Label

 

formatting

 

can

 

be

 

performed

 

using

 

either

 

Template

 

or

 

Ad

Hoc

 

formatting

 

methods

 

for

 

each

 

individual

 

label.

  

Templates

 

can

 

be

 

used

 

to

 

utilize

 

the

 

same

 

formatting

 

code

 

to

 

produce

 

the

 

same

 

label

 

for

 

multiple

 

products.

  

The

 

Template

 

method

 

utilizes

 

Dynamic

 

Text

 

to

 

change

 

only

 

applicable

 

information

 

from

 

one

 

product

 

to

 

another.

  

Templates

 

provide

 

a

 

less

 

time

 

consuming

 

method

 

for

 

making

 

modifications

 

since

 

changes

 

only

 

have

 

to

 

be

 

made

 

to

 

one

 

template

 

instead

 

of

 

multiple

 

labels.

  

Ad

Hoc

 

allows

 

for

 

unlimited

 

customization

 

for

 

each

 

label;

 

however,

 

if

 

labels

 

use

 

similar

 

formatting,

 

modifications

 

will

 

require

 

changes

 

to

 

each

 

individual

 

label.

   

The

 

formatting

 

code

 

syntax

 

will

 

depend

 

on

 

what

 

type

 

of

 

Industrial

 

Printer

 

is

 

being

 

used

 

(I.E.
