You can choose the step size for each click of the cursor at the top right of the
window. When you have moved to the position for the corner, you can use the
Pen Up/Down button to check that you have reached the exact position. The relevant
coordinates are displayed in mm, from the starting position of zero. Now specify the
exact position of the lower right corner for the first tag.
Do this following the same procedure as detailed above for locating the upper left
corner.
Now specify the upper left corner of the last tag in this matrix.
Go to the last tag bottom right and proceed just as before.
Specifying these three points completes all measurements for this marking element.
You can now save the values you have calculated by clicking on the Apply button.
The < Take measurements > window is closed and the program takes you back to
the previous page.
If you also click on the Apply button here, you will see the marking element that has
been set up. You can now check that all data have been correctly calculated. If any
error messages or notices are displayed, you should check your data again or allow
automatic correction.
Having completed the marking element, you now also have the option of positioning
text fields and graphic elements on the tags. Creating text fields like this is always
useful if you want to divide the tag up into different fields, so that you can later use
different text sizes, font types or symbols on the tag. See Section 10 of this manual for
information on how to set up a layout.
After you have specified the design and, if you wish, also the layout, click on Back to
close the Designer or Layouter.
The program takes you back to the main window, which you can then close by clicking
on the Close button.
You can select the labeling element you have created in the folder
>User defined under > Manufacturer and call it up for lettering.
