If using the optional verifier, allow a minimum no-scan zone at the top of the label of 1.3" (33 mm) for speeds 6.0 ips or less; 1.8"

(46 mm) for 8.0 ips; and 2.2" (56 mm) for 10.0 ips.

Use the following formulas to convert inches to dots and metric:

Dots = inches x 203 (or 300 dots per inch) Metric (1/10mm) = inches x 254

English (1/100 inch) = 100 x (dots/203) or (dots/300) Dots = Metric (1/10 mm) x 799/1000 (or 1181/1000)

300 dpi depends on your printer.

After you decide what information you want to print, sketch how you want the information to appear on the label. Note any areas that are preprinted on the label, such as a logo.

As soon as you know what information to include on the label, and you have a rough sketch, you can use a supply layout grid to help you layout and size your label. If you do not want to use a grid, go to "Considering Field Types" to choose what information you want on your label.
