Counter
Rectangle and ellipse objects, like line objects, primarily
serve as design elements you can use to enhance a label's
appearance. A rectangle or ellipse can be used to create
borders around other objects. You can specify shades of
gray to fill the object. You can also specify the thickness of
the object's border.
Bar code objects simply serve to display and print bar
codes on your labels. You can use bar code objects to
display fixed information you enter or link a bar code
object to 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 to a part
number on a tag. When you update the part number text
object on the label, the bar code object is updated
automatically. You do not have to link the bar code to any
other object.
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 group of raffle tickets.
You can also specify text you want to appear in front of
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
allows you to specify the font settings for the counter
information, as well as other attributes.
