Landscape	Sets the label to print in Landscape mode,
	where the height of the label is the width of
	the tape supply. This is the default.

Portrait	Sets the label to print in Portrait mode,
	where the width of the label is the width of
	the tape supply.

Choose OK when your settings are complete. If your label width is larger than the printable area of your tape supply, the system displays a message that provides the maximum size you can use.

Choose Cancel to return to the Editor window without making changes to the label.

Adding a label frame

You can add a frame around the edge of a label in the shape of a rectangle or a rectangle with rounded corners. This is a sample label with a rounded rectangle frame added:

Figure 6-15. A sample label with a frame.

You can make the frame line thick or thin, and if you have the Multicolor or Color & Cut system, you can set a color for the line. If you have the Color & Cut system, you can also cut out the label around the frame boundaries. See Cutting Around Label Frames on page 10-10 for instructions.
