Label Printer - rotating print data to match printer

[quailcreek]

Hi,
I'm having a problem printing to a Dymo 450 Turbo label printer. I have a sub stack set to 180,54 (2 3/4 x 3/4) which is the size of the labels. The printer out-puts the label long-ways. If I do a PDF preview the data looks like I would expect with the data the right size and horizontal in the screen. When I send to the printer I get 2 labels coming out with just a small horizontal a piece of the barcode on the joint between the 2 labels. I don't see anything in the printer settings to rotate the the print data on its way to the printer. Is there a way to handle this in LC?

Code: Select all

 put the uBarcode of this cd into theBarcode
   if theBarcode is empty then exit to top
   
   --   put "*" & theBarcode & "*" into fld "barcode" of cd 1 of stack "PrintBarcode" -- code 3 of 9
   put theBarcode into fld "barcode" of cd 1 of stack "PrintBarcode" -- code 128
   put fld "BCLabel" into fld "Description" of cd 1 of stack "PrintBarcode"
   
   --   open inv stack "PrintBarcode"
   open stack "PrintBarcode"
   set the printmargins to 1,1,1,1-- L, T, R, B
   set the printpapersize to 180,54 -- 2.75x.75 inches
   
   open printing with dialog
   if the result is not "Cancel" then
      print cd 1 of stack "PrintBarcode"
      close printing
      
      close stack "PrintBarcode"
   end if

Hi Tom, in your substack you could take a snapshot, rotate it and then try printing...

Have you tried :
set the printPaperOrientation to "Landscape"
? If so, what were the results?

Hi SparkOut,
With set the printPaperOrientation to "Landscape" the preview shows the paper reoriented but the print data is still portrait. So this does get a step closer.
