Selecting Labels

When you select an XTL label maker to use, the type of labels that are currently inserted in that label maker automatically become the selected label type.

Several icons give a visual clue as to the type of label currently selected:

Continuous labels

Pre-sized labels, including XTL pre-sized and LabelWriter Durable Labels

Laminated wire/cable wrap (cartridge)

Laminated wire/cable wrap (sheet) (applies to office printers only.)

Heat-shrink tube

Certain label applications can only be printed on specific label types. If you attempt to open a label application and that label type cannot be printed on the currently selected labels, you will be asked if you want to switch the label selection to one that is appropriate.

Only those label types that are compatible with the currently selected label printer and label application will be displayed in the label selection dialog box.

• Remember to insert the matching label type into the label printer before attempting to print.

If you want to design a label for a label cartridge that is different from the label cartridge currently in the selected label maker, you can choose a different label cartridge.
