Introduction

The Print Label program helps you print simple labels on your printer (dot matrix recommended).  The program completely bypasses windows and prints directly to the hardware.  You can specify how many labels you want, an incremental counter (for a serial/asset number), the number of lines between labels, number of lines per label, etc.  The label always prints in the printers current font and size.

You are prompted for the contents of the label and other information about the output format.  You may also indicate how many labels you want to print and the starting number for a sequential counter.

Anywhere you want to print the current counter number simply include the two characters ^C (caret and capital C).  This string will be replaced by the current counter number (which is incremented between each label).

Saving and Restoring a Label

Saving a Label Format

Print Label allows you to save the current label format and all the additional parameters (label size, sequential counter, etc.) for later use.

Select Save or Save As from the File menu.  You are prompted for the file name you want to save the current label format to.  The file should have the extention ".LAB" to make it easier to find later.

Restoring a Label Format

Print Label allows you to open a previously saved label format and all the additional parameters (label size, sequential counter, etc.)..

Select Open from the File menu.  You are prompted for the file name you want to open.  By default all files with the ".LAB" extention are displayed for you to select.

Opening an existing label overwrites the current label format.  Please remember to save the current label if necessary.

Allow the label to be wider than the imput field.  Use the scroll bars to see more of the label.

Changed the display font to a non-proportional font for easier aligment of label contents.
