5. Brief instruction on how to use the labeling software
5.1 Choosing the labeling or engraving device
From the menu bar, select > File > New project. The window to select the labeling or
engraving device opens. When you have chosen and
confirmed the relevant output device, the program
provides you with a list of all labeling element
manufacturers for the output device used.
You can pre-select the output device to be used by
clicking with the right mouse button on the device name
and select as standard. Opening a new project by
clicking on the Icon New Project selects always the
standard device.
When you have chosen the plotter or engraver and the
respective device is switched on and connected to your
PC via the USB cable, you can preselect the labeling
elements.
In this instance, the message appears:
> Do you want to use the element recognition function of the plotter or
engraver? <.
If you confirm by answering Yes, the software imports the identification of the
support plates placed from the plotter and only provides you with the manufacturers of
the labeling elements that can be printed
or engraved on the support plates used.
Note: Only for full size plotter / engraving
option
5.2 Select the labeling element
Click on the relevant manufacturer to select the labeling element required. It is then
displayed on screen.
If you have switched on element recognition for
the plotter or engraver, the individual segments
will be displayed on screen. Double-click on the
segment required. This displays only the
manufacturers of labeling elements that can be
used with the support plate fitted.
