    • 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. 

    • Consider saving the file on the desktop of the workstation at

      Code Block
      C:\Users\Default\Desktop

      so that the file can be seen by all users that log into the computer.
