Formatting Labels and Areas Labels and Areas Multiple labels can be created in one label file, with each new label being inserted immediately after the current label. Areas are used to apply different formatting (such as justification, rotation, and frames) to different parts of a single label.
Formatting Labels and Areas Go To Label or Area To move to another label: 1. Press the Label key. 2. Select GoTo, then enter the number of the label desired. To move to another area on a label with multiple areas: Area can only be used on continuous label supply.
Formatting Labels and Areas Delete Label or Area Deleting a label removes all data and formatting on that particular label. If multiple areas exist on one label, when that label is deleted all the areas associated with that one label are also deleted. Deleting an area removes all data and formatting from that one area on one particular label.
Formatting Labels and Areas Justification Justification refers to the alignment of data between boundaries (margins) on a label or in an area. There are two types of justification: horizontal and vertical. Horizontal justification (H. Justify) aligns data between the left and right boundaries of a label or area, while Vertical justification (V. Justify) aligns data between the top and bottom boundaries of a label or area.
Formatting Labels and Areas To rotate data: 1. Navigate to the label or area where rotation will take affect. 2. To set rotation for the label, press Label. To set rotation for an area, press FN and Area. 3. Choose Rotate and select the degree of rotation. Rotated data is autosized to accommodate the height versus the width of the label.
Formatting Labels and Areas Frames do not display on the editing screen. Use “Print Preview” on page 65 to view the label or area frames. Note: Frames do not display edge to edge, but may appear slightly offset from the very edge of the label.
Formatting Labels and Areas Vertical Text In Vertical text, each character drops down a line below the preceding character. Example: The word “WIRE” as vertical text displays as such: Vertical text can only be applied to an area or a label. It cannot be applied line-by-line. To format text vertically: 1.
Formatting Barcode If a barcode is in the line of text to be placed vertically, or if the height of the label cannot accommodate the vertical placement of text, an error message displays. Note: See “Error Messages” on page 30 for information on clearing an error message from the screen.
Formatting Barcode Barcode Settings Before entering a barcode, determine the barcode symbology and attributes to use. Note: Additional barcode types are supported in Brady Workstation software. To access the barcode settings: 1. Press Label. 2. Select Barcode. 3. Input the desired settings.
Formatting Barcode The barcode displays on the screen as the data is being entered. Figure 3-9. Barcode in line of text When finished with the barcode entry, if you want to enter more data on the same line of text as the barcode: 1.
Formatting Serialization Serialization Serialization (or sequencing) automatically adds a series of sequential numbers or letters to the printed labels. The Serial function consecutively places the next number or letter in the defined sequence on individual labels. The number of labels created is defined by the sequence values you enter, and displays in the Header Bar.
Formatting Serialization In a multi-sequence serialization, where the second set of values is NOT dependent on the first set (that is, Linked box NOT checked), the two sequences increment sequentially, independent of each other. Example: Multiple serializations (where the second set of values is NOT dependent on the first set of values) Sequence #1 Sequence #2...
Page 59
Formatting Serialization For simple serialization: 3. With the cursor immediately displayed in the Start Value field of Sequence #1, enter the start value of the sequence. If the start value is larger than the end value, the series will decrement automatically. 4.

Formatting List If your label does not have the same number of defined areas as there are fields in the data source, the List function asks if you want to add additional areas. 6. Tap Ignore if you do not want to add additional areas. The fields from the data source sequentially merge into the label, depending on how many areas are defined on the label.
Formatting List The screen indicates how many fields are on the particular label. You can change which field in the data source you want to display in the areas of your label. Additionally, you can choose to ignore blank labels. Available Defining areas on the...

Printing Labels Print History Print History Print History is a convenient feature that enables easy access to recently used files. When Print History is turned on it keeps track of the last 10 label files created and printed from the editor; labels imported from an external source will not appear in the history.
6 Label Types Label types provide templates that guide and control the layout for label formats and may require specific label supply. The label types available are: • General • WireMarker • Flags • Terminal Block, Patch Panel, 66-Block, • 110-Block, Bix Block •...
Label Types WireMarker WireMarker The WireMarker label type is designed to repeat entered data down the length of the label.
