7.0 Printing Labels (DC-300 only)
Note: Chapter 7.0 Printing Labels deals with the DC-300 scale only
One of the most useful features of the DC-300 is the ability to set up your own label formats, defining which
fields you want to include, at what size and in what position on the label. The DC-300 gives you three ways to set
up labels:
• by using one of the 16 preprogrammed or standard label formats (see Section 7.1.2);
• by using the DC-300 Label Editor software to design a label and then download it to the scale (see
Section 7.3);
• by designing a Free Format label. Up to 99 user-designed formats can be stored in the scale (see
Section 7.5).
The following sections describe loading labels or paper into the DC-300’s built-in printer, programming fields
that can appear on labels, and the different ways to format and print labels.
7.1 Thermal Label Printer
7.1.1 Available Label Types
The DC-300’s built in printer can accept a variety of sizes and types of labels. Label rolls must have a 40mm
core, be wound with the labels facing outwards, and have a maximum diameter of 105 mm.
Figure 7-1. Label Roll Dimensions
The DC-300 comes with 16 pre-programmed label formats and can store up to 99 free formats that can be
defined by the user. Item codes stored in the DC-300’s inventory database can have a label format associated
with them (see Section 6.1.2) or the label format can be temporarily set when manually printing a label (see
Section 7.4). Samples of each of the label types are shown in Section 7.1.2.
