In most cases, it is best to test-print a label after creating it. This allows you to check its accuracy and general appearance.
Note: The following test-print procedures assume that you have completely installed the program and chosen a target printer. You print the sample label on the target printer. See the previous chapter for information on how to configure printers.
Test-Print a Label
1. Verify that the target printer is ON.
2. Select the File | Test Print menu command or click the Test Print icon from the standard toolbar. Alternatively, press F9 or Ctrl+P on the keyboard.
3. View the Test Print dialog box that includes information regarding other methods of printing with Loftware Label Manager.
Notice that your target device is identified in the Device box.
4. Select OK.
Your printer should produce your printed sample label exactly the way you designed it.
If you wish to view the On-Demand Print Form for the label you just created, do not close the file or exit Loftware Label Manager. Proceed directly to the On-demand Print section.
Note: Fields with check digit, formula fields, and database fields are not evaluated during a Test Print. Use "On-Demand Print" to get a true label with all data sources filled in.
