Using Label Vista

Label Vista is a program running under the Windows™ environment that allows users to design labels which can be printed on the full range of Zebra mobile printers.

Label Vista also provides a powerful set of diagnostics tools which use familiar Win- dows “point and click” routines. These tools can be reached under the Printer selection on the Label Vista menu bar.
