blank labels generated on UPS 2442 printer
I’ve experienced now, several times in the last two weeks, the UPS 2442 printer generates a blank label between all printed labels. I’ve tried to determine what causes this. I’ve:
Turned the computer completely off (cold boot).
Left the computer off overnight (cold boot).
Completed a “dump” on the printer (UPS 2442).
Clicked on “Apply” when changing the printer in the printer screen; NOT clicked on “Apply” when changing the printer.
I’m not sure what’s causing this; it seems to happen at random. Any feedback from anyone else regarding this? Or, is it just the UPS 2442 that’s the problem?
I’m going through a lot of labels – Olsen & Ives should like that 
Thanks,
Holly
Holly,
I suspect that the “random blank labels” are not random at all. The most likely cause is the margin size of the label. Often the default page margins are around 3/4 of an inch. Which is fine for a large piece of paper, but a real issue on a 4×6 label.
In your case I think the margins are just small enough to get all the needed info on the label, most of the time, but when there is an extra long note or barcode it pushes it off the page.
Try this:
1. open ANY web page on IE7
2. click “FILE”
3. on the menu choose “PAGE SETUP”
4. on the bottom right of the screen that pops up, Click “PRINTER”
5. choose your ZEBRA Label printer (The one you print your MDD labels on)
6. Click “OK” this takes you back to the previous screen.
7. On top left, make sure your paper size is 4×6
8. On bottom right, make sure the page margins are set to .25 inches or lower for LEFT, RIGHT, TOP, & BOTTOM.
9. Click “OK”
That should do it.
I just finished setting up all of my mailboxes, and scanned in 5 packages for one of the boxholders. The labels printed incorrectly, after which I installed the Zebra printer driver, per your video.
Now, how do I re-print the labels for the packages I already scanned in?
