Create a Sheet Layout Design

 

The Sheet Layout Manager allows the user to design how they want the labels to be output on a sheet or bitmap.

 

To create a Sheet Layout, open the Sheet Layout Manager from the RCIM Labeling Interface:

 

RCIMLabel_SheetLayoutManager

 

Note: If creating labels for a sheet template, the size of the label must match exactly to the label size determined by the Sheet Layout.

 

The designer has two main controls: The Layout Template selection and the template preview.

 

The template selection window allows the user to see existing templates and to edit them.

 New Button- launches the create template window

 Copy Button – allows you to copy an existing configuration

 Delete button – allows you to delete an existing configuration

 

The template preview shows what the template looks like when the user selects it.

Create a New Sheet Layout

To create a new sheet layout, select the 'New' button.

 

RCIMLabel_SLM_New

 

Name: Name of the template

Orientation: The orientation of the template

Panels: The number of labels in horizontally and vertically on the sheet.

Page Size: This is the size of the sheet in inches

Page Margin: this is the distance horizontal and vertical from the edge of the sheet the labels will start

Panel Size: This is the size of the panel in inches. It should match what the user designs as a label template

Panel Margin: This is the distance from one panel to another

 

Note: Each field needs to be completed in order to make sure that when the labels are printed, that they match to the sheet labels that you intend to use.

 

Once you have completed setting up the sheet layout, your Sheet Layout name will automatically show up in the drop-down window by 'Select Sheet Layout' at the top of the Sheet Layout Manager.

 

Your Sheet Layout is now ready to be used in a Router-CIM Label Configuration.
