Print labels?

AppSheet AppSheet Q&A

Hi

I want to create a bot that I hope I will manage to run whose job is to print labels on a label printer. The labels are 1 inch high, 2 inches wide (25 x 57 mm). The thing is it looks like Appsheet is not able to do printing jobs at that tiny level.

I try to reduce the template and sure enought, there is an option to make custom sizes. I put in the data but when trying to preview, it is the old big letter size. I try to find an option in the list of sizes in the Word-like template .. nothing. The smallest I can get is 14.8 x 21.0 cm. Way to big! I am really the first user who wants to print to labels?

Is there a way to hack the system and get a smaller paper size?

Appsheet does what it wants

If the labels are in sheet form, you should be able to configure a template to print those. You would create a table in the template to match the sheet label orientation and then configure the template to print into that table. Pagination has always been a pain but there are some good articles here in the Community with ideas to handle the page breaks - if needed.

If the labels are on a spool, I do not think that will be possible from AppSheet.

I hope this helps!

Indeed, the labels are on a spool. Paid 500 bucks for the printer.

I still wonder why people would pay for something like Appsheet
