Before you create a format packet, you must design your label. There are several steps to designing a custom label:

1.Decide which fields should appear on your label. See "Determining Format Contents" for more information.

2.Determine your label size. Labels are available from Paxar in a wide variety of sizes. Your application and the amount of data you need to print determines the supply size. Contact your Account Manager or Technical Support for more information.

3.Draw a rough sketch of your label. You may want to draw several variations to see what works best. See "Drawing Rough Sketches" for more information.

4.Identify the field types that appear on your label. See "Considering Field Types" for more information.

5.Decide which fonts you want to use. See "Considering Fonts" for more information.

6.Fill out your Format Worksheet. See "Using the Format Worksheet" for more information.

At this point, you are ready to send your design to the printer. To do this:

7.Create a format packet, based on how you filled out your worksheet. See Chapter 3, "Defining Fields," for more information.

8.Download your format packet to the printer. See Chapter 6, "Printing," for more information.
