Every time I want to save a label I get "not valid slp label library." I have a Smart Label 200, use SL software version 7.0.0.412, on a Win 7 Home Premier, Dell 8800 SPS machine.

I'm making the assumption that your SmartLabel printer was installed on your desktop computer and now you want to use the SmartLabel printer on your laptop. I'm also assuming your what the addresses from your desktop computer. That said...

Seiko has eliminated the software and driver support for all older models but you can download the needed software from a third party site. Here's a link to the very stable version 4.61

2) At the point were the installation program asks, connect your SmartLabel printer
3) If the SmartLabel program is open, close it
B. Retrieve your SmartLabel addresses from your desktop
1) Look for the SmartLabel directory under Program Files on your desktop computer
2) in this directory find a file named label.sll This file holds your SmartLabel 100 addresses.
3) Copy the file to a USB Stick
C. Transfer your labels to your new installation on your laptop
1) After installing your new SmartLabel printer on your laptop. Insert the USB Stick in your laptop
2) Copy the label.sll file into the new SmartLabel directory under Program Files.
3) Start the SmartLabel software and open a new label, you should see the addresses from your desktop computer
4) If you don't see your addresses, you may have to use the Import command on the label.sll file to bring your addresses into your new SmartLabel Application

Hope this helps

Important tips when finding and downloading application/ driver software from non-OEM sites

1. Never install any application from a non-OEM site that says it will scan your computer to determine what files you need. - search using the manufacturer name, model number, and current operating system on the computer you want to install the device on.

2. Only install the files you found. Never download any software suggested.

3. When installing the downloaded files, always select Custom Installation to make sure you only install the software you need. In this case only the application and driver files, nothing else ( no driver updating, security scanning, toolbar, etc. programs).

In the specific case of the Seiko Smart Label printer make sure your printer is not hooked up until the Seiko software tells you to.

However, Seiko has deleted its legacy printer support so you will have to find your 220 drivers from a third party site. The 220 is pretty old so you need to use an older driver and it may not support newer operating systems

Microsft Word is probably not only the best but if not the only solution. Test print a label or two, at a time and then a sheet, at a time. Attempting to print muliple sheets from a file associated with a different, standard, printer may not line up well enough to print pages and pages, unattended.

What you see between these ---> < - > <---- Brackets are actions for you to perform.

You'll may wish to choose a Microsft Word Template, you can do that by opening Microsoft Word, <Help>, <Tempates> or (if you cannot find templates) via: http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/templates/ select a label from your file and pick the number from the list that corresponds with the label on the box of labels. Please forgive the ambiguity, I'm working blind without knowing your Operating System or your version of Word, what printer, etc... This is general enough for most systems.

Here's the order:

1. Click <Tools>, <Letters and Mailings>, Click <Envelopes and Labels>.
2. Click the <Labels> tab, and Click <Options>.
3. First choose the printer you want to use and next the label supplier number from the box sheets that you'll print your labels on.
4. Click <Product Number>, scroll to the corresponding number from the label box. click Ok
5. Click <Envelopes and Labels>, Click <New Document> and a label document will open.
6. Type data onto the labels you choose to use, Avery number work well with Word .
7. Click <File>, Click <Print>.

Now, you could try to make a copy of your label list, to experiment with, but it's probably best that you re-type the labels into each of the boxes while reading from your label program; until your PC is returned

Re install the driver. Download this Driver Update Software for XP Vista 7 8 and update. I hope this helped
