Setting the Printer Used to Generate Labels and Reports

When LDMS generates reports or labels, it uses the driver for your printer to determine paper size and orientation. LDMS needs to know what printer you are using before generating any labels. If this crucial step is not performed, labels will not be sized correctly for your label printer, even if you select the correct printer to actually print them.

Important:

If you want to modify the paper size or orientation for your printer, this must be done in your Microsoft Windows® printer settings. If you need assistance setting up printing hardware, contact LDMS User Support for assistance.

Configuring the printer used to generate labels and reports:

  1. Select Administration > Printer Configuration from the LDMS menu bar.

  2. From the Report Printer list on the left, select the printer's driver that should be used to generate reports.

  3. From the Label Printer list on the right, select the printer's driver that should be used to generate labels.

  4. Click the OK button.
