To verify printer settings for labels or envelopes:īecause FileMaker Pro considers the selected printer and the print or page setup information when it calculates margins and other measurements on the layout, you must verify these settings before you create a Labels layout or an Envelopes layout. Labels layouts and Envelope layouts use merge fields, which expand or contract to fit the data in the field and use no space if the field is empty. To print data on envelopes, create an Envelope layout. You can either choose from several predesigned label types or specify custom dimensions for your labels. To print data on mailing labels, create a Labels layout or a Vertical Labels layout.
