Designing a Format 4 - 1 DESIGNING A FORMA T This chapter describes how to ♦ determine what kind of information to use in your format. ♦ draw a rough sketch of your label or tag using the Supply Layout Grid before you create the format. ♦ categorize data into field types (text, bar code, price, etc.
4 - 2 Designing a Format Determining the Print Area The print area varies, depending on the size of your supply. Below are the maximum and minimum print areas.
Designing a Format 4 - 3 Using Supply Layout Grids A supply layout grid contains measurement markers. These markers help you accurately position information on your label. If you want to use supply layout grids, a copy is shown on this page. Make copies of this page for each of your formats.
4 - 4 Designing a Format Considering Field Types After you select a supply size, the next step in designing a format is to decide what information you want to print on the label. For example, you may want to print your company name, price of an item, and a bar code that combines information from other places.
Designing a Format 4 - 5 Font and Font Size When working with fonts, y ou have three considerations: ♦ font appearance ♦ font size ♦ font spacing (monospaced or proportional) See Appendix B, "Using Fonts, " for more information. Rotation The rotation of your field or i ndividual characters.
4 - 6 Designing a Format Starting the Design Process Turn on the printer. You will see the Main Menu. - = Main Menu = - 1. Design Formats 2. Print Labels 3. Configuration 1. From the Main Menu, press 1 to design your formats. - = Design Menu = - 1. Create New Format 2.
Designing a Format 4 - 7 Placing Fields on a Format You must be careful where you place a field on a format to ensure it does not go off the format. There are two ways this can occur. You have placed the field ♦ on the format, but based on its maximum length, it may go off the edge.
4 - 8 Designing a Format.
