I assume this error is occuring in Microsoft Word.
- Create a new document, with a full page of the label you are having trouble printing.
- To see the margin settings of your document, go to File > Page Setup (or Page Layout > Margins > Custom Margins for Word 2007).
- Click OK on the margins dialog, and Word will check the settings against your currently selected printer. If a margin is set outside the printable area (usually the bottom margin set to zero), you should see the warning message.
- Click the Fix button to have Word change the margins
to match your printer. You should now see the Margins dialog with the new margin settings.
- Click OK.
One thing to watch for- on some inkjet printers, the printable area is narrower than the labels. This will cause the labels to shift to the right on the page and be misaligned when you print.
If the labels run off the right edge of the page display, or are misaligned when you print, an extra procedure is needed.
- Undo ([Ctrl]+[Z]) the new margin setting, or create a new page from the label template again.
- Select the entire table of labels ([Ctrl]+[A]).
- Right-click the table, and select Table Properties.
- Click the Text wrapping "Around" option, then the Positioning button.
- Change the Horizontal position to Center, Relative to Page.
Uncheck the "Move with text" option. Click OK to the Table Positioning dialog, then click OK to the Table Properties dialog.
- Left-click (or press an arrow key) to "deselect" the table, then go into the margins dialog (see above) and allow Word to fix the margin settings again.
With the labels aligned to the page, rather than the margins, the new margin settings should not cause the labels to shift.
Once you have the margins set correctly for your printer, I would save the empty page of labels to use as a "template".
