Before you create a format, you must design your label.
1.
Decide which fields should appear on your label. See "Determining
Format Data" for more information.
2.
Determine your label size. Labels are available from Paxar in a wide
variety of sizes. Your application and the amount of data you need to
print determines the supply size. Contact Paxar for more information.
3.
Draw a rough sketch of your label. You may want to draw several
variations to see what works best. See "Drawing Rough Sketches" for
more information.
4.
Identify the field types that appear on your label. See "Considering Field
Types" for more information.
5.
Decide which fonts you want to use. See "Using Fonts" for more
information.
