of the top left corner and box line thickness. Line thickening is done at the expense of the
internal space. To move the box object, select the item by clicking on some of the lines,
hold down the left mouse button and drag the object. Resize by selecting the object so as

Picture


Displays a black-and-white image on a selected area on the label design. The program
takes the picture data from a file, which must be monochrome, BMP/PCX format. What
is loaded is the whole image – you cannot select parts of it. You can define the
coordinates of the top left corner, the file path and name. The picture will be loaded in the
printer as a graphic with the same name. This is useful when you want this picture to be
used by different label designs, no matter that the graphic was loaded only once (for
example – you can load a graphic with your company logo). Move a picture by left-
clicking on it and dragging it to another area. Pictures cannot be resized. If you want to
use a colour image of BMP/JPG format, you must first convert the image from Tools-
>Color To Black & White Converter and save the file on the disk.
