Hello,
When I try to print the 5160 labels, the first couple of character of the far left column gets cut off. So I tried to add a few spaces to the mailing label format via Global Settings --> Addresses --> Mailing Label Format like this:
{ }
{ }{ }{ }{contact_name}
{ }{ }{ }{street_address}
{ }{ }{ }{supplemental_address_1}
{ }{ }{ }{supplemental_address_2}
{ }{ }{ }{city}{, }{state_province}{ }{postal_code}
{ }{ }{ }{country}

However, when I create new mailing labels, the format is exactly the same as the original:
{contact_name}
{street_address}
{supplemental_address_1}
{supplemental_address_2}
{city}{, }{state_province}{ }{postal_code}
{country}

What I am leaving out?

Thanks
-Bradley

We are using updf for generating labels. Looks like updf is stripping those spaces.

Hi Kurund,

I tried once to put {. } at the front of each line to see what would happen, but a period did not show up in the output.

Bradley:

{contact_name}, etc are used to specify fields that need to be displayed in Mailing Label. I guess for formatting you might have to customize 5160 label as per your need.

Check CRM/Utils/PDF/Label.php, approx. line 55

protected $averyLabels =
array (
'5160' => array('name' => '5160', 'paper-size' => 'letter', 'metric' => 'mm',
'lMargin' => 1.762, 'tMargin' => 10.7, 'NX' => 3, 'NY' => 10,
'SpaceX' => 3.175, 'SpaceY' => 0, 'width' => 66.675, 'height' => 25.4,
'font-size' => ,

Adjust it according to your need. You might want to increase lMargin.
