Tools Menu
The Tools menu provides access to the tools that add fields to the cassette
layout. Each tool adds a different kind of field to the layout. When you select
a tool, it remains selected until it is deselected by selecting the Pointer tool.
Pointer - This tool is used to deselect the current tool.
Text - Used to add a "text field" to the layout.
Barcode - Used to add a "barcode" to the layout.
Graphic - Used to add a "graphic image" (bitmap) to the layout.
Line - Used to add a "line" to the layout.
Box - Used to add a "box" outline to the layout.
Ellipse - Used to add an "ellipse" (or circle) to the layout.
Once a tool is selected, you can add a field by clicking on a blank space in
the cassette layout where you wish the field to reside, When a "field is
added", its associated field editor will automatically appear, allowing you to
specify the details of the field.
Setup Menu
The Setup menu provides several features for configuring the composition
and appearance of the cassette layout.
Geometry - This menu item will open the "Geometry" form, which allows you
to configure the physical characteristics of the print area, including length
and width.
Units of Measure - This menu item will activate the Units form that allows
you to specify either English or Metric units of measure. When in English
units, the basic unit of measurement is the inch.While in Metric units, the
basic unit of measurement is millimeters.
Serial Numbers - This menu item will activate the "Serial Numbers" form,
which allows you to configure the auto incrementing feature of the layout.
Each layout can have two groups of two numeric serial number fields each.
Each field has the ability to increment up or down between a set range of
numbers. When the first number in each group reaches its limit, it rolls over
to the opposing limit and causes the second number in the group to incre-
ment (or decrement as needed). If you want to implement alphanumeric
sequencing, this must be done in the individual text field editor.
