Title: I wish to print labels!
Post by: ken on October 07, 2004, 08:55:23 AM
I don't know where the label printing
function went that was in the old software,
but I cannot find it.  I would also like to
print labels for  my PalmPad and "5 in 1".
Has this been wished for already?

You're the first to bring it up. I'll add it
to the list.

I also wish that the lables for the PalmPad
HR12A could be printed so that devices 1-8
and 9-16 could be shown on the same page when
inserted under the clear plastic window of
the controller.

As it stands, it's designed to that one folds
the paper which leaves only eight devices
showning at a time.

I configure Firecraker to print all items on
the first eight fields (1.LvgRoom 9.OfcPots,
2.Porch 10.OfcFan) leaving 9 through 16
blank, and this causes readability issues due
to the small font necessary in order to fit
them each within the block for a single device.

I hope I've been clear in my description.

Until they add printing to AHP, you can
install a copy of the FireCracker software,
which has the ability to print labels for
the PalmPad remote.

Old software Active Home 1,42 Under <file>

have choice of label type.Handheld
controller (Combined) prints 1-16 devices.

I wonder if this feature is scheduled to
appear on a release, and what release number
that would be.   Thanks.

"You're the first to bring it up. I'll add

WHEN should we have this feature ?

Title: Re: I wish to print labels!
Post by: Ken in ON on January 29, 2005, 02:13:49 PM
First, I wish to thank you for update 3.177.

But I must report that I'm completely
underwhelmed.  Not only is there only one
label per page (I had wished for at least six
as I have seven HR12A PalmPad's around the
house and wasting seven sheets of paper, plus
the cutting of same is a pain) but I've
totally lost the ability to print as I did
with the Firecraker.  I.e. "I configure
Firecraker to print all items on the first
eight fields (1.LvgRoom 9.OfcPots, 2.Porch
10.OfcFan) leaving 9 through 16 blank."

With this new feature, only "LvgRoom" shows
up on the supposed front of the label even
though it's entered as "1.LvgRoom 9.OfcPots"

Additionally, the two sides of the label are
separated by a 1/2" gap (we're not metric
yet, are we) and cannot simply be folded in
two anymore to fit under the clear insert.

I'm sorry, but I'm much worse off now.  Yes I
know that you're getting the field contents
from the virtual devices themselves, but what
were you thinking by separating the sides by
1/2" and printing only one per page?

It would also be nice to be able to print
labels for the stick a switch buttons.  They
are very small and getting it just right
without desktop publishing software is
probably impossible.   This would be a big
help!

Printing both labels (1/9,2/10, etc.)
together would also make a lot more sense.
You really can't easily turn the labels over
so what's the point?

The new activehome does not have the
ability to print labels - no problem.  You
can print nicer labels with control over
fonts and colors by creating a table in MS
Word using row height of "at least .38"
and  column width ".7".  The font that
works  best for me is Arial 7.  By using
borders  and shading and applying it to the
cell you  can make colorful labels.    I
would be glad to share my templates with
X10 if they want to put them on the web
for  download.

I created labels in Word without a table, I
have one row with 16 labels, every second
one is s second color and offset by a few
spaces so they stand out.   I kept the
description short and the font is tiny but
it works well.  I printed, cut out then
double sided taped it over the existing
blank label, the house codes are still at
the bottom.

Sam:  Label printing was introduced in
version 3.177 (released January 28, 2005)
as a result of this thread which started on
October 7, 2004.  Just goes to show that
X10 does consider suggestions in this forum.

Yes they due: however for us that want 1-16
on the same label for our HR12A PalmPad's
IT'S USELESS!!!!
Title: Re: I wish to print labels!
Post by: tony on March 18, 2005, 10:51:45 PM
I agree with Jerry in FL.  It is not
practical to remove the 1-8 template and
then insert yhe 9-16 template.  I use the
Firecracker label printer, because it works
better.  But I still have to write in the 9-
16 number prefix on the second line of each
button row.

I've created a MS Excel spread sheet to
print labels for the palmpad remote. It
lets you print housecodes 1 thru 16 split
with different colors 1-8 and 9-16.  If
anyone is interested email me at
tony@tcassio.com.  I will send it to you.

The old serial port software prints 1-16 on
the same slip.
