QuickLabel Designer Pro - Manual (Page 66)

When you use color images on the label, their appearance on the label changes. They cannot be
printed in more colors than supported by the printer. The images are not displayed in full color. Each
image is converted to monochrome graphics and previewed on the label as such. Conversion from
color to monochrome graphics is done using dithering setting in the driver. You can assign the image
one color and thus the print head where the image will be printed.
The colors on the label identify which printer head will be used for printing the elements.
Setting up Stock Manager to List Commonly
Used Labels
When you create a new label, you can base the new label on some pre-designed label format
referred to as stock, or you can design the new label from the scratch. The labeling software comes
with a library of pre-defined stocks, based on the labels from different manufacturers. You can also
add the definition of your own labels into the library by using the Stock Management. To open Stock
Management, do the following:
1. Select the option Stock Management in the File menu. A new window will open show-
ing all defined stocks listed in a table.
2. Under the Stock type option, select the group from the combo box for which you wish
to show the stocks. The table will contain stocks from this group only.
Define your own group by doing the following:
1. Click on the ellipsis button. The dialog box of Stock Types will open.
2. Click on the Add button and provide the name of the group. Click on Save and Close.
3. Select your new group and click on the button New in the bottom part of the dialog box.
The stock definition dialog box opens.
4. Open the General tab and define the identification properties of the stock.
5. Open the Dimensions tab and define the width and height of the label.
6. Click on the OK button.
The stock will be saved in the library and available for selection whenever you will create a new
label.
Tracing Variable Values
Each value of the variables can be traced and logged into the log file.
By default the tracing functionality is disabled.
To enable tracing, do the following:
1. Select Variable Trace Setup from Data menu.
2. Select the variables you want to trace.
Note:
By default, values for all variables on the label are traced.
3. Select Configure Log File from Tools menu.
4. Enable logging functionality.
5. When you will print labels, the values for variables as were used on the label are saved to
the log file.
