How do i configure microsoft word to take the correct sized labels with this printer?

I cant seem to nail it where all the address is printed out only parts of it.

[arshavin]

Can anyone help please?

I have followed guides on how to have this work alongside MS Word but it wont go along with it.

I am using this printer and i love it. It's just i know that i am not using this to its full potential for saving time.

If you have a 1500 roll, you might be able to figure something out for feeding them through the label slot in the back of the unit.

There is NO thermal ribbon on a LP 2844, they use a thermal print head...which should last for more than 100,000 labels.

The model in the YouTube video is NOT a LP 2844.

I print out about 100 labels a day...... So my printers not going to last over a year? I also purchased it used from ebay

The print heads are rated from the manufacturer at 100,000 labels. Others on the forum say they will go well beyond that, and I agree.

If you are printing 100+ a day, it would probably be wise to get an extra one as a back up.

I agree i will get myself a spare one just incase. I love this printer and so to does my wrist. In a none pen holding way of course.

Does everyone use MS Word alongside their zeeeeeebra?
