Printing Using a PC 25
NOTE on PC Settings:
Most applications allow you to change these same printer driver
options from their "Print" and/or "Printer Setup" screens. Some
applications such as NiceLabel save your settings with the label,
others use settings only for the current print job just sent to the
printer.
Paper Size
If you are using NiceLabel, this setting is adjusted during the
label setup wizard. If you are using a program other than
NiceLabel you will need to set this to the dimensions of the
your label. Keep in mind that the dimensions are always rela-
tive to the width and height of the actual label in the printer.
Orientation of an image on the label should not change this
setting. See Section 5 for minimum and maximum label sizes.
Orientation
There are two settings for orientation, Portrait and Landscape.
If your text and graphics print left to right or as shown on the
screen, select portrait . If you wish your printing to rotate 90
degrees from what you see on the screen so it is printing
horizontally, select landscape as your orientation. Remember,
this does not change the width and height Paper Size. It is
only a tool for viewing a label upright on screen that will be
printed sideways on the printer.
Portrait Landscape
Print Quality
There are 4 levels of print quality in the driver. The lower the
Quality, the faster the print. Quality 1 provides the fastest
print available while Quality 4 provides the best quality. It is
recommended that you experiment with the different levels
when designing your label to find a good balance between
print quality and print speed.
