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 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 203
dots per inch (dpi) or an
optional 300 dots per inch
printhead depending on
your printer.
Choose English or Metric units when designing formats to use with
different printers. English or Metric units allow more direct use of
formats on printers with different density printheads.
If you want to use the supply layout grids, a copy of each is in Appendix
D, “Format Design Tools.”
