Barcode Printing

We are using a Cognitive Advantage barcode label printer. We are using 1" x

1" labels, two up. My reseller gave us the following code to use for the labels, but the UPC prints fairly small and is sometimes difficult to scan, any suggestions as to how to make the barcode wider or more readable? Also, when we print the labels it only prints on one of the two up - we end up with 50% waste. Any way to get it to use both of the two ups? We use two up 1" x 1" because we need small labels for small items. Thanks in advance. Here's the code we've been using...

'Barcode Blaster NRC Label

Never resolved - I would hope Microsoft could give me some sort of comment.

You can do a 2 up label using the Windows Print Driver that's available on the Cognitive Web Site. You would then need to create a label format using the Label Designer that's built into RMS - it is similar to the Avery label formats, except that your want to set it for 2 columns and a paper size that matches the height of one label (usually a little larger than the label itself to account for the space between labels).

The code you have is used with the generic text driver. You can make it print on both labels, but it will print twice as many labels as you request - it's like two copies rather than two distinct columns. I believe the following change would enable this, but the windows driver solution above is the better choice... Change this line: ! 0 100 190 1 to this: ! 0 100 190 2
