Printing a
Client Label
From Data
Entry
Drake provides a convenient way to print a mailing or folder label from data entry. To
print a single label from data entry:
1. Ensure that the label printer is installed properly per the manufacturer’s instructions
and that the label sheet is properly loaded.
2. In data entry, go to screen 1 of the return.
3. Right-click on the screen (not a field) and select Client Labels > Name Format
from the right-click menu.
4. Select the name format (LastName, FirstName or FirstName LastName).
5. Right click on the screen (not a field) again and select Client Labels.
6. Choose from the following label types:
• Mailing Label
• Folder Label (SSN/EIN, Name or Name only)
NOTE
Unless you chose to hide the Preview Label Window in step 7 of the
previous procedure (see “Mailing Labels” on page 302), you will see
the Preview Label window. Click Continue.
7. Select the label printer from the Print dialog box.
8. Click OK to print the label.
NOTE
This option is designed for use with a dedicated label maker such as
the DYMO LabelWriter 400 Label Printer. Data can be printed on any
label size, but DYMO Label Writer labels, size 30252, are recommended
because they work well for folder and mailing labels. Size
30252 labels are included in the DYMO printer starter kit.
