provides strips of blank button labels. If desired, photocopy them or cut them out

of the guide, write button information in each button area as desired, and put them in the
SMX input or output buttons windows. Labels can be created using the Extron
Button-Label Generator software.

Using the Button Label Generator

The Button Label Generator software creates labels that you can place inside the
translucent covers of the input and output push buttons (see

Replacing Button Labels

on

page 117 for procedures for removing the replacing the translucent covers). You can create
labels with names, alphanumeric characters, icons, and even colored bitmaps for easy and
intuitive input and output selection.
The program is contained on the same DVD as the SMX Control Program and is installed
automatically when you install the control software.
By default, the software files are placed in the

C:\Program Files\Extron\

ButtonLabelGenerator

directory. The

Button Label Generator

icon is placed in the

“Extron Electronics” group or folder.
