= SUMMARY =

In Microsoft Word, if the message “Not enough disk space to print” is displayed each time Print Merge is selected, you are probably using an ImageWriter and merging with a large data document.

The Apple Systems’ Printing Manager has a limit of 128 pages per spool file to an ImageWriter. One method of creating mailing labels with Word is to make each label a separate one-inch page. Before the mailing labels are printed, all are spooled into one file. Because there is a limit of 128 pages to be printed in one spool file, an error will occur.

= MORE INFORMATION =

The error message that appears when you choose Print Merge and Print is “Not enough space on disk to print current page.” If you choose Print Merge and click the New Document button, you will get the message “Cannot print more than 128 pages at once.” In both cases, you can work around the problem by printing only 128 labels at a time. To do this, use the From… To option in the Print Merge dialog box.

Another possible solution is to set up the main document as described in the application note titled “MW0163: Creating Customer Mailing Labels.” This application note describes a method for filling a letter-sized page with three columns of labels. This procedure uses fewer pages for a given number of labels. For information about obtaining this application note, query on “MW0163” in the Microsoft Knowledge Base.
