Then double-click each element to define its properties. Simply select the element type from the left toolbox and draw a rectangular selection frame on the area where the new element should appear. Once the changes are confirmed, Labeljoy should display a single blank label, such as the following:Īll the elements you need to print on the label must now be added. The layout form should look like this to take this specific scenario into account:Īs you can see, in the Page frame the paper size has been selected as User-defined, and the total width (including margins) and the net height (excluding the gap between labels) of the label have been entered.ġ column and 1 line have been entered in the Labels frame because the printer considers each label as a single page.įinally, in the Margins frame we entered 0.15 cm for the left and right margins and 0.00 cm for the top and bottom margins. This usually needs some tweaking since each printer behaves differently and a little testing might be necessary. In this case, however, this is not taken into account because the printer driver uses this distance to detect the start / end position of each label. Note that there also is a vertical distance between each label. In this tutorial we will use a roll of 5 by 3 cm labels with a horizontal margin of 0.15 cm on each side. Roll printers consider each label as a single page, therefor the paper layout must be set to 1 column and 1 line, according to the size of the label, including margins. We will generate a typical label for internal use with text and a barcode and will print it with a Zebra TLP 3842 roll printer.
If you work with a roll printer this tutorial will help you understand the steps required to properly setup Labeljoy to print to a roll printer. The cost per label is usually lower, and using a dedicated printer can help you avoid problems that are often associated with a standard printer, such as having to load the correct paper every time you have to print labels. Roll printers are the best choice if you need to print many labels.
