Computype Three Label Set - 1005544-1 #69

This is untested, as we don't have a dedicated label printer or this label stock. If its close to what you need, it might need some tweaking. And if its not even close, we'll try again. Create the layout with these settings:
Create the template:
Please let us know how it works...or doesn't. Thanks. |

Hello, Thank you very much! The cell properties width is in percentage, so I calculated that, and the height is in pixels, so I calculated that. For the spine label I have: Width = 22%; Height = 156px Horizontal align = Left and Vertical align = Middle For the top pocket label I have: Width = 69%; Height = 78px; Horiz align = Left; Vert align = Middle The layout is as you specified above. Do you have any ideas about why it is cutting off the bottom of the labels? |

Hi again--I figured out that I can add the dimensions in inches, and that has helped! (See attached.) One thing I am wondering is, is it possible to add line breaks in the call number for the spine label, but not on the pocket labels? It seems to allow only one global setting for this. |
|
Update: I had the campus try the new settings, but their printout looked much worse than mine! I'm attaching. It seems like the table really isn't the same size as the actual labels? |
|
@YvonneKester, yes, only one setting for call number per template. We didn't consider it would be included multiple times in the same template with different settings needed for each inclusion. If this is especially important to you, please create an enhancement GitHub issue. Your second try looked so very promising! What is the difference from your printout versus the campus? Was yours printed just to standard paper and theirs to the label stock? Thanks. |

@mgobat, Question: I keep making adjustments, and figured out that I could put in inches by adding "in" to the end of the number, like "4.175in". However, many times I'll go back in and my setting has been changed to pixels. Does the program support inches, or should I go back to % and px? If we could get these printing that would be a great step forward, regardless of call number format, but I will ask them about it. If it is necessary I will put in an enhancement request. Thanks so much! |

P.S., I just downloaded drivers for the Zebra printer and was able to install on my machine for "print to file." This will help with testing. :-) |

@YvonneKester, it should support "in" appended to a numeric size. I think it defaults back to % or px if you add or delete a row or column, though. I'll have to check; it is a third party library. The intent is that the combined template and layout should appropriately match the label being used, provided all the setting sizes are correct for the target label. Although this is the first time we are trying 3 labels... |

Hi @mgobat, |
|
@YvonneKester, I've been away from this for a bit working on some other things. Thank you for the screencast. We use a third-party tool for building the tables; I will look into any known issues that may be causing the settings reverting to pixels. The labels looked good in your screencast; how close to correct do they actually print? Any one particular aspect of the printed label worse than the rest, or just unacceptable in general? Thanks. |
|
@mgobat Thank you for your response--I, too, have been working on other things. Last night I was able to get a fairly good test view, and I put it out for the campus to test, but they can't open the app now. (Hence my recent issue.) I am continuing to work on getting this configured, and will let you know how it goes. |

@mgobat Hello, Many thanks for all your help. |

Hi, |

Hi @mgobat, |

Hi @YvonneKester. I've been struggling with getting my test case to revert from inches to pixels. I stepped away from it for awhile because of that. Today, I'm still not able to replicate the behavior you are seeing with inches switching to pixels. I also did not find anything on the table tool developer site reporting such an issue. But it is clearly happening for you. Could you provide complete details of your template (table properties, all row/column properties, fields in each cell) to see if I can replicate it? I think it is best to try to match all properties to see if one of the values affects the switch from inches to pixels. Thanks. |

Hi @mgobat , thanks. I was working on it Monday and I think I found the main issue, which also seems to have an effect on measures changing from inches to pixels and percent. I start out with two rows, three columns, then merge the two rows in the first column to make the spine label. the middle column is the space between the spine label and the two pocket labels. I discovered the rows that are merged are still retaining the settings from the rows that are not merged. Every time I change the measurements of the spine label cell, it changes the measurements of the pocket label cells, and vice versa. My layout: Template: Spine label Row Properties: Middle column (spacer) Right column--the pocket labels (I have tried leaving these as two rows and also merging them. Right now they are merged) When the rows for the pocket labels were separate, I made the height of each cell 0.8125in. I hope this helps. Thanks! |

@YvonneKester, thank you for the detailed steps. I have replicated the issue of inches reverting to pixels. Now to figure out what to do about it... Not that this is a solution, but we exposed the ability to directly edit the HTML of the template. Click the "<>" icon that appears in the toolbar in front of the tables icons. |
|
Omg, now I'm trying to build the table. ;-) Two side-by-side tables, even. |

Hi @mgobat, I have been playing with the code, and it gives me hope, but I can't seem to get the left (spine) label to stay put as several labels print one after another. Any pointers on how to get a fixed position? I'm attaching my table html as a text file, and here is a screencast of what I mean: https://www.screencast.com/t/BAEIRnCf |
Hello,
I'm having trouble visualizing how to create this template/layout for SpineOMatic and am hoping you can give me some help. This is a three-label set, with a spine label on one side and two "pocket" labels on the other side. I was looking at your directions for the other Computype labels, and maybe I'm too tired but I just can't visualize and extrapolate to the other style. The dimensions I'm working with are:
Three Label Set - 1005544-1
Label 1 - 0.9" x 1.56"
Label 2 - 2.9" x 0.8125"
Label 3 - 2.9" x 0.8125"
And I have a drawing, attached here. Can you give me some guidance?
Many thanks!
