The Label Preview window is a "what you
see is what you get" (WYSIWYG) display. Using the label preview enables
you to precisely see how each sheet of labels will look when printed.
There are several features which make the label preview useful:
|
1 |
The up and down scrolling buttons allow you to see each of the label sheets to be printed.
Tip: To continuously scroll, press
and hold the button down until you reach the desired page.
|
|
2 |
The page scale feature
allows you to see more or less of the sample layout on your screen.
Remember also that the entire label preview window can be sized larger or
smaller just like any other sizable window.
The whole page option scales the
preview so that you can see the complete page within the window. The
page width option scales the preview so that you can see the entire
width of the sheet of labels within the window. The page height option
scales the preview so that you can see the entire height of the sheet of labels
within the window.

The paper size selector lets you choose the size of the label sheets that are
in your printer. You should make this selection before setting up the dimensions
of each label because adjusting the paper size will automatically adjust the size of the
labels to fit on the page.

When using paper with a custom size, use the width and height
items to match your paper's dimensions.
If you want to specify your dimensions in US Customary units (inches)
or metric units (millimeters), you can use the Customize Setting window to change
how units are specified. See the document
Choosing measurement units for reports and labels.

Your report's
orientation is set using this print preview feature; it is not set using
the portrait/landscape option under printer settings. Most sheets of labels
are portrait. Note that changing this selection will automatically adjust the
size of the labels to fit the page, so you'll want to make this selection
before specifying your label layout options.

6 |
You can reuse a sheet of labels that has already been partially used by
specifying how many labels are missing. Missing labels are shown with a light
gray outline in the preview window.

Labels can be arranged to go across the page or down the page.
