variety of file formats, step and repeat them across a page and print them to the CX1200e.
5.1 Array images with PTPrint Wizard
1. To open PTPrint go to Start - All Programs - PTPrint folder - PTPrint or click the PTPrint icon
on your desktop.
2. The print layout wizard will appear. Click the Browse button to find the label you want to
print. The following formats are supported via the print layout wizard: BMP, EPS, JPG, GIF,
PCX, PNG, TIFF.
3. Once the graphic has been selected the size and dpi will automatically appear in the fields
below. The graphic should be 300 dpi or greater to achieve the best quality. Resolutions above
300 dpi are not necessary and only serve to increase the file size. Adjust the label size as neces-
sary. By default, aspect ratio will be maintained. The DPI will be increased if you decrease the
size of the label.
