Previewing and Fine-Tuning

  1. Save your label design with a descriptive name (e.g., "LCD Monitor 3x2").

  2. Preview the label by selecting it and clicking Preview.

  3. Adjust spacing, font sizes, and alignment as necessary:

    • Use the bottom controls to tighten spacing.

    • Overlapping fields (marked in red) may need resizing or reorganization.

Advanced Features

  • Add shapes like boxes or horizontal bars for better visual organization.

  • Incorporate dynamic logic to concatenate multiple fields.

  • Customize symbology for barcodes, such as switching to Code 128.

Saving and Finalizing

  1. Save your label design regularly to avoid losing work.

  2. Perform a final preview to ensure all elements are correctly aligned and functional.
