Label creation options
Your system offers three basic label creation methods:
•
Freeform—Freeform labels are labels you create on your own, without using any
predetermined formatting or layout. To create a freeform label, choose the Freeform option in
the Application window (as you did in the exercise
Creating a basic label
on page 2-2).
When you work on freeform labels, you can set up any combination of lines and areas that you
need as described in the next section in this chapter. You can also use all of the options detailed
in Chapter 3, “Label Design,” to make your labels look exactly as you want them.
•
Freeform using standard layouts—Another way of creating freeform labels is to use your
system’s standard layouts. The Label Layout key provides a quick way of creating labels using
layouts that are already set up for you. When you press this key, you can choose from many
different, attractive layouts that are predefined. All you need to do is enter your text and print.
See
Using standard layouts
on page 2-11.
•
Specialty applications—The application window on your system lists other options in addition
to Freeform. These may include Signs, Hazardous Waste Labels, Pipe Markers and others.
These options are referred to as specialty applications, and they allow you to quickly produce
labels for a specific use. For example, the Signs application helps you create many different
types of signs.
The advantage of specialty applications is that they lead you through the creation of an item
step-by-step. For example, the Signs application asks you to choose the sign’s content (such as
text and graphics), the sign’s size, text options and so on. Selection windows appear one after
another, and all you need to do is make a choice and continue with the next step—right up to
printing the sign. For more information, see
Using standard layouts
on page 2-11.
