LabelMark Overview
Label Editor Screen
When you create or open a label file, the label editor screen appears. It includes the following:
•
Menus and toolbars.
•
The editor displays the labels approximately as they will print.
•
The dashed lines show the size of the text. The gray hatch marks represent a partial line(s) of text
– you are not allowed to place anything in this area and it will not print. The size and location of
the gray hatch marks depends on the font size and vertical justification.
•
The dark gray area is the label background. (Double-click the background to select all labels.)
•
The active (or current) label is outlined. When you select more than one label, the darker shaded
label is active. A file can include up to 10,000 labels.
•
The flashing text cursor shows where text will appear when you start typing.
•
The status bar at the bottom of the screen lists: application status and useful information such as
the current printer, label part, etc.
Note: The editor described above is for the LabelMark application, which allows you to create text-only
labels. The LabelMark Plus application, also included on the LabelMark CD, allows you to incorporate
images, barcodes, rectangles and lines on your labels. The LabelMark Plus editor adds menus and toolbars
for these additional objects (see LabelMark vs. LabelMark Plus).
Menu Bar and Toolbars
Use the pull-down menu bar and toolbars to access commands you need to create, open, format, save and
print label files.
The commands available depend on what is selected and on whether you are working in LabelMark or
LabelMark Plus. The system enables or disables commands as appropriate. Disabled commands appear
grayed out on the menu or toolbar.
You can also access many commands via a right-click with your mouse.
•
Right-click text or an object to display the commands that apply to it.
•
Right-click the label background to display commands that apply to the entire label file.
