Preview Pictures
When you place a picture on the label, in design mode it is always shown in color-depth as
defined in the picture.
However, when previewing the labels on-screen, the preview of the pictures depends on the
dithering option set in the printer driver. All color pictures (except WMF and EMF files) are
converted to monochrome images. The illusion of colors and shades of grey is accomplished
by varying the pattern of dots. More dots close together will provide a darker shade of grey.
The preview of the label will show pictures in the same way as they will be printed according
to the dithering setting. A more accurate print preview is guaranteed this way.
If the picture is not previewed as you would like to print it, change the dithering setting in the
printer driver.
Preview and Print a Label
If you want to print a label, you can use the print preview to simulate a print output. The label
preview shows the label on the screen.
Simulate printing 10 labels on the screen to check label layout and printing procedure.
1. In the Standard Toolbar click the button or from the File menu select the
Print command.
The Print dialog box appears.
2. Enter 10 for Label Quantity and click on the Preview button.
ZebraDesigner Pro will close the dialog box and simulate the production for 10 labels on
the screen.
Note • You can select between the quantity of the labels and the quantity of pages. The
page can have one or more labels, and the labels are arranged on the page in columns and
rows. If you have eight labels on the page, quantity of ten pages will print 80 labels.
When you are certain that the labels will be printed correctly and the preview shows the
correct values, you can proceed to real printing.
To actually print the labels, do the following:
3. In the Standard Toolbar, click the button.
The Print dialog box appears.
4. Enter 10 for the Label Quantity and click the Print button.
Your printer will now print 10 labels.
