SECTION 3
OPERATING THE PRINTER
g. Height of label = is equal to the number of printheads the model of Printer you are using times 1/2-inch.
In our example we are using a 5-head printer, therefore the height is 2-1/2 inches.
h. Form Top & Bottom Margins = should be set at 0.100 to insure that none of the data is lost.
i. Height between labels = 0.000
j. Form Height = the height of the printhead area or slightly larger.
5. Name the form in the For
m name box and click OK.
Create Layout
Once the Barcode font supplied with the Printer Driver Disk is installed on your computer and the form is setup, the
layout that you are using in DeskTop Mailer® must be created.
1. Open the DeskTop Mailer
®
application and then open the Data
file.
2. Click on P
rint and open the
T
emplate Design. (In the
example we are using Non-
presorted Labels. This same step
holds true for Presorted Labels)
3. Click on T
emplate Design and the “Choose Template for Printing” window will open. Select the
template you wish to use from the list, then click on E
dit.. and the “Edit Template” window will open.
Or select N
ew... to create a new template.
4. In our sample we are creating a new template and placing the Barcode below the address lines. When
creating a new template first highlight “Define Font” command and click on Inse
rt command. The
“Font Selection” window opens. Select the F
ont style, the Size, and assign a Font Number. Then click
OK.
5. Highlight the “Font = 1” command and click on Inse
rt command. Then highlight FIRST in the
Database Fields list and click on Insert field. Repeat this for the next field, and press ENTER to go to
the next line. Once the address fields are entered on the T
emplate the next step is to add the Barcode.
6. The barcode will become Font 2. Begin by highlighting the “Define Font” command and the click on the
Inse
rt command. The “Font Selection” window opens. Select the BarcodeUSPS font, Size 11 - 12,
(choose the correct size for your application, you may use fractional numbers such as 11.5) and assign
Font Number 2 to it. Then click OK.
7. Highlight the “Font = 1” command and click on Inse
rt command. Then change the 1 in {F,1} to 2.
8. Click S
ave. Insert a “|” line (bar) next and then build the barcode data. In our example it is ZIP, DP2,
and DPC. Finish this up with another “|”.
9. Now save your template by typing in a unique name in the File n
ame box, then Click Save.
