I've been using patch printer for a little bit now and I'm running into some issues which could be improved.

1. The ability to CSV Export a specific list eg. Cable list so I can import it into my Dymo Label printing software. or support for these labels printers. Dymo/P-touch.
2. The ability to give a fixture two power sources eg. 8 Cell mole which has to 16a connectors Or to be able to give them fixture numbers and a letter eg. 801-A & 801-B
3. When making loom lists it will only add colour onto the printed list if all the looms are the same colour i.e. for the same area. If I could add the location colour on the cable list and then this would show up in the paperwork this would be helpful. e.g. Spare with white or a motor cable with earth tape or a feeder loom which then breaks out for different areas
4. as far as I can see there is no way to add DMX to the cable list so I'm unable to include DMX in my looms

Thanks,

Hello,

1. These label printers are directly supported, but you need to play around with the size of the label. Every label will have a bigger size and also the settings of the printers do matter. I will contact some users which already use these and post the label templates and printer settings here.
2. This is something I am still figuring out. The A and B thing might be a nice way to link them, but it requires a lot of mods in the software. Notes taken..
3. Will see what I can do!
4. Not via the wizard, since this will get to complex, but you can change the cable type when you have a loom selected.

Thanks,

Bart

Thank you.

I was just wondering whether you had managed to contact any other users? as am struggling to get my labels to print directly onto my label printer, which is a Dymo label writer 450.

Thanks.

Hello,

I'm (still) waiting for the templates of the PatchPrinter user who used almost the same printer. A couple of settings which should I can guess can be found in the screenshot below:

• Fill in the correct label width and height
• Rotation on Portrait Paper: 90 Deg Rotation
• 1 Item horizontal and 1 item vertical

In the settings of the printer the correct label cartridge should be configured.

What happens when you try to print a pdf or picture, just from any application, not via PatchPrinter?

Please let me know your findings!

Thanks,

Bart

Hi Bart,

I had a bit of time this morning and I've figured and got great-looking labels on a Dymo Labelwriter 450, it took a while to align everything but I think I have a template that works now and prints straight off the software.

I found the label had to be set to the bottom left part of the A4 sheet.

Thanks,

Geno

Hello Geno

I have a problem with printing with the dymo labelwriter 450 .

Al the labels are really small when i print them.

I did setup the label type right in the settings of dymo, i got the same labels as you are, and i copy the info that you share above, but still every thing that is printing is really small.

hope you can help

Kind regards,

Kevin
