Building a Format
There are some important terms that are used when building a format which are defined
here.
Pull Direction - The pull direction is used to describe one side or dimension of a
tag/label. The pull direction is the direction that the stock travels through the
printer.
Web Direction - The web direction is used to describe another side or dimension of a
tag/label. The web direction is best illustrated by the width of a roll of stock.
The web direction is the dimension that is directly related to the print head.

The pull and web directions are very important when laying out a tag / label. If these
dimensions are not determined correctly then the orientations of the fields that are
placed on the tag/label will be incorrect.
