Sizing An Object To Template; Locking Text And Bar Codes - Avery Dennison Label Printer User Manual

If you are using a product that supports printing to the edge and want the background to cover
the entire label, you will need to set a bleeding value before using the Set As Background
command. To set a Bleeding value, refer to the Customizing DesignPro Settings section in
DesignPro Tools.

Sizing an Object to Template

To adjust the size of an object to the size of the current label template, click on the object to
select it. Select Layout > Size to Template or click on the Advanced toolbar. The size and
position of the object will change to fit the label. Non-rectangular objects will never fill the
label completely.
Some label templates may contain multiple panels. For instance, if the front and back of a
greeting card print on the same side of the sheet, the Label tab will contain separate panels for
the front and back. If the label template contains multiple panels and you select the Size to
Template command, you will be prompted to click one of the panels. The object will then size
to that panel.
If you are using a product that supports printing to the edge and want the object to cover the
entire label, you will need to set a bleeding value before using the Size to Template command.
To set a Bleeding value, refer to the Customizing DesignPro Settings section in DesignPro
Tools.
If you want to maintain the proportions of an object when Sizing To Template and avoid
image distortion, select Tools > Options > Objects tab and select the Maintain Object's
Aspect Ratios when Sizing to Template option. Small adjustments may need to be made as
the graphic may or may not fill the template if maintaining proportions.

Locking Text and Bar Codes

To lock the content of a text object to prevent it from being edited inadvertently, select the text
object. Select Edit > Lock Content. Note that although text inside the object is locked, it is
still possible to select, edit and delete the object itself. To unlock the content, click on the
object to select it. Select Edit > Lock Content again.
This function can be used for text objects, round text objects and bar code objects. Objects
with locked content can be identified by the "padlock" that appears when you move the mouse
over the text.
