Chapter 3 : Creating a Project

3.3. Labels

 

 

 

 

 

 

General introduction

The Labels function allows you to add the following capabilities to your

 

123 Print projects

 

 

 

Associate pre-designed labels

 

 

 

Associate screen prompts with a label to collect user input, such as

 

an item product code, to be printed dynamically on the label

 

Collect input from printer peripherals, such as a barcode scanner or

 

weight scale, to be printed dynamically on a label

 

Add logic to manipulate the input data, such as extract the weight

 

from a weight scale input data stream, and merge it into the label

 

to be printed

 

 

 

This section describes how to associate an existing label to your project.

 

This can be a static label you simply want to print. It can also be a

 

static label you want to use as a template for creating dynamic labels.

 

This section also describes the functions available for creating a

 

dynamic label using screen prompts, peripheral inputs, and processing

 

logic. This combination of screens, variable data, and logic is referred to

 

as a label program.

 

 

 

The pre-designed labels that you associate with your 123 Print project

 

may be any DPL label or a label created using Seagull Scientific’s

 

BarTender. Please reference Chapter 4 – Designing a Label for

 

information about creating BarTender labels for 123 Print.
