Y Flip (for USA)

Print Borders
This tick box enables/disables the printing of label borders. If you are trying to setup Label Wizard to a new type of label size then it helps alot if you enable the border printing.

Print logo graphic over the whole label
This does exactly as it says and enable you to create labels out of a single .BMP graphic file. So if you wanted to create full color labels for your jars of honey then you just need to design a label in your favourite paint package (make it full screen or bigger for good resolution) and then save the label as a .BMP file to some folder on your computer. Now load that .BMP into Label Wizard as a logo graphic and tick the "Print logo graphic over the whole label" box. Now your entire label sheet will be populated with your new product labels. The beauty of this system is that if you want to change the size of your product labels then you don't need to redraw them, you just need to change the label size in the setup screen.

Label sheet size setup controls
To adjust a control simply left click and hold the small button [»], this will allow you to slide an adjuster up or down for the control. These controls allow you to adjust the size in mm of your label sheet. Notice the three small buttons on the left labeled "a4", "let" and "leg", these give you quick size presets for A4, US Letter ans US Legal paper sizes. You can of course enter any sizes you wish using the numeric inputs.

Label Configuration Controls
To adjust a control simply left click and hold the small button [»], this will allow you to slide an adjuster up or down for the control. These controls allow you to adjust various setup parameters allowing you to configure LabelWizard to work with just about any label size that's available on an A4 sheet. The row number indicates how many labels you get along the length of a sheet. The column number indicates how many labels you get along the width of a sheet. For more info on setting up, see the setting up tips below.

Character Map

Pressing this button will bring up a character map window as shown on the right. This allows you to select special characters for inclusion in your various text boxes. Here are some examples of special characters included: « © ® ° »

Save and Load setup buttons
These buttons allow you to save the current setup or load a previously saved setup. Data is saved to a .LWP file of the users choice.

For example say you wanted a special setup file for printing christmas card address labels. You would follow these steps:

1. Setup Label Wizard for the christmas card label, use a christmas tree graphic BMP, maybe a fancy colored font etc.
2. When you're happy with the setup, press the "Save this setup" button and save it as "Xmas.lwp" or something similar.
3. Now whenever you need to print xmas labels, just press the "Load a setup" button and select "Xmas.lwp".

TOP TIP : You can also doubleclick a .LWP file from anywhere in windows and Label Wizard will start up and configure to it. This means you can quickly and easily build up a library of .LWP files for different tasks and save them all to your desktop etc. for quick access to all your different label tasks.

Check For Newer Application Version
This does exactly what it says, it checks online to make sure you have the latest and greatest version.
If you don't have the latest version then a button appears allowing you to download the latest version straight off our website.

OK & Cancel buttons
Pressing cancel will cause any adjustments that you make to be lost, Lable Wizard will go back to using the settings it was using before you entered the setup screen.

Pressing OK will cause all the adjusted controls to take immediate effect upon Label Wizards setup, your adjustments will become visible in the main screen of Label Wizard.

Setting Up Tips

If you have an old backing, (the waxy sheet that the labels come on) then you can print onto it and then wipe it off later with a damp cloth, you can use this to keep feeding through your printer whilst you adjust the various settings. This will save you from wasting sheets whilst setting up.

To adjust a control simply left click and hold the small button [»], this will allow you to slide an adjuster up or down for the control.

Setup steps:

1. Set the size of the whole label sheet by using the "Width (mm)" and "Height (mm)" controls, if your label sheets are a known standard size then press one of the preset buttons like "A4" instead.

2. Set the correct number of rows and columns for your Label Sheet:
   The row number "Label Rows" indicates how many labels you get down the length of the page, from top to bottom.
   The column number "Label Cols" indicates how many labels you get across the width of a sheet, from left to right.

3. Now set the gaps between the labels in mm:
   "Col Spacing (mm)" refers to the horizontal width of the gaps between the label columns on the sheet.
   "Row Spacing (mm)" refers to the vertical height of the gaps between the label rows on the sheet.

4. Now set the 4 different margin sizes. Although your label sheets may appear to have top and bottom margins of the same size, you may have to set the bottom margin to be considerably less than it actually is. This is to compensate for the unprintable region usually found at the bottom of the sheet with most inkjet printers.

5. Now Print out a whole sheet of labels with the borders enabled onto a label sheet. Depending on the printed output you may need to make some adjustments:
   
   If the labels are lined up at the top, but gradually get more misaligned as they go down the sheet then you need to reduce or increase the bottom margin size.

   Basically you need to adjust the margin sizes until you manage to 'stretch' the labels so that they print perfectly onto the label sheet.
   
   Once you've performed the setup procedure once you don't need to bother again, Label Wizard remembers all of its settings between uses.
