Configure Label Line Menu Options
The MilliSentials™ Lab Labeling System Software allows
you to customize the content of your lab labels.
To open this menu, click in any light blue Label Field. After you have
entered the text and configured it, press SAVE to go back to the Label
Preview screen. Repeat for each line in the lab label.
Fixed Value
Enter text that remains the same across multiple labels (Example: Lab
name). The cursor defaults into the Enter Text area, so if using this
option, simply type. Characters are automatically limited based on
your font size and chosen vessel type. See
Print Date
This predefined field enters the current date from your device.
User Initials
Enters the user's initials from their profile. You must
be logged in to use this feature.
Value + Increment
Enter text followed by a number that will increase
automatically with each label. You may choose the
number to start your increments by using +/-.
Example: Aliquot #1, the next label will
be Aliquot #2 and so on.
Note: User defined characters will be limited
(see table right) to accommodate the added
characters in the increment.
Variable Field
Choose this to enter unique data for each lab label
printed. A pop-up prompt will interrupt printing
to enter unique text.
Example: If printing labels for different samples
use this for entering a unique sample name for each label).
Note: if the character limit for the chosen vessel size is exceeded
in the variable field, the Software will not print.
Spreadsheet
This option enables you to use a spreadsheet already loaded
from the Spreadsheet Tab. See
To select specific data into a Label Field, click on the column header name in the
configure label line menu, and in the spreadsheet tab, check the boxes to select
specific rows. If you select 10 spreadsheet rows, you will print 10 lab labels.
Column headers will not print.
Note: For 0.5-0.6mL tube and plate or dish vessel formats, there are
3 lab labels per full label. For these formats, each row of a spreadsheet
is predefined to fill one third portion of the label.
IMPORTANT: By default, all rows in the spreadsheet are automatically
selected unless you select specific rows.
IMPORTANT: The spreadsheet data may print outside of the label area
after the maximum number of characters has been met. If the spreadsheet
data is longer than the label's character limit, the data does not automatically
wrap to the next line.
