2. Designing a Format

3.What system are you using to measure supplies and fields? You have three choices.

E English. Measure in 1/100 inches. M Metric. Measure in 1/10 millimeters.

G Graphic. Measure in dots. 192 dots = 1 inch. Write E, M, or G in box F5.

All field dimensions in the format must follow the system selected here.

4.Tear off one label or tag from your supply roll. Position it in the lower-left corner of the grid.

Make sure the bottom left corner of the supply aligns with the lower left corner of the grid. (The bottom is the edge that exits the printer first.)

5.Measure the length of the supply from bottom to top, using the ruler marks on the left side of the grid.

When measuring aperture and black mark supplies, measure from top to top as shown below.
