Labels
In this area you can add (+) or delete (-) individual labels and define their positions. Position can be Absolute (Top-Left), Aligned to other label or Absolute (Center). If you choose absolute (top-left) position, you should enter distance of label from left and top edges of paper. Similarly, if you choose absolute (center) position, you should enter position of center of label. This is particularly useful when label size is set to From design. In that case, center of label will remain same regardless of size.
If you select aligned position, you will be able to select other label to align with. In this case, if you change position of one label, the other will be moved automatically.
Additionally, you can use a button to easily create a grid-like layout. Just define number of rows and columns, distances from paper edges and from each other, and software will automatically create a complete layout for you.
Before printing, use check boxes next to label names to turn off labels that you don't want to be printed this time.
Simple preview
Here you can see rough sample of printout. To see high quality preview click on Preview button.
LightScribe
By clicking on the LightScribe button, instead to the printer, your design will be sent to a LightScribe compatible device (if present on the system).
