LABEL CREATION
8. Label Creation
This section describes how to create labels using Microsoft
®
Word. Variations may
occur among different versions of Word, but basic principles are the same. The
DuraLabel 9000 is designed to work with any currently supported Windows software
and should work with the software installed on your computer. Both Microsoft Word
2003 and 2010* were used to describe procedures in this Guide.
*NOTE: Navigation may vary depending on your version of Word, but the tools will
be the same.
The information in this section assumes your printer has been properly installed and
is connected in the online mode.
8.1 Label Creation with Your Word Processor
DuraLabel 9000 printers operate off a standard Windows driver that allows access
to a wide variety of software packages.
8.1.1 USING TEMPLATES
If you do not follow this step, you will need to create all labels
from scratch.
The DuraLabel 9000 provides a variety of templates you can install from the
installation CD start-up screen. Click on Install Templates & Symbols and follow the
instructions. When installation is complete, templates and symbols will be accessible
from a folder titled My Documents\DLP Templates & Symbols.
To use a template, open Microsoft Word, select Open and browse the DLP Templates
& Symbols folder. Any template you choose has been set up to print correctly on the
DuraLabel 9000 printer with minimal augmentation.
8.1.2 SETTING UP A MICROSOFT WORD DOCUMENT
When opening a document, change size and margins to
match your label’s size. (Word processors default to
8.5" x 11".) Click on the File menu, then Page Setup.
Click the Margins tab on the Page Setup dialog box
that appears. Set all Margins to 0 to print on the entire
supply.
