Instruction manual

If using the optional verifier, allow a minimum no-scan zone on the trailing
edge of the label of 0.5 inch (13 mm). The trailing edge is the edge of the
label that exits the printer last; regardless of how the format is designed on
the label.
Use the following formulas to convert inches to dots and metric:
Dots = inches x 203 (or 300 dots per inch)
Metric (1/10mm) = inches x 254
English (1/100 inch) = 100 x (dots/203) or (dots/300)
Dots = Metric (1/10 mm) x 799/1000 (or 1181/1000)
300 dpi depends on your printer.
Drawing Rough Sketches
After you decide what information you want to print, sketch how you want
the information to appear on the label. Note any areas that are preprinted
on the label, such as a logo.
As soon as you know what information to include on the label, and you have
a rough sketch, you can use a supply layout grid to help you layout and size
your label. If you do not want to use a grid, go to “Considering Field Types”
to choose what information you want on your label.
