Generating a POF File
The structure of a POF file is determined by the configuration file
(POC) that is used to generate it. A general configuration file is
provided with your labeling designer; it can be used as-is or as
the base for a customized configuration file.
Use the following steps to generate a POF file based on the
general POC. An example of a label design and its corresponding
POF file are shown in Figure 2.
1. Design a label using your labeling designer, adding as many
fixed or variable text, bar code and graphic fields as needed.
Test and fine-tune the design by printing to the printer using
your labeling designer.

choice. The file will be saved with the extension “.pof.”
