Print a label

1. Select Printer Setup on the File menu to select the printer and change its settings if necessary.

2. Select Preview on the File menu to preview the printout before printing or select Print on the File menu to print your label without a preview.

3. Set your printing options using the Print Options dialog box.

4. Click OK.

Note:

•

If you have the Set printer orientation and page size automatically option checked on the Printing tab of the Options dialog box Label Designer Plus DELUXE will try to select the printer's page size and orientation for you even after you choose it manually. If the automatic selection is incorrect or you want to choose manually be sure to uncheck this option first.

Tips:

•	Because all printers are slightly different, it is recommended that you print a single page draft of your label the first time you print. Do this on regular paper and verify that the alignment is correct to avoid wasting expensive label stock.

•	When you choose Preview you can see how your label will look when printed and what area on the page is not printed by your printer hardware. Most printers have an area around the edge of the page that cannot be printed on, which is indicated by the red rectangle on the preview screen.

•

Many paper stocks have printable area outside the printable area of most printers. If the edges of your label are cutoff when printed or outside the red rectangle on the preview screen, move the objects in your label further from the edge. The printer's unprintable area is a hardware limitation. No software can print in this area. The unprintable area is usually 0.25-0.50 inches (6.35-12.7 mm) or more around the edge of the page on all sides.
