System Options—Avery Label Margins

To access:  VOTER FOCUS ADMIN > System Options > Avery Label Margins

This tab lets you adjust your label output so the text is aligned accurately for different sizes of Avery labels—5161, 5162, 5267, and 7714 (compatible with Avery 5162)—and for labels printed by various applications in Voter Focus.

We recommend that you print a test label using the standard margins set on this tab. Then make adjustments to these settings if you need to.

Adjustments are in 1/10th-inch increments, so for example if you enter 5, the label will be adjusted 5/10ths of an inch.

To adjust Outgoing Vote-by-Mail Labels and Supplement Labels for Precinct Registers:

1.     To adjust the output vertically (up or down), enter a number in the Top column for the label size. When starting from 0, use a negative number to move the label up and a positive number to move the label down.

2.     To adjust the output horizontally (left or right), enter a number in the Left column for the label size. When starting from 0, use a negative number to move the label left and a positive number to move the label right.

3.     Click OK to save the new values.

Note  On the Avery Label Margins tab, the two system options governing Avery 5161 labels—Top and Left—do not affect the layout of labels produced by FlexRep. labels printed with mail merge documents, and the Election Worker Address Label and Birthday Label runs, even though all those labels are formatted for Avery labels. Only the Top setting under Margin for Crystal Reports, Labels from FlexRep, and Labels with Mail-Merge Notices has an effect on these labels.

To adjust labels printed from FlexRep, labels printed with mail merge documents, and election worker address and birthday labels:

1.     Adjust these labels vertically (up or down) by entering number in the Top field. (This is the Top field beneath the text Margin for Crystal Reports....). Adjustments are in 1/10th-inch increments; if you enter 5, the label will be adjusted 5/10ths of an inch. To move the text up, use a lower number; to move it down, increase the number

2.     Click OK to save the new values.
