Print Label
                          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 simple
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).
