Label Types
Application Label Types
Application Label Types
General Templates contain standard formats used for most generic labels. Application label types,
however, provide wizards that guide and control the layout for specific label applications, according to
industry or government standards. For most application label types, dialog boxes display to collect
information for automatically formatting the application label. For information on the data requested by
the different applications, refer to that particular label type on the following pages.
1. To use an application label type, first launch the application.
2. From the Home page, in the control panel, touch More Label Types.
3. In the list of label types, touch the label type desired.
The label type’s wizard is launched.
4. In the Control Panel for the label type touch Create New File.
Many of the label types contain multiple dialog boxes to contain all the requested information. If
multiple dialog boxes exist, Next and Back buttons display.
5. Enter the requested data, then touch Next.
6. When all requested information is satisfied, touch Finish.
Clearing
The name of the specific type being used is displayed in the Control Panel. When you are using an
application label type, clearing the data removes the data you entered but the application label type
parameters remain. To exit out of the application label type and return to the general editing mode of
the printer, touch Home. You are prompted to save the label type data before being returned to the
general template mode.
Save, Open, Delete
Application label types (pipe marker, circle gauge, etc.) are saved under the guidelines and
parameters of the application in which they are created. Just as in a PC application (e.g., spreadsheet
program, graphic program, etc.), you must be in the specific application in order to open that
application’s files. For instance, you cannot open a pipe marker file in the Right-to-Know application.
Likewise, you cannot save a general template file and expect it to take on the attributes and formats of
a gradient scale application label type. (For more information on file management, see page 88.)
While the mechanics of saving, opening, and deleting an application label type file are the same as a
general template label file, the parameters saved with the file are different. Therefore, it is important to
realize what application you are in when saving a file.
