Eltron 2746 problem

rbuser

Hi,

I'm having a problem with printing to an Eltron 2746 printer. I can use
Word to print a label to the printer but when I use RB I get a blank label
..

I'm using Delphi 4.0...

Any ideas on what I should look for??

Thanks...

Please make sure that you are using RB6.03 and the latest printer driver.
Also please make sure you are using the Label Template wizard to create the
layout for your partitucular label.

Steven,
the Eltron is one of the easier label printers to write to
but to help you out
it will most defenately be a problem with the page size and margin settings
try setting the page size to that what is defined at the driver level
then set the margins to 0
that should do the trick
if you have further problems drop me a note and i'll try to find what i did
to get it working
also try to use the eltron printer fonts (although the eltron driver can
work with truetype fonts as far as i remember)

If its any help, I have had this printer working with RB in D5. I did find I
had to use Custom Page size and fiddle with the margins a bit. From memory I
had to install the Eltron Fonts, and the vendor didn't initially supply
these.

The margin settings worked ... I'm using True Type Fonts..

Thanks for all your help..
