· Clear the screen of the Label Editor from any previous label designs with File-
>New Label.
·
Set a label size for the label design from Label Setup. If the label will contain date
and time, set the date and time format.
·
Decide which part of the label information is to change often – it is a good idea to
provide a variable for it. For example: - item’s name, weight, price. Set the necessary
variables from Define variables and counters. When defining variables, try to estimate
what length and justification would be best for the label outlook. Do not worry if you
cannot decide immediately – these settings can be changed later. Set suitable and sensible
names for the variables – this will greatly facilitate your work.
·
Start adding the necessary elements on the label, one at a time: press the draw
button for the object and click on the label area where you want the object to appear. Of
the object is a rectangle, frame or diagonal line, you can roughly set the initial size – hold
down the left-mouse button and drag to resize. The object’s current position and size will
be indicated by a thick red line or frame.
·
When you let go the mouse button, the object’s dialog box will appear where you
can edit its parameters. When drawing text and barcodes, make sure you enter some data,
otherwise the objects will not be visible. You can edit the entered information later.
Choose font and enlargement, if necessary.
·
Arrange the objects on the label, so as to cover the area regularly. Do not forger to
leave some empty space around barcode objects to ensure proper reading.
·
Set the values for the variables used with Update variables and counters. In case
you have done that earlier, go around the text and barcode objects and check whether the
entered date is valid and the correct variables are stated. The label design should be
already finished – make a test print to preview it on the paper.
·
Save the new label on the disk with File->Save as Label. You can then save the
label design in the printer with File->Store Current Label. The new label will be
accessible for print with the Print button.
