Ask for Skipped Labels When Printing |
Select to force AIMsi to prompt you for a starting label number when you're printing labels. You might use this if, for example, you're printing on an 8.5" x 11" sheet of Avery labels and you've used 5 of the labels on the sheet. This allows you to start printing at a specific label without wasting the remaining blank labels for subsequent printings. |
