Supply Layout Grids
There are three Supply Layout
Grids:
•
English
•
Metric
•
Dots.
Decide whether you want to
design formats using English,
Metric, or dot measurement.
Use the corresponding Supply
Layout Grid to determine
supply dimensions and
measure field locations.
The English grid, shown to the
right, is measured in inches.
The Metric grid is measured in millimeters. Use the Dot Layout
Grid if you prefer to design formats according to dot
measurement.
The printer uses dots to print images on a supply. The
printhead has 192 dots per inch.
Steps to Designing a Format
To design your own custom format:
1. Determine format contents
2. Define the format header
3. Define text and bar code fields
4. Define lines and boxes, if any
5. Apply field options, if desired (Chapter 3, "Applying Field
Options").
