Default Labels from label printer - 06-10-2005 , 11:54 AM






Jeez, here I am again, feeling like an idiot.

I have recently upgraded to FMPro 7, on MacOS 10.4.1. We have two Dymo
LabelWriters (a 300 and a 330 Turbo) that are essential to our work
flow. We print letters in batches of up to 25, but usually less. Sheets
of labels would have lots of waste.

The LabelWriter 300 will print a label from its own software just fine,
but when I try to print a label from FMPro it comes out blank. The paper
advances, but nothing prints. There is no option in FMPro for the Avery
4150 label that I use, so I've had to make my own. I have tried using 1)
my old label layout that I used in FMPro 3 with the same label printer;
2) a custom label sized to the Dymo label (no margins; with and without
small header); and 3: a label created from a blank layout. Nothing ever
prints.

Incidentally, I can't get the 330 Turbo to work at all--Printer Setup
Utility crashes when it connects to it. It uses the same
software/drivers as the 300, which are the most current available from
Dymo.

Unless I get some bright ideas here, I guess I'll look into Brother
label printers and hope they are more up to date and compatible. It's
really irritating to have my database/new computer migration be held up
by a label printer.

I am not able to help you there, but I had problems with a Dymo 320 to
print my FMS 55 labels thru a Win2k Pro workstation with FMP 5, and I
got good support from the Dymo hot line. Did you call them ? Finally I
got it work, but I would have a hard time to tell you how and why ...
