Printing Using a PC

NOTE on PC Settings:

Most applications allow you to change these same printer driver

options from their "Print" and/or "Printer Setup" screens. Some

applications such as NiceLabel save your settings with the label,

others use settings only for the current print job just sent to the

printer.

Paper Size

If you are using NiceLabel, this setting is adjusted during the

label setup wizard. If you are using a program other than

NiceLabel you will need to set this to the dimensions of the

your label. Keep in mind that the dimensions are always rela-

tive to the width and height of the actual label in the printer.

Orientation of an image on the label should not change this

setting. See Section 6 for minimum and maximum label sizes.

Orientation

There are two settings for orientation, Portrait and Landscape.

If your text and graphics print left to right or as shown on the

screen, select portrait . If you wish your printing to rotate 90

degrees from what you see on the screen so it is printing

horizontally, select landscape as your orientation. Remember,

this does not change the width and height Paper Size. It is

only a tool for viewing a label upright on screen that will be

printed sideways on the printer.

Portrait

Landscape

Print Quality

There are 4 levels of print quality in the driver. The lower the

Quality, the faster the print. Quality 1 provides the fastest

print available while Quality 4 provides the best quality. It is

recommended that you experiment with the different levels

when designing your label to find a good balance between

print quality and print speed.
