Label Printer - rotating print data to match printer
Posted: Sun Apr 24, 2016 7:10 pm
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?
