About Page Layouts in Loftware Label Manager
A page layout refers to a single sheet of labels or the number of labels produced before the label stock is
ejected or advanced.
A page layout describes both the dimensions of your label stock and the number of labels printed on one
page.
Labels that are ejected are typical of Windows printers such as the LaserJet, and labels that are advanced
to the next page or group of labels are typical of thermal transfer or Windows printers such as
continuous laser or dot matrix.
In the Loftware Label Manager design module, you attach or reference this layout description to your
label format by using the File | Media Setup menu.
The Page Layout description defines:
l Label and page dimensions
l Gap and margin sizes
l Information on how many labels can fit across or down the page of your label stock
Loftware Label Manager provides a comprehensive set of tools for convenient management of your page
layouts.For example, you can easily add new layouts, change existing ones or delete layouts that are no
longer relevant.
Using Page Layouts
You use page layouts to lay out multiple labels (multi-up labels) when you wish to print:
l Two or more labels on a single sheet of label stock on a Windows printer, such as a LaserJet,
DeskJet, bubblejet, dot matrix printer or any other Windows printer listed in the Control Panel.
l Multi-across labels on a roll of thermal or thermal transfer label stock.
Layouts are particularly useful if each label contains a serialized field or a field that contains unique
database information. In these cases, you are able to use the full power of the Loftware Label Manager to
obtain information from several, dissimilar sources of data, including:
l Local and remote databases
l Date/time fields
l Formulas
l Data files
l Incrementing/decrementing fields, including serial number files
