How To: Create Stock Labels

Stock labels can be created which are automatically used without the user being prompted for which layout to use every time they print labels. Khaos Control is supplied with default stock labels called STOCK LABELS.

Notes:

1. If you wish to create a range of customer address labels so the user is prompted for which template to use whenever labels are printed then the STOCK LABELS must be renamed.
2. Stock labels cannot be printed on the Elton/Zebra LP 2844 printer as it needs specific commands (according to the product's brochure this means using the ZPL II Zebra Programming Language) in order for it to print text and graphics in specific positions, such as Khaos Control does when printing courier labels.
   
   

1. Open the Label Setup screen screen (show me how).
2. In [ Label Setup | List ] screen click on the Go button.
   Note: you will need to rename the STOCK LABELS so the user is able to select the type of label to print, see How To: Rename Existing Labels .
3. Press Ctrl+N or click .
4. In the [ Label Setup | Detail ] screen enter the description of the label in the Description field at the top. This will be seen by the user when selecting the label template to use.
5. Set the Label Type radio button to Stock (it is in the bottom right of the screen).
6. The following areas can be set up:
   • The margins (required).
     Note: all measurements for margin and Inc values are in MM (millimetres).
   • The font style and type of the Main Text Font if you wish to change from the default which is Arial size 10.
   • The layout of the sheet of labels including printing the labels in landscape (Required).
   • Add an image to the label (Optional).
   • Add a barcode to the label (Optional).
