6. In the layout, adjust or delete the header, if necessary.
See “Resizing parts” on page 3-36 and “Deleting layout parts” on
page 3-36.
7. Adjust the margins, if necessary.
See “Setting margins for labels” on page 3-16.
8. To enhance or modify the layout, see the appropriate sections later in
this chapter.
Note Depending on the labels you choose, the layout may contain a blank
header. If the first label starts at the top edge of the paper, set the header
height to the height of the label so that printing starts on the second row of
labels on the page.
If you’re using Do this
A laser or ink jet printer Set the header to the top of the first row of labels. The
layout header compensates for the nonprintable area.
If the labels are small, try setting the header to the top of
the second row of labels. FileMaker Pro won’t print on
the first row of labels, but it prints in the correct position
on subsequent labels.
A dot matrix printer Delete the header, if there is one. Click the part label, and
then press Backspace.
