4 Working with Objects Overview What is an Object? An object can be any text, graphic or barcode element on a label. Objects can be edited, moved, aligned, deleted, rotated, framed and/or sized. Some object characteristics can also be added or changed (e.g., bold, justification, underlining, density, color). Object Types Object types include Text, Graphics, Barcodes, Serialization, and Date/Time.
Overview Object Sizing Undo Undo allows you to restore the last editing operation(s) that have taken place. For example, if a segment of text has been deleted or changed, performing an undo will restore the original text. The number of undo actions are limited and are based on the complexity of the label and the specific objects on the label.Typically, the fewer objects on the label, the more undo actions can be done. If you take an action that you cannot undo, the Undo option will no longer be available.
Adding Objects Text Objects Adding Objects The easiest way to add an object is to touch a blank area of the Editor. If you are currently editing an object, touch the screen twice, once to deselect the current object and once to insert a new object. You can also add objects using any of the methods (text, graphics, barcodes, serial and date/time) shown on the following pages. Text Objects To add a text object: 1.

In the Barcode Content dialog box: a. Select a barcode Symbology. b. Type a Data Value. Note: You can set a different symbology as the default by using System Setup (see “Set Barcode Defaults” on page 2-17).
Adding Objects Serial Objects Serial Objects Serialization lets you create labels that contain number or letter sequences that print as multiple labels at print time. Note: This procedure applies only when not using a template. If using a template, see “Converting Text or Barcode to Variable Data” on page 4-34. To add a serial object: 1. Use one of the following methods to add a barcode object: • Touch anywhere in the Editor. - or - • If you are already in a label, select Add Object 2.

A Glossary of Terms The following are the definitions of terms that are used in this manual. • Alignment/Justification: Refers to how text lines are aligned in the text object. Alignment can refer to both horizontal and vertical alignment. Justification is only used in the context of horizontal alignment. • Autosize: When setting label length, to automatically set the label length to fit the data included on the label. Applicable for continuous media only.
A-2 • Barcode Ratio: The thickness ratio between a narrow bar and a wide bar. Usually, the ratio is between 2:1 and 3:1. • Barcode Density: The number of characters that can be captured in a particular space, usually a linear inch. The "X" dimension determines a bar code's density. High-density bar codes have low numbers (e.g., 5 mil) and lowdensity bar codes have high numbers (e.g., 55 mil).
• Keystrokes: A combination of keys that when typed together result in a special or accented character. Keystroke types are: • Alt Gr (Alternative Graphic): A modifier key used to access alternate characters, represented on keys with a third or fourth symbol on the right side. Key accessed also depends on the state of the “Caps Lock” key and the type of toggle it performs. • Alt Gr Lock: A key that toggles the keyboard between access to Alt Gr and non-Alt Gr mode for specific keys.
• Reverse Print: Attribute applied to an object where the foreground and background colors are switched. • Rotate: Turning the label data some number of degrees on the label (the printer supports 90, 180, 270 degree rotation only). • Screen: A unit of software content to show on the display (could also be called a page or a window). Not the physical display itself. • Sequence/Serialization/Serial: Generating a series of alpha or numeric characters for subsequent labels. Also called variable data.
B Character Mapping & Keyboard Layouts Keyboard configurations vary by region. See “Character Mapping” on page B-1 for a list of accent characters available for each keyboard configuration. See “Keyboard Layouts” on page B-9 for a graphical layout of the keyboard configurations. When used in combination with the and keys, the keyboards support multiple characters.
