Rectangle objects, like line objects, are primarily design
elements you can use to enhance a label's appearance.
Rectangles can be used to create borders around objects.
You can specify shades of gray to fill the rectangle. You
can also specify the thickness of the rectangle border.
Bar code objects display and print bar codes on your
labels. You can use bar code objects to display fixed
information that you enter or variable information
obtained from another object. When you link a bar code
object to another object, the bar code object encodes the
information contained in the linked object. Furthermore, if
you change the information in the linked object, the
program automatically updates the bar code object to
encode the new information.
For example, you may want to link the bar code object to a
part number text object on a label. When you update the
part number text object on the label, the bar code object is
automatically updated.
You can choose from many standard bar code symbologies
including Code 39, Code 128, Codabar, UPC A/E, EAN 8/
13, ITF-14 and Interleaved 2 of 5 bar codes.You can
choose to include or exclude human readable text
(alphanumeric information) and specify the font settings
for the text. You can also select the bar code size and
position.
You can use counter objects to automatically number a
series of labels. For example, you could use a counter
object to automatically serialize a bunch of raffle tickets.
You can also specify text you want to appear in front and
behind the counter (for example, "Disk # of ten"), as well
as the starting number and the increments for counting
(1,10,100, and so on). DYMO Label Software will also let
you specify the font settings for the counter information,
as well as other attributes.
You can use date-time objects to stamp the current date
and/or time on labels using any one of a number of
predefined formats. As with counter objects, you can
specify the text you want to appear in front of and/or
behind the date-time (for example, "Today's date is").
DYMO Label Software offers a variety of date formats,
