Previewing Your Label, Aligning the Text

The barcode prints horizontally along the label with the text in small print underneath the barcode. You can optionally add text before and after the barcode. Or, you can add text above or below the barcode by creating a two-line label. See Creating Multi-Line Labels on page 11.
