Mobile Printer CPCLProgramming Manual P1-9
LABEL VISTA™
Label Vista is a stand-alone program running in
Windows
®
95/NT that allows users with little or no pro-
gramming background to design labels which can be
printed on certain model Zebra portable printers. It com-
bines an intuitive graphically based user environment
with powerful, but easily mastered, editing tools.
Label Vista allows the creation of printable, fixed-size
(pre-scaled) fonts derived from an included library of
TrueType™ fonts, which greatly enhances the versatility
of this program.
In addition, Label Vista allows the easy creation of format
files which can remain resident in the printer and be
merged with variable data files sent from the host. This
provides a very efficient method of printing labels that
have a mixture of data fields that change from label to la-
bel and elements that remain constant. Refer to Section
8 of this Manual for more information on format files.
Label Vista also provides a powerful set of diagnostics
tools. It is recommended that the Label Vista documen-
tation package be consulted for a more detailed descrip-
tion of the printer diagnostics available in this program.
Label Vista utilizes a subset of the full Mobile Printing
Systems Programming Language described in this
manual. Files created in Label Vista are fully compatible
with any other label files created using the complete set
of Mobile Printer commands.
Label Vista requires an IBM compatible personal com-
puter, running Windows 95 or later. A PC with the mini-
mum configuration to run Windows 95 will have sufficient
memory to run Label Vista.
Note: Label Vista has proven to be compatible with Windows XP
in informal testing, however, compatibility problems with certain
unusual combinations of hardware and software may arise.
