3-12 FileMaker Pro User’s Guide
For all labels layouts, you specify the data to print on each label. For a
custom labels layout, specify the number of labels across the page and the
label dimensions. FileMaker Pro then divides the body of the layout into the
number of labels across the page. The leftmost label is a sample of a single
label on a layout, and the rest of the labels across the page are dimmed.
Setting up to print on labels
Before you set up a Labels layout, select a printer and set it up for the
size of your label stock.
1 If you print on a laser or ink jet printer, set the paper size to match
your sheet of labels.
1 If you use continuous-feed stock (like tractor-feed labels) and a dot
matrix printer, create a custom paper size equal to the height of one
label. Use a custom paper size to minimize the back-and-forth
movement of the platen and save label paper.
