Chapter 3 : Creating a Project
3.3. Labels
General introduction The Labels function allows you to add the following capabilities to your
123 Print projects
Associate pre-designed labels
Associate screen prompts with a label to collect user input, such as
an item product code, to be printed dynamically on the label
Collect input from printer peripherals, such as a barcode scanner or
weight scale, to be printed dynamically on a label
Add logic to manipulate the input data, such as extract the weight
from a weight scale input data stream, and merge it into the label
to be printed
This section describes how to associate an existing label to your project.
This can be a static label you simply want to print. It can also be a
static label you want to use as a template for creating dynamic labels.
This section also describes the functions available for creating a
dynamic label using screen prompts, peripheral inputs, and processing
logic. This combination of screens, variable data, and logic is referred to
as a label program.
The pre-designed labels that you associate with your 123 Print project
may be any DPL label or a label created using Seagull Scientific’s
BarTender. Please reference
Chapter 4 – Designing a Label for
information about creating BarTender labels for 123 Print.
