Avery 5160 Labels (only print on 1 column)
Anita Howard
1 column at a time only. Is this possible, and if so, how?
I changed the settings to 1 column only, but it requires
the full sheet to be inserted to print correctly.

How are you inserting the information into the labels? Is it by mailmerge?
Post back to the newsgroup with that information and we may then ne able to
give you some instructions that are relevant to the what you are doing.
Please respond to the newsgroups for the benefit of others who may be
interested.
Hope this helps

If you printer will handle such a narrow strip - most won't - then
simply setup a new label format based upon the strip, and not on what
it began life as. This means a custom paper size and a single row of
labels.

I can understand wanting to print a few or even one label at a time,
which can be done, but why would you want to tear apart label paper? I
don't see what advantage a third-of-a-sheet of paper would have over a
full.

Would there be any purpose in buying small sheets? You can print on
only some of the positions on a regular 8.5 x 11 sheet, and then later
you can run that sheet through again and print on other still blank
positions.
I don't see why anybody would want small sheets, either user-torn or
pre-cut.
If somebody is regularly printing one label at a time, then a
dedicated label printer might be in order.

would quickly understand that re-running a label blank through the printer
is not a good idea. It would be *much* cheaper to waste a few labels.

advice not to do it, I decided to risk it when I realized everyone else in
the world was doing it. It may make some difference what size the labels
are; the ones I rerun are usually just six to a page (shipping labels).
Also, if I have used half the labels on a sheet, I do sometimes remove the
used backing (some labels are perforated to facilitate this).

on site, the issue was both apparent and costly - especially when
replacement drums then cost over £100 a throw! The problem is that laser
printers fuse the toner by heat and that heat affects the adhesive. The
problem is exaccerbated by the tortuous paper path that some printers
employ.

of a laser, not to mention that a lot of the newer printers use lower
temperatures (this in itself can cause problems--I learned the hard way not
to run a copy made with my LJ 3100 (MFD, which uses low heat) through my
(high-heat) LJ 4: melting toner all over the place!).
