CUSTOMIZING LABEL FORMATS
Customized Label Formats allow label layout and format to be customized by the user. A label
format consists of a single or multiple printable areas called fields. For each field and field type,
predetermined configuaration attributes must be programmed. Regardless of the field type, to
customize a label format, a total of 46 numerical programming entries must be made for each
established field. These numerical programming entries are refered to as parameters.
Before beginning to create a customized label, determine the label size, the number of
fields within the label, and their contents. It is recommended that a sample label be
drawn on a piece of paper displaying the location of each field and its field type before
commencing. Figure 7-1 displays a sample label.
Since all programming is numerical, the format name, the label name, and all
configuration entries will be made by using the printer’s keypad. The following procedure
generalizes the programming sequence when prompted by the LCD:
1 Enter a format number for the label.
2 Enter a label name.
3 Configure label size.
4 Create and configure each field one at a time.
• Field number
• Field type
• Parameters
Figure 7-2 is a visual image of how programming entries are broken down into three primary
categories: Field Designation & Font Type (1-3), Field Configuration (4-21), and Copy
Configuration (22-46). Each time a parameter is configured, its configuration numeral replaces a
“0”, or series of ”0” ‘s, in the bottom row of the LCD.
