Font: Click on the button Select to open Windows dialog box for selecting font for the object.
Note: If the currently selected printer is a thermal printer, there will be some additional fonts avail-
able in the list. They are printer internal built-in fonts identified by printer icon in front of their
names.
Effects: Define the effects for the object.
l
Inverse: If selected, text is printed in reverse. This option is available mainly for truetype
fonts. Only a few thermal printers support this option with internal fonts.
l
Mirror: If selected, text is printed mirrored. Most thermal printers do not support this
option, so you will have to use truetype fonts to print mirror text.
l
Stacked text: If selected, the character will not be aligned in left-right order next to each
other, but in top-bottom order one on top of the next one. The text orientation is remains
the same, just the alignment within the element changes.
l
RTL printing: If selected, the internal printer text will be printed in right-to-left order. It
is useful if you operating system does not have native RTL support but you still need to
print text in this manner.
Note: For RTL printing option to work, you printer has to have an internal right-to-left printer font
built-in, for example: Hebrew or Arabic font. This option only works with internal printer fonts and
not Truetype fonts.
Font scaling: This is a factor that defines, how much the font is stretched from its original pro-
portions. If the factor is 100%, the font has a normal look. If factor is 200%, it means that font is
twice as wide as normal. If it is 50%, the font is stretched.
Alignment: Define how the text will be aligned within the object, when using multi-line text.
l
None: No alignment is used.
l
Left: Text is aligned to the left side of the object.
l
Center: Text is aligned to the center of the object.
l
Right: Text is aligned to the right side of the object.
Spacing: Define the custom spacing in the object.
l
Line: The distance between lines of text.
l
Character: The distance between characters in the line of text.
Color: Click on the Color button to change the color of the object.
Note: Text will be printed in color only on printers that support color printing. These are mostly ink-
jet and color laser printers, but also some thermal printers.
Appearance Tab
Position and Size: Enter the new values for position and size in the relevant fields. The origin of the
coordinate system on the label is upper left corner of the label. This dialog box should be used for
fine-tuning the placement and dimensions of the element. Another method of fine-tuning is using
Label Inspector functionality.
Keep aspect ratio: Locks the ratio of the element. When you change the height, width is auto-
matically adjusted so that the element is not distorted and vice-versa.
Rotation: It is possible to set the rotation of the objects in steps of 90 degrees anti-clockwise to fit
the appropriate position.
Anchoring point: Set the corner of object bounding box that is used for positioning the object on the
label. This is the corner where the element is pinned on the label. For example, if you select the
