Page Size Validation

Vision checks the vertical and horizontal measurements in Print Setup to make sure the label format you define fits on the page size you specify. If not, Vision displays a message to notify you of the problem.

Left Margin + (Label Width x Number Across) + (Horizontal Gap x number of gaps) + right margin must be less than or equal to Page Width.

Top Margin + (Label Height x Number Down) + (Vertical Gap x number of gaps) + bottom margin must be less than or equal to Page Height.

Vision assumes that the right margin is the same as the left margin and that the bottom margin is the same as the top margin.

Field	Description
Type	Specify which of the following types of labels you are printing addresses on: Avery 5160 (three labels across on a standard 8.5" x 11" page) Avery 5161 (two labels across on a standard 8.5" x 11" page) Avery L7163 (two labels across on a standard 8.26" x 11.69" A4 page) User-defined (any other label format) When you select a type of label, Vision sets the other options in the Print Setup section to default measurements. If you select one of the standard types of labels, print a test page to check the alignment of the information on the labels. If the alignment is not correct, change the default measurements. If you select User-defined, take the required measurements from a sheet of labels and enter them in the Print Setup section. If you make any changes to the default settings or if you enter settings for a user-defined label, save the new measurements as a set of saved options or as a favorite, so you do not have to adjust the alignment the next time you print labels.
Top Margin	Enter the distance from the top of the page to the top of the first row of labels. Enter the distance using the unit of measure (inches or millimeters) that you entered in the Unit of Measure field on this tab. If you use inches, enter decimals for fractions. For example, enter .500 for a margin of one-half inch.
Left Margin	Enter the distance from the left edge of the page to the left edge of the first column of labels. Enter the distance using the unit of measure (inches or millimeters) that you entered in the Unit of Measure field on this tab. If you use inches, enter decimals for fractions. For example, enter .125 for a margin of one-eighth inch.
Vertical Gap	Enter the distance between the bottom of one row of labels and the top of the next row. Enter the distance using the unit of measure (inches or millimeters) that you entered in the Unit of Measure field on this tab. Enter 0.000 if there is no gap.
Horizontal Gap	Enter the distance between the right edge of one column of labels and the left edge of the next column. Enter the distance using the unit of measure (inches or millimeters) that you entered in the Unit of Measure field on this tab. If you use inches, enter decimals for fractions. For example, enter .125 for a gap of one-eighth inch. Enter 0.000 if there is no gap.
Label Height	Enter the distance from the top edge of a label to its bottom edge. Enter the distance using the unit of measure (inches or millimeters) that you entered in the Unit of Measure field on this tab. For example, if you use inches, enter 1.000 for a label that is one inch high.

Number Across	Enter the number of labels in each row.
Number Down	Enter the number of rows of labels on each page.

Page Size	From the drop-down list, select the mailing label page size. The width and height of the page size that you select in this field display in the Page Width and Page Height fields below the Page Size field. When you select the Custom size, the Width and Height fields are enabled so you can enter a width and height of your choice.
Page Width and Page Height	The Page Width and Page Height fields display the width and height of the page size that you select in the Page Size field. The measurements display in either inches or millimeters based on which one you selected in the Unit of Measure field on this tab.
