Address labels
A label or form that contains whatever information you
want to print, such as name and address data. The USPS
governs the content of these labels.
Banner pages
Pages that separate groups of labels (for example, a job,
unit, or subunit) or reports.
Design files
Contain all of the information that Label Studio needs
to know about your labels and the printer you will use.
Your Label Studio job must have a design file assigned
to it in order to print your labels.
Label types
Kinds of labels you can generate with Label Studio
(generics, address, sack, tray, and pallet).
Layout templates
A layout that is part of the design file. Contains the
layout of your labels, including the position of your
fields, barcodes, and other objects.
Page templates
A layout that is part of the design file. Contains
attributes of the paper that you are printing on,
including the paper size, number of labels per page, and
margins.
Pallet placards
Large pieces of paper affixed to pallets. The USPS
governs the contents and size of the placards.
Parameters
Options you can set to control various aspects of label
printing. Parameters are found in each job file block. In
some cases, you turn them on and off, and in others,
you assign values to them.
Sack labels
Container labels affixed to sacks. The USPS governs
the content and size of these labels.
Stock
Paper on which you print labels or placards, such as
sheet labels, continuous labels, forms, or specialty
forms.
Subunits
Divisions of units. These are divisions of the label
output based on number of records or mail pieces.
Tray labels
Container labels affixed to trays or tubs. The USPS
governs the content and size of these labels.
Test labels
Labels used to check if Label Studio and your printer
are communicating correctly. Create test labels using
the Test layer in Label Toolbox. These labels are used
for testing purposes only, not for production.
Units
Groups of records with common input file values. For
example, you could form a unit based on entry point, or
by documented mailings. You create units so that you
can have separate output files, with one unit per output
file.
