Print labels in Aspen

When printing any kind of address label report, there is a setting in Adobe Acrobat that must be changed for the print to align properly with the label grid.

Adobe Acrobat employs Page Scaling when you print a document so that it fits within the limits of your printer’s margins. Most printers cannot print to the left and right edges of a page, so the default setting in Adobe is Shrink to Printable Area. This is fine for most reports but can cause trouble with labels where positioning is critical.

To correct this problem, change your settings for Page Scaling to None and Zoom to 100% when you print your labels.

Note: You don’t have to change the page scaling back to Shrink to Printable Area for other reports unless you find that some parts of the document are getting cut off. Whenever printing labels, though, check to make sure the Page Scaling is set to None and the Zoom is set to 100%.
