Select your Paper Stock

Select your Paper Stock (Design Wizard)

Allows you to select the paper stock you want to use for your label. It also allows you to add, edit and delete paper stock layouts.

A paper stock layout describes the physical arrangement of a sheet of paper stock. It specifies the width and height of each element (label or card) on the page, the number of rows and columns, along with margins and the spacing between rows and columns. It also defines the size of a page of the paper stock and the way each element is divided into Regions.

Tips:

•	To display the All Layouts tab initially uncheck the Show the Basic option as the first step in the Design Wizard option in the Options dialog box (Advanced section).

•	If you cannot find the exact layout you need or you want to define a custom layout you should select the closest one then click the New button to add the new layout. (See Layout dialog box)

•	If you find that a layout is slightly off when printing on your printer you can use the Edit button to edit the layout so that all new designs created from it will print correctly without further adjustment.

•	If you have a Stock type or Manufacturer selected and you enter a Keyword, keep in mind that only results within the selected Stock type, Manufacturer and Units are displayed. To search all layouts for the selected unit type set the Stock type and Manufacturer to << ALL >>.

Reverse the Orientation checkbox

Check this option to reverse the orientation of the label Most layouts default to a portrait orientation, so checking this option would result in a layout in a landscape orientation. For example, check this option to create a tall (vertical) business card instead of a standard wide (horizontal) business card.
