TPN – setting up the label using the Seagull printer driver

 

Go into Printers and choose the printer. Here is how to set up the Eltron 2443 thermal printer. Other Zebra/Eltron printers should be similar.

 

You should declare a custom paper size in Control Panel/Printers/File/Server Properties for the labels and the notes, call these by names you will easily recognise, like TPN LABEL. The labels are 99mm x 198mm and the notes are 210mm x 148mm. A slight variation in these sizes should be OK.

 

 

 

Click on Printing Preferences

 

 

Choose Page Setup

 

 

Choose NEW

 

 

Create a label called TPN with the above settings.

 

 

OK this.

 

Now go into ADVANCED.

 

Choose PRINTING DEFAULTS. Go into PAGE SETUP and select the TPN papersize.

 

 

OK this.

 

If after this you still cannot print labels then set the printer to be ANY A4 printer and try to test the print. If you get a label then there is nothing wrong with the program and you have a problem with the printer or printer driver. In this case you should contact the people who supplied it to you.
