
Drag the mouse (move while holding down the left button of the mouse) diagonally
downward on the work area* in METAZAStudio.
The drawing area for a 2D symbol is created and the [Code Input] dialog box appears.
* Work area = black area on the screen

Enter a code and click [OK].
Enter a code for the 2D symbol.

Click [Object] > [Move to Center].
The center of the 2D symbol moves to the center of
the work area.
This work is important, being related to the
actual printing position.
In the machine, the center in printing operation is
dened as the reference point in printing opera-
tion. The "center of the work area" in METAZAStu-
dio coincides with the reference point in printing
operation. Consequently, making the "center of the
2D symbol" coincide with the "center of the work
area" means making the "center of the 2D symbol"
coincide with the "reference point in actual print-
ing operation."
Though you can print without making the "center of
the 2D symbol" coincide with the "reference point
in printing operation," making these points coincide
with each other ensures the ease of placing printed
text and image at the desired location.
