Reports :: Labels Printing On Half Used Label Paper?
Jun 10, 2013I have a report that should print on labels ready to be stick on a book, but how can I tell the report to start from 3th row 2nd column so I do not waste any labels?

View RepliesI've created labels in my database and when I print them on a label printer, I get a blank label in between my printed labels. I've checked the printer settings and properties and can't find anything. I've also checked the database properties and can't find anything. Is there something in the database that I'm missing?
View 6 Replies View RelatedI am making labels to stick on containers that we're shipping out. Some shipments will have only 1 container and some will have more than 1.Can I have it repeat a label if there are more than 1 container for an order?
For example:
Shipment 1 has 3 containers. The label says "3 x DM" and it will make one label.
Can I set it somehow to print that label three times? What about adding incremental text, e.g. 1 of 3, 2 of 3, 3 of 3?
I currently have a set of labels that works flawlessly - it has 2 columns and 20 rows. I have a form that I can select which label to start printing on so I use up a full sheet with no waste. [working labels attachment]
The labels I'm trying to print on now are 1.25" x 10", as seen HERE. Since I cannot rotate the whole report 90 degrees, I set up the labels to have one column with six rows instead of 6 columns with one row (landscape instead of portrait).
I copied the entire label printing process from the known working report. For my new set of labels, the label prints great if I have just one record, and/or I start at label #1. If I want to start at label #6, it just prints slightly lower on the page instead of at label #6 position (which is the bottom of the page). [label at #6 position attachment].
I have a small receiving inspection database that prints lables for each item received. However when they use the program on a different computer the lables do not print on the lable printer at that location.

I use ACCESS, but I do not know SQL. .
I have a non standard size report (for printing labels)
The report is just over 10cm wide and just over 15cm deep.
I have solved the blank pages caused by exceeding the width but I'm still getting a blank page when I move some data down. I am still within 15 cm but it's throwing me a blank page. Even if I extend the in design mode depth to say 20cm (ie the height in Detail) it's throwing a blank page (I can see this in print preview).
I initially set up the report (it's a long time ago so memory fades) using the label wizard setting up a label 4*6 inches (10.16 * 15.24 cms) and it is this i'm trying to tweak. Is there a property I'm missing somewhere?
I have to print address labels. 10 x 3.8 cm labels 2 per row 14 per page on an A4 paper. Pretty straightforward one should say. But no. I play around with the margins, column heights and widths, row and column spacing page size wasting time. Is there a hidden and not documented relationship between those elements? For example how is the column height and row spacing linked together? How is this normally done in a professional way?
View 3 Replies View RelatedHi,
I have a two page report (it is formatted to always be exactly two pages) and I need to print it on the front (page one of the report) and on the back (page two of the report) of the same piece of paper. The less user input the better.
Is this an Access thing or a printer thing (We have a HP 6P).
Anyone doing this ???
Thanks
Mike
I need to have the last page of a report in access print to an 8.5x11 instead of 11x17 (the rest of the report has to print 11x17). No clue how to set it up so it's automatic...

View 2 Replies View RelatedI am looking to set up a database where I have a table of records that correspond labels to product numbers. The product numbers may have anywhere from 1 to 30 labels that correspond to them, and I want the user to have a form where they search by a product number and then the labels that correspond to that product number are printed out on an Avery label.
Here is how the main data table will look: (everything is simply arbitrary to illustrate)
For example: If I type in "1111" into the form - the labels that print would be AA, AB, AC, AD, & AE
I know how to set up labels to print using forms, but the only way I can think of this working is by looking up the product number in the table, then copying the row of labels into another table (let's call it "labels to print") and pasting them in a column, then printing to the labels, and clearing the "labels to print" table for the next time.
Is this the correct route to go? If so, how do I go about looking up the product number in the main table and copy them to the "labels to print table".
Hello everyone! I'm trying to print a single label to a Zebra printer, but I have ran into a small problem. I'm using a checkbox to select the records and a query to catch the record I want printed as a label. I print the label and deselect the record I printed and all works fine. I print the next record and the previous record prints on top the current record. If I turn off the printer in between printing labels all works fine. Any help would be a great because I going to wear out the on/off button on my printer
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have a table that contains a lot of different information regarding to mailing.
There are columns for Name, Address, Address2, Address 3, City, State, Zip, Country, Base Name, etc.
Some units will only required parts of the above information. I'm using the Name as an identifier in the DB only and Address is the beginning of content that I want to use.
My issue stems out of the fact that the City, State, and Country are not always required but the Base Name, may be used in lieu of the City.
I was looking at making checkboxes next to each of the columns on the form on the field and then using those checkboxes somehow to create a report for Mailing Labels.
I'm just not sure how to set this up.
I need to try and create a simple form that a user enters data into and then hits a print button and the text they entered is printed in a particular way.
i.e. they type in someones name, job and company into 3 fields and then hit a print button and this then prints :
PERSONS NAME
JOB TITLE
COMPANY
We also need the print to be formatted a particular way but that is another issue

Iv got a form with various data on it. The data comes from a table.I wish to print the detils on my form onto a label (10cmx12cm) as it appears on my form. I understand the best way to do this is via a report. So, i have created my report from the same table that my form gets its data from. I have laid my report out (visually) in the style i wish to appear on my printed label. Then i have added a cmd button to my form, which carries out the 'print report' code. However, this code sends all the records in my table to the printer, where as i only want to print the current record. Any suggetsions?
This is my current print code behind the cmd button on my form:
Private Sub PrintLabel_Click()
On Error GoTo Err_PrintLabel_Click
Dim stDocName As String
stDocName = "PalletLabel"
DoCmd.OpenReport stDocName, acNormal
Exit_PrintLabel_Click:
Exit Sub
Err_PrintLabel_Click:
MsgBox Err.Description
Resume Exit_PrintLabel_Click
End Sub
I am using a cartesian query to create multiple copies of a record to use for printing labels.
Here's my query that produces the cartesian result:
SELECT tblCount.CountID, tblDeliveryOrders.DeliveryOrderNum, CurrentCY.Deliveryorderlineitemnum, CurrentCY.Quant, CurrentCY.UOM1, tblContainerSizeCodes.SizeCode, tblContainerTypeCodes.TypeCode, CurrentCY.WasteDescription, tblEtidDodaac.EtidDodaac, CurrentCY.ETIDDocNum, CurrentCY.Pounds, tblEPAWasteCodes.[EPAWasteCodes(1B)]
[Code] ....
This works just fine in creating the desired result - EXCEPT I don't get all the records.
When I remove the 'cartesian table', and right join everything, then I get the correct results. If I keep everything as-is and reintroduce the cartesian table, then I get an error about there being an ambiguous outer join.
I was having trouble just setting each report with a particular print method - for some reason they just kept forgetting their individual settings and resorting to default on the machine.
This meant reports were printing on the wrong paper, or the wrong size paper, the wrong orientation and some times refusing to print if it couldn't find the paper (which is useful in runtime as it doesn't display error messages)
So I used Reports(rpt).printer properties (I forgot where I found this) to hard code the printer properties into each print command... this meant I had to use another function to insert the variables.
So all I had to do was say:
Code:
PrintMe("Invoice","InvoiceID",iID)
and a report would print to exactly how I wanted... but it's just too slow!
See attached for full code, I have a niggling feeling it may be the function: PrinterOK, to make sure the printer exists or not.
Code:
Function PrinterOK(sPrinterName As String) As Boolean
Dim MyPrinter As Printer
PrinterOK = False
For Each MyPrinter In Printers
If MyPrinter.DeviceName = sPrinterName Then
PrinterOK = True
Exit Function
End If
Next
End Function
I know it's the printing code, because if I stop the printing and just preview then it shows up almost instantly.
Ok, I've run into two serious problems in testing, and another question that I'm hoping you guys can
help me solve. Below my questions is the code used for making the search query/email program.
Problem #1: In testing, this search program only is working for me for new data. Any data that I had
in the database prior to implimenting the program will not move past the search stage. In other words, I
will do a search, it will find the emails and bring them up in a box, I hit "OK" and it gets hung up and won't move on
to opening up a new Email with the addresses implemented. However if I enter new data in the database, say with a weird
name so its only bringing up the new entry and no old entry, it works fine and opens up the new email.
Problem #2: Items I would like to search like check boxes. Say I have a check box "Donor", this is listed in the database
as a 1 or 0. I can't have my boss searching 1 or 0. Is there a way to change this to, say, being recorded in the DB
as a Yes or No. That way he would check to search "Donor" and type Yes in the search box and this would search the DB
"Donor" column for "Yes" and bring up the results.
New Question: My boss and I reviewed the form as it is so far yesterday. He was asking if I could add a Print Labels option
in there. I'm wondering instead of adding another seperate search box and all that mess for a labels search print, can I rather
add two check boxes, one labeled "Print Labels" and the other labeled "Email". What this would do is depending on the check box
you selected it would either run the search and email like we have it, or clicking the other check box would run the search and print
labels.

I print a report onto labels (Avery 5960: 3 columns of 10 labels on a letter sized piece of paper). The report and labels print fine BUT...
I need physical page breaks between certain sections. When I click on "keep whole group together on one page" in the "group by" section of the report, it starts a new COLUMN of labels (which Access sees as a new page), but does not force an actual new piece of paper.
How can I force a real page break?
Can we change the orientation to 45 degrees in a label ?
View 1 Replies View RelatedHi,
I have a command button that opens a report. The report has many subforms in it. I am sending open args which existingstewardship. I want one of the labels of the labels to be visible if the me.openargs = "existingstewardship". the code is not working. I have tried to debug when I do this I have found the open args are null and I am wondering if the open args are null is this because they were sent to the main report from the command button and the subforms in the main report do not get passed the open args.
Does anyone have any idea ? how I could make the box visible or not visible in subreport from the command button. The other option I have would be two different reports. Thanks PWF
1Create a report called rptCustomersByGender. The report should:
a.Print your company's name at the top of the first page only
b.Print your data labels at the top of each page
c.Group your data by gender
d.Display all the customer information in the detail section
e.The customers should display in ascending numerical order by Last Name
f.Below the list of Female customers, it should say: "Total number of Female Customers:" and then the total number of female customers should display. Do the same for the male customers
g.The page number should display at the bottom of every page
h.The list of Female and Male customers should each print starting on a separate page.
i.Make sure the report runs without producing any errors and looks professional.
I created a report and grouped it by gender but I can't do step F. creating two different labels for each group..
I have created a report to display a bill of materials (boms). The report works as I have designed. I have also figured out how to filter the report using the docmd.openreport vbasic call with filters. This works fine. I use a form to select the filtering I need in the form of 2 Listboxes populated from tables. The form opens, the report generates and displays in preview mode. What I cannot do is the change the title text (Text Label on the report Header). I would like to use the selected items in the listboxes as sources of text for these controls on the report so I can use the report over and over for different boms. ANy help would be greatly appreciated! Vbasic I hope!
View 1 Replies View RelatedI am having a problem setting the margins to print labels in access. I go to page setup and change the margin size click ok and nothing happens to the label and when I go back to page setup the margins have returned to their original values. I have already selected the label printer and labels that im using.So im baffled as to why it wont accept margin values that don't cause the label to be printed over 3 labels.
