When setting up the addresses, I check to see if they will fit on the label. I suspect that there must be some other vendor in Europe, but I don't know who that would be. If you have an Avery(tm) or Dymo product that I haven't defined, send me the specs and I'll add it.Īlso, if there is another brand of labels that you use, send me the relevant data and I'll add that as well. For example, if I have 3 columns of labels, label five is the second label in the second row. So you count the missing labels, starting at the upper left, and counting across, and then down. If you have a partially used sheet of labels, you might want to use it up.

Paper size, orientation, borders on the printable area (many printers will not print right up to the edge of the paper), where the labels live on the page and how big they are, overall x-y shift of page, whether or not to print PostNET barcode, font, fontsize, units (english or metric), which Avery(tm) product code to use, and where the first label starts. You can also control the fonts on a per-field basis. You can define new fields, and you can define how those fields land on a label. By default, I have set up a US-centric address definition : firstname, lastname, street address, city, state, zipcodeīut with version 2.0, you can now create your own definition. The third output is the labels themselves. Don't try to line up the dashed lines with label edges - it won't work. If the edges of some boxes come out dashed, that means that the non-printing border cuts off the end of the label, so I will adjust the printing area appropriately. If you slide in the arrow direction, that is a positive adjustment. As you hold the test sheet over a sheet of labels, hold it up to the light and slide the test sheet so that the boxes match the edges of the labels. This means that the printable area of your printer is too small to utilize the last row of labels. Note that sometimes you will get a message at the bottom of the sheet saying "Bottom gap too large, last row cannot be printed".

If not, tweak the parameters until they do. Take this sheet and line it up with a sheet of labels to see if they actually match perfectly.
Mailtags alternatives series#
This output is a series of boxes drawn on the page, meant to outline the edges of all the mailing labels. The intent is for you to output this page first, and simply read off the relevant page dimensions directly. This is a pair of annotated axes, either in inches or centimeters, centered on the page and covering the whole page in X and Y directions. The first output is the calibration sheet. This module is designed with this in mind. In my experience, printing mailing labels is a matter of tweaking parameters to get them all to fit properly on the page. The module has three distinct output modes. Also creates PostScript(tm) code for calibrating and testing mailing label printing. Flexible enough to tackle other printing tasks, basically anything requiring a set fields be printed on a regular grid. Modules for creating PostScript(tm) files of mailing address labels, to be printed on standard adhesive-backed mailing label stock. In most cases, the word corresponds to the name of a form-tag, and it will be replaced with the form input through it.PostScript::MailLabels - Modules for creating PostScript(tm) files of mailing address labels. Checkboxes, radio buttons, and menus ( checkbox, checkbox*, radio, select and select*)Ī tag in a mail template (mail-tag) is much simpler.Number fields ( number, number*, range and range*).Text fields ( text, text*, email, email*, tel, tel*, url, url*, textarea and textarea*).Options can’t come before name, and values can’t come before options. Note that order of those parts is important. It is possible that values can be used for other purposes as well it depends on the type of the tag. In most cases, values are used for specifying default values. Options specify details of behavior and appearance. Most form tags have a name, but there are exceptions. Name is used for identifying the input field. Type is the most important factor, as it defines what type of HTML element will replace itself, and what kind of input is expected through it. Components of a form tag are able to be separated into four parts: type, name, options, and values. Form-tag syntaxĪ tag in a form template (form-tag) will be replaced with an HTML snippet which represents an input field when the form is rendered. For example, you use in your form template, and in your email template. The syntax of the two types are completely different.
