To the left of the media image are numbers. These correspond to the printheads and are marked with
the same numbers on the AstroJet 1000 Printer. When the numbers are in RED the print direction is
Forward and when the numbers are in BLUE the print direction is Reverse. To the right of the media
image is a line. This guideline can be moved to any point on the layout to assist you in lining up the
fields or information that you will be adding. To get all of the information to line up on a particular bank
move the line close to the position desired for the text fields and right click on the mouse while the
guideline is selected.
At the bottom of the window is the information line. It displays the database in use, the printer being
used, the ratio of the length of the piece to its height, the size of the piece in inches, and the
orientation of the print direction either forward or reverse.
