Starting with a Design Before you create a format packet, you must design your label. There are several steps to designing a custom label: 1. Decide which fields should appear on your label. See "Determining Format Contents" for more information. 2. Determine your label size. Labels are available from Monarch in a wide variety of sizes. Your application and the amount of data you need to print determines the supply size. Contact your Account Manager or Technical Support for more information.

Determining Format Contents Before you lay out your format, you need to make a few decisions. For example: How large is your supply, which fonts do you want to use, do you want to include a bar code, and do you want to include graphics? Determining the Print Area The "bottom" is the edge that exits the printer first. The 0,0 point is at the bottom left corner of the label. For the 9403 printer, the print area begins 0.10 inches from the left edge of the supply. For the 9800 series printers,

When designing formats, keep in mind the following non-print zones for the 9403 printer: Bottom .035 inches at the beginning of the label. Left .10 inches from the left edge of the label. The following non-print zones are recommended for the 9800 series printers: All Supplies .050 inches on either edge of the label. All Supplies .020 inches at the end of the label. If using the optional verifier, allow a minimum no-scan zone at the top of the label of 1.3" (33 mm) for speeds 6.0 ips or less; 1.8
