Counter
Date-Time
You can choose from many standard barcode symbologies, including Code 39, Code 128, Codabar, UPC A/E, EAN 8/13,
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
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.
