Budget Envelope labels. Two questions

Post by John Dykema »

I just printed our budget box labels for handing them out at our congregational meeting. I've always printed them at home on a inkjet printer. Since networking, I have to do it at the office. I use a laserjet, HP 2100M with laser 2 column labels, 20 per sheet. I select all the correct parameters and print.
It seems like the printing is too high on the label. At times the member's name actually is just a hair above the edge. These are Avery labels, so I trust them to be right on. Is there a way I can adjust the printing down a notch?
Second question:
I had an bad time with the label sheets in the drawer of the printer. It jammed on me a couple times and fed two sheets at once a few times. I ended up opening up the front flipdown and hand fed them one sheet at a time. This worked fine but is there a better way for me to have done these labels on this laserjet?
We are using PC+ v.11 with the latest upgrades, Win XP Pro, and 5 networked pc's.
We have 569 communicant and baptized members.

FWIW ... I've been using standard Avery 5160 (3 across) labels with Powerchurch for years printing with a LaserJet without an issue. The only change I had to make with the format of the label in Powerchurch was adjust the Font to Arial.

I've also had to make sure that the label sheets are 'fanned' before putting them in the drawer to insure that the sheets do not stick, and that the printer properties are setup for labels rather than normal paper before starting Powerchurch.
