.1.0.1066 and it keeps printing to the outside the page by a 1/4 inch. I need a way to center it and get it to print correctly. Any help is appreciated.
Thanks

Lots of problems in the "old" 6.1.x version... I remember label printing being one of them.
You might try to modify the label template and re-set the margin.
Unfortunately, you are on an unsupported version of SalesLogix and should upgrade to either 6.2.6 or 7.0.1.

| Just currious are there any updates to 6.1 that are available that could possibly fix this? I think with the Problems with 6.1 they dropped supporting the product and updates, but I think it may be worth fixing |

SP3, HF11 was the last update to 6.1 a LONG time ago. There will never be any more updates/changes/fixes to 6.1/6.0/ and 5.2
V6.2.x and v7.0.x are the only supported versions.
For legal reasons it's not possible for someone to "pass" you any available updates unless you have a support/maintenance contract w/Sage. However, if you ar enot "current" you can talk w/your BP and have them obtain any/all updates that were released (for 6.1) before you were no longer current.

Christian,
I had this same problem at one time as well on 6.2.0.1474. Here's what you need to do:
Login to the Architect. Modify and test the report altered to your needs by moving the margins over or moving the contents of the report over on the page. Re-release the report from the Architect and retest.
If it still does not print correctly then you might have a printer driver issue on your hands.

fiogf49gjkf0d David Thanks for info. Onother question If you import Data from a CSV format and it drops off the 0 on CT address how do you add 0 on those zipcodes? |

fiogf49gjkf0d Your zip code question. By default, cells in Excel default a General type which makes numbers 'proper' as in the case of zips like 08080 or 04511
The best thing to do is import the CSV using the Excel import wizard and when you get to the step where you define the columns, change the postal code column to be text. This will prevent the 0 from being dropped.

fiogf49gjkf0d Another elegant solution... put two command buttons on the Contact View and call the following for a Dymo Label Writer
'=====================
'SEI Customizations
'=====================
Sub PrintAddress(Sender)
Dim q
Dim Labelfile
Dim strDescription
Dim Handle
'Setup the objects
Set objBasic = Application.BasicFunctions
Labelfile = "g:\dymo label\label files\sei mailing label.lwt"
Set DymoAddIn = CreateObject("DYMO.DymoAddIn")
Set DymoLabels = CreateObject("DYMO.DymoLabels")
DymoAddIn.Open(Labelfile)
'Setup the label
strCRLF = chr(13) & chr(10)
strDescription = lblCurrentAddress.Caption
' get the contact and account from the Contact view
strBusiness =lueAccount.text
strContact = nedContact.Text
DymoLabels.SetField "Address", strContact & strCRLF & strBusiness & strCRLF & mmoAddress.Text
'Now we print the label
q=DymoAddIn.Print(1,True)
'Kill the objects
Set ObjBasic = Nothing
Set DymoAddIn = Nothing
Set DymoLabels = Nothing
End Sub
Sub PrintFileLabel(Sender)
Dim q
Dim Labelfile
Dim strDescription
Dim Handle
'Setup the objects
Set objBasic = Application.BasicFunctions
Labelfile = "g:\dymo label\label files\sei folder label.lwl"
Set DymoAddIn = CreateObject("DYMO.DymoAddIn")
Set DymoLabels = CreateObject("DYMO.DymoLabels")
DymoAddIn.Open(Labelfile)
'Setup the label
strCRLF = chr(13) & chr(10)
strDescription = lblCurrentAddress.Caption
' get the contact and account from the Contact view
strBusiness =lueAccount.text
strContact = nedContact.Text
strWork = ppeWorkPhone.Text
strWork = "Wk: ("+Mid(strWork,1,3)+")"+Mid(strWork,4,3)+"-"+Mid(StrWork,7)
strMobile = ppeMobilePhone.Text
If strMobile <>"" Then
strMobile ="Mbl: ("+Mid(strMobile,1,3)+")"+Mid(strMobile,4,3)+"-"+Mid(StrMobile,7)
End If
DymoLabels.SetField "Address", strBusiness & strCRLF & strContact & strCRLF & strWork & strCRLF &strMobile
DymoLabels.SetField "Address_1", strBusiness & strCRLF & strContact & strCRLF & strWork & strCRLF &strMobile
'Now we print the label
q=DymoAddIn.Print(1,True)
'Kill the objects
Set ObjBasic = Nothing
Set DymoAddIn = Nothing
Set DymoLabels = Nothing
End Sub

I altered the 6150 label report. Changed the margins and ran the test. It looks OK now but when you log back in and try the write/label command it say"Error not erough storage is available to complete this operation. Any ideas? |
