General Printer Settings

Printer settings are available through your printer's Preferences menu. For information on changing the printer settings, refer to your printer user manual.
1. Set print quality to the Medium setting, which is also referred to as the Text & Images setting. Higher print quality produces more attractive badges, but takes longer to printer.
2. Set paper dimensions to User Defined. Name the custom paper Avery 4x6. Set the width to 4 inches and the height to 6 inches. If Units are set to 0.01 inches, then the settings should be 400 width by 600 height.
3. Set paper orientation to portrait.
4. Turn off any printer notification messages.
5. Badges should be stacked in the paper feed tray with the 4" side leading into the printer.

Note: 2940 and 2941 Self-Adhesive Badge products should not be used on silk, leather, plastic, vinyl or suede. Please consult the reverse side of the 2949 and 2950 badge sheets for printer feeding instructions.

Self- Expiring Labels
Avery Self-Expiring Labels are designed to be used as an indicator when an item is void. When activated, red diagonal stripes will appear behind the red V within 1 day. Use the following steps to activate and stick the label(s) to the desired surface.

1. Gently peel the label with the red V up from the label at the upper left hand corner, marked with a red indicator mark. Do not remove completely.
2. Remove the center lining in the direction of the red arrows and discard. Be careful not to remove the portion with the red V.
3. Position the label, with the red V, back over the red stripes.
4. Apply the label to an Avery badge with the red V facing you.
Within 1 day the red diagonal stripes will appear behind the red V to indicate that label has expired.


Working with Photos in Microsoft® Word
Microsoft Word 2002/XP, Microsoft Word 2000 and Microsoft Word 97

• Edit/rotate photos before inserting.
• Select a photo that is the same orientation (landscape/portrait) as the template cell to avoid distortion.

Word 97: Click the Position tab. Check Float over text only and uncheck all others. Click the Wrapping tab and select None. Click OK.
