Counter

Date-Time

You can choose from many standard barcode symbologies, including Code 39, Code 128, Codabar, UPC A/E, EAN 8/13, ITF-14, POSTNET, PLANET, and Interleaved 2 of 5 barcodes.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 barcode size and position. See the online Help for more information about the barcode symbologies supported.

The counter object automatically numbers a series of labels. For example, you could use a counter object to automatically serialize a bunch of raffle tickets. You can specify text you want to appear before and after the counter (for example, “Disk # of ten”), as well as the starting number and the increments for counting (1, 10, 100, and so on). You can also specify the font settings for the counter information, as well as other attributes.

The date-time object stamps the current date and/or time on labels using any one of several of pre- defined formats. As with counter objects, you can specify the text you want to appear in front of and behind the date-time (for example, “Today’s date is”). You can choose from a variety of date formats, including European formats. You can include or exclude the time and use the 24-hour time format (13:00, 22:00, and so on). You can control the font settings and other attributes for the date- time information.

Curved Text The curved text object is similar to the text object, but allows you to place the text along a curve. This object can be used for placing text around the perimeter of a round CD label or for simply adding text in an arc on any label. You can choose to display the text as a full circle or as a semi- circle along the top or bottom of the label. You can also choose to mirror the text. As with the text object, the curved text object can be used as a variable text object and you can control the font settings and object position.
