5.2 Manually array images using PTPrint
In some cases it may be necessary to manually import images without using the label setup wizard.
For example if you wish to arrange multiple different labels on the same page you will need to
follow this procedure. Follow the steps below:
1. Open PTPrint. Click the Cancel button to cancel out of the wizard.
2. Go to the File Menu - Choose Link. Browse to the location of the image. Click OK.
Note: Linking creates a pointer to the image where ever it may be on your hard drive or network.
3. The image you choose will be placed on the page.
4. Position Image. Once you have your image on the page you can fine tune its positioning using
the tool bar at the top of the screen. First select the object/image you want to move by clicking
on it. Now adjust the X and Y values to position the image. Adjusting the Y value will move
your image vertically up and down on the page. Adjusting the X value will adjust your image
horizontally side to side on the page. It might be easier if you adjust the anchor point of the XY
values to the top left corner of your image. This way if you set your Y value to zero you will
know that the image will be placed at the very top of the page. You may also use this area to
adjust the size of your image.
Note: Be sure to place the image only on the printable area of the page which is .125" (1/8") from either
side. Also be sure to leave room for your eyemark.
Note: To rotate an image go to the Layout menu - Choose Size/Move - Rotate
5. Eyemark. Now that you have your first image in place you should think about where you need
to place your eyemark. You will need to size and position this eyemark according to your cutter
manufacturers specifications. To create an eyemark click the shape tool button on the side
button bar. Select the Rectangle button. With your cursor draw the rough shape of the eyemark
at the rough position where you would like it placed. By default the shape will be black. Use the
instructions in step 4 to fine tune the size and position of the eyemark.
