Chapter 3 : Creating a Project

To associate a label with your 123 Print project,

4Click the button at the bottom of the Labels List window

Each time you add a label, 123 Print assigns a sequence number to the label. This system assigned number is displayed in the Labels List window in the left most column called #. This number determines the sequence order in which the labels are displayed on the Select Label Screen (see Section 3.2.2 – Select Label Screen).

When you Add a label, the Label Properties screen is displayed as shown here

Label Properties

The Label Properties screen allows you to associate a given label to

 

your project. The Label Properties screen is also the entry point to

 

create a label program.

 

5 Set the label properties as appropriate for the given label:

 

Nbr

Enter the number you wish to assign to the label

 

 

in your 123 Print project. This number is displayed

 

 

on the Select Label Screen when the user is

 

 

choosing which label to print for a given operation

 

File Name

Enter the path and name or browse to search for

 

 

the label you want to add to your project. Valid

 

 

file types are *.btw, *.dpl and *.txt (if the *.txt

 

 

file contains DPL code)

 

Label Name

Assign a name to this label. This is displayed on

 

 

the Select Label screen when the user is choosing

 

 

which label to print for a given operation.

 

Quantity to

If you want the user to enter a quantity, check the

 

Print

Prompt for quantity checkbox. Assign a default

 

 

value and maximum value to help the user. If you

 

 

want to set a fixed quantity to print with no user

 

 

prompting, uncheck the Prompt for quantity

 

 

checkbox and enter the fixed value in the default

 

 

value box. These entries are used on the Quantity

 

 

to Print screen as described in Section 3.2.3.

 

After Print

Setup what you want to do after the label has

 

 

been printed. You can

 

 

ƒ Loop on the same label. This returns you

 

 

to the first screen of the label program

 

 

ƒ Return to the Select Label screen

 

 

ƒ Run a different label. Identify a label to

 

 

print next, automatically, without user

 

 

input. Reference it by its Nbr number.
