RTC and Printer Settings

Hi everyone,
I didn't find a topic for this and maybe that's because it's a stupid question, but where does a ClassicLayout Report started from the RTC get it's printer settings?
In my example our customer uses a network label printer and I need to adjust the controls in the classic report layout to "hit" the label. The server on which the printer is installed has different settings (width & height) than the client on which the Report is run and the printer setting in Windows have different values than in the printer dialog in NAV.
When I start it from Nav with the default settings, the printer seems to think it's a DIN-A4 page an prints out a bunch of empty Labels ...
Thanks in advance

AFAIK it's in the report properties of the RDL layout. When you open the layout in VS, you can click on the background for general settings (width, height, margins). Be aware that your design can be larger than this. To ensure that all fields fit on the label you have to check the properties on the section headers, too.
with best regards and HTH

Before NAV 2009 R2 you will need to control this in Classic client "Printer Selection" form(64)
Or use workaround here, if you are not using NAV 2009 R2 and want to control this from within RTC:
