text on label doesn't rotate correctly #5

Open jwronken opened 2 years ago

jwronken commented 2 years ago

Hi, I've setup my Dymo LabelWriter 400 Turbo with 99012 labels but no matter if I switch the Landscape to Portrait or change the array values array(35.73, 88.6)) to array(88.6,35.73)); the output is always printed wrong like

......................... badgexxxxx name: myname visiting: thenam etc

.........................

How do I rotate the text on the label so it shows correctly? Basically, the text need to be rotated 90% in relation to the label. I've tried (I think) all options, printed at least 40 labels but no luck, Many thanks! Jan

Hi,

In fact, changing the page orientation or inverting the array values for the page size in the badge template will change the generated PDF, but not necessarily the output of the printing job... You should check the configuration of your Dymo LabelWriter 400 Turbo. If you use system-config-printer GUI, open printer settings for your Dymo LabelWriter, then go to "Job Options" and try changing the "Orientation". By default, the setting is very probably "Automatic rotation" which does not always give the expected result. Try to set it to "Portrait" or "Landscape" and then "Apply". It should solve your issue.

Best Regards, J-D
