Re: Help!!Spine label printing

[Joe Reimers <jreimers@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello Aine,

The good news is, you're in luck!  What you want to do is quite possible 
(and is, in fact, what we do here.)  To address your questions in order:
1. You can print only spine labels.  Simply leave the pocket labels blank 
and the system will ignore them.
2. I'm assuming you're referring to the character-based system.  The answer 
is that yes, you can have a single queue.  You want to go to System Options 
--> Define batch label queue.  It's been awhile since I've done it, but 
simply assigning m for monograph should work just fine.
3. AnzioWin is one option, Anzio's Print Wizard is the other (AnzioWin 
contains PrintWizard.)  Basically, you'll need to set up a file that 
defines the label size and the paper size, and Print Wizard will align your 
labels for you.  Pretty cool stuff.  If you go that route, I can help with 
that file.
4. Milcat handles batch label printing differently than 
character-based.  The upshot is that you can print labels from any item 
review file, and the batch label queue is an item review file formed by 
selecting "add to label queue."  Labels can be printed directly from Milcat 
(and we've even got them printing from MilSer, but that's a different story!)
5. I have very little experience with AnzioWin (speak: none), I use the 
standalone Print Wizard.  Bob Rasmussen (who wrote this little gem) 
recently added a couple helpful features that let you scan in a blank label 
sheet as an image and overlay what you want to print onto that 
image.  Using his print preview feature, you can see how it looks, and you 
can change the margins on the fly.  Putting all this together will help you 
figure out your precise measurements.  (Trust me, it's hard to explain, but 
not hard to understand if you see it in action.)

I don't know if you're going to the IUG conference, but I'll be talking 
about this very topic in one of the sessions :-)
