PLEASE PRINT USING PORTRAIT MODE NOT LANDSCAPE
Unit of measure is inches and the measurements are 2.00 inches wide and 1.5 inches height
Once done with this, it will look kind of like you’re making a single slide presentation.
Add a barcode and fix it so it fits on the barcode the way you want it to
Then edit the barcode info double click the barcode or R-click and select properties
This will pop up an extra tiny box with whatever the current barcode says (probably 12345678901) then click ‘apply’
Type in the information you want it to say and then print your barcodeunder the ‘source’ tab
Make sure in the barcode settings across the top blue ribbon stuff that it’s marked to be “human readable” above or below the barcode so the numbers print.
When you print, make sure it’s printing to the ZDesigner Printer and make sure it’s printing the number of barcodes you want
PLEASE DO NOT MESS WITH THE SPEED AND DARKNESS OF THE LABELS
There is a format label saved in files if you would like that for reference and just to continually edit instead of having to reformat a label each time.
