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 PRO/PRO 300 is designed to work with any currently supported Windows

software and should work with the software installed on your computer. Microsoft

Word 2003 and 2010 were used to describe many 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 PRO/PRO 300 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 PRO/PRO 300 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 PRO/PRO 300 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.

Set Orientation to Portrait if label

width is the same dimension as the

supply width loaded in your printer. Set

orientation to Landscape if label height

is the same as the supply width loaded

in your printer. Click OK when done.

Now select the Paper tab and set the

Paper size to the size label you want

to create. Either the Width or Height

should match the width of supply loaded in your printer.
