clear variable information.

Add text fields to the layout.

Using variable 1 and 2.

variable 1 is assigned to 62.50 (the price of the shoe)

Add a box field to the layout. Note! This

field entierly covers the “testlabel” field, the

result will be a black box with the white

text inside, since the printer uses the XOR

bit manipulation for overlapping fields.

variable 2 is assigned 42 (the size of the shoe)

print the label

Add a barcode field to the layout, also

using variable 1.
