Labels And Areas; Add Label Or Area; Label Length - Brady BMP 61 User Manual

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. Areas can only be added to continuous label supply set to auto length mode.
However, area formatting can be applied to die cut labels that have pre-defined areas.
Note: You cannot set a fixed length of an area on a label that has multiple areas. The size of the
area is based on the amount of data entered and the font size of that data.

Add Label or Area

To add a label to a label file:
1. Press Label.
2. Choose Add.
The new label is inserted immediately after the current label and its number is reflected on the right
side of the Header bar. Each label added will be of the same application and label type.
To add an area to a single label:
1. Press FN and Area.
2. Choose Add.
A new area is inserted immediately after the current area and is reflected on the right side of the
Header bar. The font size used on the first line of the previous area carries over to the new area.

Label Length

Auto length is the default for continuous label supply. With Auto Length, the label will be as long as it
needs to be to accommodate the entered data, up to a maximum of 40 inches. You can, however, set
a fixed length for a label. A different length can be set for each label in a file.
Note: To change the unit of measure for the length see
To change the length of the label:
