Label Types
Framing a Label
Framing a Label
A printable, or XY cut out frame (border) can be added to an entire label, surrounding all object
elements on the label.
Note: When printing with frames around the labels, be sure the media guides fit snug against the
media so the tape does not shift while printing. For making fine adjustments to the frame, see
“Adjusting Print Offset” on page 56.
For fixed-size labels, when using continuous or die-cut media, the frame is applied to the outer
perimeter of the printable area. If changed, the frame size changes with the label size.
To place a frame (border) around the entire label:
1. Touch Menu.
2. Under Label, touch Frame.
3. In the Label Frame dialog box, touch the desired frame shape: None, Rect., or Rounded.
4. Under Line properties, touch the frame line width: Narrow, Medium, or Wide.
5. For a colored frame, touch Color.
6. Touch the desired label frame color, then touch OK.
7. When your changes are complete, touch OK.
Label Types
The printer provides a number of pre-designed label types, containing different object elements and
data fields already positioned on the label.
General Templates
The printer provides a number of pre-designed label templates, containing different object elements.
Using a template makes it easier to format labels. When you power up the printer, the default label is a
free-form custom label, allowing you to use any object on the label. When choosing the General
Templates you are presented with a grid of labels with specific object elements already placed on the
label. All you have to do is fill in the requested data (i.e., text, graphics, etc.). General Templates are
designed for use with die cut or continuous labels.
To use a template, on the Home page:
1. Touch More Label Types.
OR
Touch Menu then, under Label, touch Templates.
Note: If General Templates is a label type you use often, place it in the Home Page control panel
for easy access. (See Customizing the Home Page on “Customizing the Home Page” on
page 64.)
