Creating Labels Using Internal Batch Software

2.The software’s two operating screens are create/modify label and print label.

All data is entered into fields. A field is a set of information such as a product name, address, bar code, number, etc., that is specified on individual lines on the CRT screen. Because fields are independent of each other, it is possible and sometimes desirable, to place two or more fields on the same horizontal or vertical measurement. Be careful not to print one field over another.

Notice in the upper left-hand corner of the screen that the current field number is displayed. This program can accommodate up to 200 fields per format. Use the return key or the arrow keys to move the cursor around within the 200 fields, one field at a time. A sample label format is illustrated in Figure 3-4. To create a label, press the F1 key to return to the create/modify label screen. The cursor will be in the label name position.
