Using Supply Layout Grids ––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––
A supply layout grid contains measurement markers. These
markers help you accurately position information on your label.
Decide whether you want to design formats using English,
Metric, or Dot measurements. Choose from the following grids:
✦
English
The English grid, shown to the
right, is measured in 1/100
inches.
✦
Metric
The Metric grid is measured in
1/10 millimeters (mm).
✦
Graphic
The printer uses dots to print
images on a label. The
printhead has 192 dots per
inch (DPI).
If you want to use supply layout grids, a copy of each is in
Appendix D, "Format Design Tools."
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. Everything you want to print
falls into one of the following categories.
