Example: Printing barcodes portrait orientation onto a 5168 label sheet (2 columns, 2 rows) |
Step 1: Click the 'Printer Setup' button and set the paper size to: Width: 21.59 cm, Height: 27.94 cm --- This is standard letterhead size. If you are using A4 or other paper, please set it to its actual size. |
Step 2: Set the barcode size to: Width: 11.1 cm, Height: 7.69 cm (the aspect ratio is the opposite of landscape printing). It is slightly smaller than the label paper size to allow for some margins around the labels. The barcode size is determined by these parameters: paper size; number of labels per page (number of rows and columns); top, bottom, left, and right margins; line spacing; column spacing. You can also click the 'Calc Size' button to automatically calculate the optimal barcode size for the label paper (the automatically calculated result may not be the most suitable size, and you may need to make adjustments based on your actual situation). |
Step 3: Set the page layout for printing the labels: In this matrix label sheet, we set each page to 2 columns and 2 rows. |
Step 4: Set the label margins, leaving some white space around the label edges. If the printed barcodes and labels are not aligned as intended, there could be several reasons, such as incorrect paper placement or printer inconsistencies. You can adjust the page margins in the program to align each label correctly. |
Tip: Setting both 'Page Left Margin' and 'Label Left Margin' will shift the barcodes to the right on the page. However, 'Page Left Margin' only affects the leftmost column of barcodes, while 'Label Left Margin' affects all barcodes. The same applies to 'Top Margin.' |

Set the paper size details. You can use either the predefined paper sizes in Windows or a custom paper size. |
|
Set the page and label margin details. These instructions are available at any time by clicking the Help button on the program window. |

In this example, we will use data imported from Excel to batch print labels. There are two ways to import data: 'Load data from Excel' and 'Copy data from Excel.' Importing a large Excel file may take a long time. During this time, the program's printing function will be disabled until all data is imported. After importing Excel data, you can also perform multiple filtering and sorting operations. Please refer to other articles for details. |

This program predefines a series of commonly used templates, including common label sheets such as 5160 and 5161. For label sheets without predefined templates, you can use the 'Setup Wizard' program to help set the parameters. |
You can also customize your own template. Click the 'Save' button in the upper right corner of the program, or the 'Template' menu, to save the program's current settings as a template file for direct use next time without having to manually set the parameters again. The standard and professional versions of the program use different template file formats, which are not interchangeable. |
The following image shows how to select a predefined template. |
|
The program can automatically calculate the barcode size best suited for the label sheet. |
The above are screenshots of the standard version of the barcode program. The operation steps for the professional version are similar, as shown in the screenshot below. |
|
The 'Label Width / Height' in Step 4 is automatically calculated based on the following parameters and does not require manual adjustment: |
Paper size; number of labels per page (rows and columns); top and bottom margins and left and right margins of the paper; line spacing and column spacing. |
