Setting up the Label Design Software
This section describes how to set up your label design software to print on the QL-850.
Setting up Labels in CQL Pro
CQL Pro is a software application developed by QuickLabel to access special features in our
printers and allow customers to easily design and print labels.
For detailed label setup and printing instructions, please refer to the CQL Pro Help.
Setting up Labels in Third-Party Design Applications
You can design and print label files exclusively within a third-party application such as Adobe
Photoshop or Illustrator. In this situation, use the following guidelines to ensure best results.
Note: You can also use third-party applications to design components of a label to be imported
into CQL Pro. In this situation, save or export graphic files in a .BMP, .PCX, uncompressed
.JPG, uncompressed .TIF, .GIF, .PNG, or .PDF format.
•
Select a resolution of 400 or 800 pixels per inch
- For raster-based design applications
such as Adobe Photoshop, choose a resolution of 400 or 800 pixels per inch. This will
provide sufficient image resolution to produce superior print quality. This setting is not
used in vector-based design applications such as Adobe Illustrator.
•
If the application supports color management, enable it
- Professional design appli-
cations support color management. This option is typically found in the application’s print
window.
Printing Labels
1.
Ensure the label media has been loaded.
2.
If you are printing from a third-party design application, ensure the printer driver
preferences are configured.
3.
Open the label file using the appropriate software. Then choose to print the label, and
enter the number of copies you would like to print.
Note: If your software has a collate option, disable it before printing.
4.
Print the labels.
5.
Adjust the media exit guide as needed. The edge of the media should lightly contact the
edge of the media exit guide.
