U s i n g S u p p l y L a y o u t G r i d s A supply layout grid contains measurement markers. These markers help you accurately position information on your label. If you want to use supply layout grids, a copy is shown on this page. Make copies of this page for each of your formats.
If your data is a price, remember to include the currency symbol (dollars, francs, etc.) in the length of your field. See Chapter 3, “Configuring the Printer” for more information about setting a currency symbol. The range is 0 – 40.
Font and Font When working with fonts, you have three considerations: Size ♦ font appearance ♦ font size ♦ font spacing (monospaced or proportional) See Appendix B, "Using Fonts," for more information. Rotation The rotation of your field or individual characters. Fields and characters can be rotated 0, 90, 180, or 270 degrees.
This way causes the software to display a warning, which you can ignore. See Chapter 3, “Configuring the Printer,” to learn how to suppress the display of warnings if you prefer to do so.
Valid ranges for the prompts are listed as well as information about using text fields. Format Name Depending on your printer’s configuration, enter a name for the format. For more information about your printer’s configuration, see Chapter 3, “Configuring the Printer.” The maximum number of characters for the format name is 16.

Data Edits NOTE: Make Shoe size and Make into Price are not allowed for bar code fields. Setting the Appearance UPC and EAN bar codes only. The appearance of the bar code is the combination of number system and/or check digits shown with the bar code. You are prompted for the appearance during format creation, unless the configuration specifies to use the default.
Setting the Density The density is the amount of data per unit length in a bar code. Generally, you measure the density in characters per inch or as percentages of the nominal size. Density values vary by bar code. The following table lists these values.
