Printing
According to the kind of template, several options are added to the Print dialog: Printing only the current record, only the marked records, all records, print from an initial to another one, etc.
While printing labels, a pop-up menu in the print dialog allows to set the first label to use on the page. The menu reflects the actual layout of the template:
Selecting Which Label to Use in a Sheet
This feature lets you reuse a partially printed labels sheet. Do not reuse the page too early, else the electrostatic charge on the paper may jam the printer. Avery™ labels are not meant to be reprinted more than once or twice. However, most of the time, it will work fine.
In all Print dialogs, an extra text box allows you to change the number of the first page. In the labels templates, the page number is used as the label number (see the figure above). This feature is useful to reprint only part of an address book or a list of cards or labels.
Printing Identical Labels
To repeat the same label on the whole page, check both Print only current record and Repeat on the whole page. In this particular mode, the starting label pop-up menu is disabled and the whole page is always printed. Use the Copies: field of the Print dialog to set the number of labels sheets you want.
Verifying Templates, Printing Cropping Marks
If you define your own labels template, you may want to verify it without wasting labels sheets. Check the Print cropping marks option in the Page Setup dialog and try printing on normal paper.
The paper can be overlaid on the labels to verify by transparency that the cropping marks are correctly matching the labels position. Then, uncheck the cropping mark option before printing the actual labels.
This option is available in all types of templates. It will be also useful to create a pocket-sized address book made with sub-pages, like an US-Letter paper size split in 4 sub-pages. You can print with the marks and use them as guides to cut the sub-pages.
