Printing Supplement Labels in TRAYCARE

 

1.      The label print is set up for an Avery 5160 address label, Avery 8160 address label, or the equivalent, available at most office supply stores. They come on 8 ½” x 11” sheets, 3 labels across and 10 down.

 



2.      Plan your label printing to minimize wasted labels. You can vary your Print Instructions (From and To on Name, and From and To on Unit) to limit the number of labels you are printing. For example, suppose you have a Unit with 70 residents, all of whom get supplements for this printing, so you set the Unit parameters to get the specific unit, and a to z on names.

a.      Print the labels. You will get 2 full sheets of labels and one sheet with 20 labels remaining unused.

b.      Handle the labels sheets carefully so that they will feed through the printer on the second usage. Do not try to use labels if the sheet has been folded, or spilt on. Remember that in removing labels the label itself should remain flat, and the backing bent enough to remove the label.

c.      On the next printing, set the name parameters to get no more than 20 labels. E.g.: a to j. (Use preview while you experiment to find the right setting). Turn the partially used label sheet over and put it on top of the stack of label sheets. The labels print left to right, and then down, so any unused labels on a partially used row will be at the beginning of the row.

d.      Print the 20 labels.

e.      Reset the name settings, E.g.: k to z and print the remaining labels.
