Mickey,

Well when we first started here, we hand wrote everything. Isn't that insane!!!!! We changed pretty quick though. Man talk about hand cramps

Couple of things you can do--- Since you are cutting out the name and address off the Invoice anyway and using a sheet of paper, you might consider using the Printed Invoices Report and customizing it. You can make the name and address font larger when customizing the report. Which is what we did just so it is easier for all of us here with over 50 eyes (and when we forget to take our reading glasses to the warehouse to pull orders

The other thing you can do is what we did right before I went to using Endicia, I got a pin-fed printer and bought larger address labels. I faked out AW2000 to thinking it was printing a single lazer label in the pin-fed. Since we can only put one label at a time on a package it worked really well.

We used the "Queue Shipping Label" icon on the toolbar. And then immediately printed the label. OF course three labels would run out, But we tore off the one we needed, hit load paper and the pin-fed automatically placed the labels in the ready position for the next label. The printer would be ready before we could peel and stick the address and put it into the Postal carry out crates. I don't recall which label I used to fake out AW2000. I can look. I think it is still configured on the Shipping computer. It wasn't too hard to do.

But using the Reports Printed Invoices and customizing it might be your better option for right now since you are already use to cutting out sheets of paper.

Now in the REports, when you customize, there is the ability to create labels for dot matrix printers. You have to Customize a Printed Invoice report, Then when that report opens in the customize editor, click on File | New. And there are three options. Choose Label wizard. And there are lazer as well as dot matrix labels. You might be able to create a label that would work for your needs.

Does that help??
