Here are a few tips for printing card:

• Print a test print on regular paper. Before you use your special paper stock, print on regular paper to make sure your settings are right and there is no problem with your design.
• Check the alignment. First, you can hold the test print up alongside the pre-cut business card paper and see if it is correctly aligned. If the alignment is incorrect, check the application you are using for alignment tools that can correct the issue. You might have to reconfigure these settings a few times to get the alignment you are looking for..
• Set "Page Scaling" to "None" when you print. If you are using a Windows computer to print from a template or a PDF generated by business card software, the default setting can cause the entire sheet of cards to be scaled to a smaller size, causing the cards to progressively misalign as they go down the page. Once you click print, check in the preferences pane of the print dialog box that comes up. If page scaling is set to Fit to Page or a similar setting, change it to None .
• Check the margins. If the design on your template goes closer than one half inch (12.7 mm) to the edge of your page, then you should look for the option on your print preferences dialog box that allows your printer to print the maximum possible area. Usually you will find this option either in page-setup, or as one of the options that are available after you choose Print from the File menu in the window that pops up. The exact location of this option can vary based on your printer type and driver.

Tip: If the program you are using is not giving you the results you want, try another program or an online resource.

Try to restore the printer settings to its default settings. Follow the steps below:

1. From the control panel, press Mode repeatedly until Copy is selected.
2. Press Menu.
3. Press up or down and select Defaults. Press check.
4. Press left or right to scroll through the options list.
5. Select Restore Default Settings. Press check.

Try to make a copy again.

Hi,
The default paper selection/ size in MS Word is 'letter'. you may have designed the document on letter size and while printing you have A4 size paper in the printer.
So, Make sure that you design the document on the same paper size (such as A4, which is commonly used). Secondly, while printing don't print the document directly. From the Print dialogue option choose the exact paper size and un-check (de-select) any option of paper resizing (if available). You will have the documents printed exactly as designed.

Let me know if any further clarification/ assistance is required.

Hope it helps! Good Luck! Thanks for using Fixya!

Usually, the second part of the "alignment" process is to put the printed page into the scanner,
and then to scan the page -- the Lexmark will compare the "actual" printed-page with the "optimal" settings, and will adjust the printer to "align" the heads. Have you done this part?

> will not print ... from Microsoft Word

What happens? What does not happen? Did you use setup in Word to choose your printer as the "default" printer?

That is not the Test Page. That is the Alignment Page. The Alignment is not complete.
Scan the page once and then let the alignment complete.

Yopu can change the rprinting order from the Print Dialogue box or Printer driver.

Look for the following to change page grouping when printed

and the followintg to change printing from first to last and last to first pages

1Verify that the printer is turned on. If the printer is not on, check to ensure the power cord is securely plugged into a working electrical outlet, then press and release the power button one time. Wait for a few seconds while the printer powers up. Step2Lift the paper output tray. Load the letter or A4 unused plain white printer paper into the paper input tray. Lower the paper output tray. Step3Double left click the "HP Solution Center" icon to open the application. Single left click the "Help and Support" tab. Single left click the "Printer Toolbox" link. Single left click the "Align Print Cartridges" option to open the "Alignment Page" window. Single left click "Align." Step4Wait while the printer prints an alignment page. Examine the alignment page carefully and select the option that appears to be most correctly aligned. Select that option by single left clicking the corresponding option on the drop-down choices in the alignment window. Step5Single left click the "Done" button once you have entered all appropriate options. Wait while the printer prints a confirmation page. hope this helps

Hi,
open the related word document.
select 1 line above the Text in question, press enter twice.
That way, the text will drop by 2 lines.
try a test page on this, alternatively try using a different label layout, until you get the desired result.
Other than the AveryL7160.
