4 File Management
Label Files
Figure 4-1. File menu options
A single label or a number of labels can be saved as a file, to be opened and reused at a later date.
The following are guidelines when creating a label file:
• Labels using continuous label supply or die-cut label supply cannot be combined in the same label
file. All labels in a label file must use the same label part number.
• Serialized labels can be combined in a file with other non-serialized labels.
Save
A saved file is held internally in the printer, even when the power is turned off. The saved file retains
the label data, data attributes, and alignment parameters and is available for reuse whenever needed.
File Naming Standards
To create a file on the BMP
®
61 printer, the file must be given a name. Names can be up to 20
characters long and can consist of letters and numbers, but not spaces.
When creating files, remember this rule: You cannot have two files with the same name. If you do, the
most recent file with the name will overwrite the previous file with that name. A one-character
difference in the name creates a different file and will not overwrite a previous file.
Internal or External
You can save labels as internal or external files. Internal files are labels stored directly on the printer.
External files are labels stored on some external device, such as a USB drive.
