Original Label Making

Creating an Original Label Layout

There are two templates for creating an original label layout: the Free Text label template and the Free Design label template. For details about more basic label creation procedures, see the steps under “Automated Label Layout”.

Free Text Label Template

Free Design Label Template

•The Free Text label template lets you input text using many of the same techniques available on a word processor application.

•You can specify the font, font size, and other settings on a text string level. Images can be inserted as the background of a label (page 62), and you can even insert different images for the upper label area and the lower label area.

•The Free Design Label Template gives you maximum control over the appearance of the label you are creating.

•It lets you input text and images into individual fields, which you can then place in label areas as you like.

•You can have a total of 40 fields in the upper and lower label areas.

Free Text and Free Design Common Characteristics

•The following characteristics are common to both the Free Text label template and the Free Design label template.

• CD-Text, Media Player, and Easy CD Creator track name data, as well as file names and folder names can be impor ted into labels.

•Font and font size settings are configured using toolbar buttons.

•The Text Layout panel appears dimmed, which means it is not available.
