Distribution Panel Label
Distribution panel labels are created by specifying the number of connectors and
the center to center distance between each connector.
One text object is automatically added for each connector. Additional text box,
barcode, image, and shape objects cannot be added to distribution panel labels.
Text size and style apply to all connectors on the label and all labels in the file.
When
Auto fit text
is selected for font size, the text is automatically resized to fit
that connector. So you may see differences in text size for each connector.
Use serialization to automatically populate the connectors. When all the
connectors are filled on the current label, a new label is created. See
Creating a
Series of Labels
on page 35.
Distribution panel labels can be printed on any type of continuous labels.
The label properties you can set are:

templates from your computer.
You can add or edit any text, barcode, image, or shape objects on the label but

Text size and style apply to the currently selected text. If no text is selected, the
size and style apply to all the text in the text box.
