Mailing Labels:
The following instructions only pertain to organizations who have had problems printing labels. While this particular walkthough is for Adobe Reader version 5.0 and 6.0, it is strongly recommended that you have version 6.0 of Adobe Reader. This is the version that all of the reports are formatted for, and we cannot guarantee that older versions will print correctly.
Follow these steps to correct mailing label printing issues:
In Adobe 5.0
1. Run a Reminder Request from the system as you normally would.
2. Once the report is finished, select the Mailing Labels as your Output Option. Wait for this to complete.
3. Open the Mailing Labels once the process is complete, Adobe should open and display the labels just like usual.
4. Click on the printer icon that is on the Adobe toolbar, and the print window within Adobe should open. Do not click on the print button in Internet Explorer, which is next to the Back, Forward, Home, and Refresh buttons.
5. In the print window look for the "Copies and Adjustments" section in the middle right of the window. In this section there are three check boxes that need to be un-checked... If any of these boxes are checked, click on the checkmark beside them to deselect the box.
· "Shrink oversized pages to paper size"
· "Expand small pages to paper size"
· "Auto-rotate and center pages"
6. Click OK to print the document.
Note: Once the boxes are un-checked they should remain un-checked so do not worry about checking them every time.
In Adobe 6.0+
1. Run a Reminder Request from the system as you normally would.
2. Once the report is finished, select the Mailing Labels as your Output Option. Wait for this to complete.
