Adding a New Device to the Device List
Adding new devices to the device list is useful since each device uses specific settings geared toward each
individual device. By adding a new device, you can create a series of unique templates with settings that work
perfectly with that specific device.
Perform these steps to add a new device to the template list:
1. Click Add New Device. A series of options appears (FIG. 44).
2. Enter the name of the device in the Name field.
Note the template image filenames, dimensions, and file types must remain the same if you
make any changes
