Re: 3UP LAbels Revisited

Been there.  But its been awhile.  I do remember that I ended up externally
describing the printer file, printed a page at a time(An array of 66 lines
as I remember it), and had to avoid making the solution dependant on the
user's PC printer settings.. 

The problem had to do with an attempt by the computer to print 66 lines on a
page, and doing a slight reduce-to-fit.  Any adjustments you make on the
printer side just obfuscate your problem.  The solution is all on the
iSeries side.  If you don't get an answer here let me know and I will go
back and find out what I did (its been a couple of years, at least.  Maybe
even 5)

Subject: 3UP LAbels Revisited
 
I'm in need of converting our lagacy RPG (AS400) label program from a
tractor fed 3 up/across label to a laser cut sheet (Avery 5260).
 
Each label down the sheet creeps further up the label. By the time the
end of the sheet is reached, the first print line is either on the
margin or the previous label.
 
Have tried several different approaches but all attempts seem to yield
disasterous results or the "creeping" affect.
 
Can someone assist ???
 
 
 
Thanks in advance, Tom
