Lately, when I've been printing labels, my printer does not print the entire bar code. Typically, I print two labels per sheet (after my first one, I flip the sheet over and reverse it). Normally, the labels have been perfect, but lately, my first of two labels always only prints part of the bar code with bits of the missing bar code on another part of the paper. Is there any way to fix this?

And just to be clear, the part of the bar code missing is in the middle, so it's not like the end is cut off or anything. It just doesn't print part of it then sticks it elsewhere on the piece of paper.

Does everything else print normally?

If yes, then the problem is most likely within the barcode printing software. Probably a bug as I would not expect any user configuration setting that could concievably be useful with respect to printing only part of a barcode.

Since printing apparently worked at one time try reinstalling the printer drivers. Then try reinstalling the barcode software.

I really suspect that the printing software (drivers or application) have been corrupted. However if the label information is in a database then the problem could be there.

Run some tests using plain paper and try to narrow down the problem. Post accordingly. Thanks.,
