Adding an Image Object

You can use Image objects to add an image to any label type. Once you have added an Image object to your label, you can choose to add your default logo, insert an image from the clipboard or a file on your computer, or capture and insert a still image from a video camera or video-capture board that supports Video for Windows (such as QuickCam).

You can use the following types of image files:

BMP

GIF

PNG

JPG

TIF

 

For best results, when you import an image, make sure the image you are importing is close to the size of the image that will appear on the label. For example, if you want to print your company logo on a shipping label, you should not import a logo image that is 5 x 7 inches. Also, take care when using a color image. When the image is converted to black and white during printing, unexpected results may occur. Use black and white or grayscale images whenever possible.

To add an Image object

  1. Select the Insert tab.
  2. Double-click Image.

  3. Select the source of the image you want to insert in the Image object.
  4. Select the properties that you want to apply to the image and click OK.

    The selected image is added to the label inside of the Image object.
