To create your labels paper size/type, complete the following steps.

Note:      If you are merging your labels, you will need to complete the following steps before beginning with step 1. From a blank screen, press Shift+F8 for Format, 3 for Document, 2for Document Initial Codes. Delete any codes that are below the reveal codes line in the Document Initial Codes screen.

1)      From a blank document screen (or Document Initial Codes if you are merging), press Shift+F8 (Format), 2 for Page, 7 for Paper Size.

2)      You should now be at the Format: Paper Size/Type screen. Now press 2 for Add (Create), 9 for Other.

3)      Give the label definition a unique name (i.e., Avery 4013) and press Enter.

      Note:      You will not want to name the paper size "Labels", as this is not a unique name.

4)      You should now be at the Format: Edit Paper Definition screen. Select 1 for Paper Sizeand then O for Other. Locate your labels on the chart below. For the Width, type the first number in the Paper Size &/or Description column (i.e., 3 1/2") and hit Enter. For the Height, type the second number in the Paper Size &/or Description column (i.e., 1") and hit Enter.

5)      Your screen should now say Format: Edit Paper Definition. At this point select 8 for Labels and then Y for Yes.

6)      You are now at the Format: Labels screen. Enter in the numbers for the Labels Size, Number of Labels, Top Left Corner, Distance Between Labels, and Label Margins by following the numbers in the Chart below for your specific labels. When this is completed, press F7 twice.

      Note:      The margins normally default to 0. If you would like to set margins for each label, you will need to select 5 for Label Margins and type in an amount for each one in.

7)      Your screen should now be Format: Paper Size/Type. The labels have now been created and you can choose 1 for Select. Press F7 to Exit to the document screen.



Note:      If you are creating a merge form, you will need to choose 1 for Select and then press F7 three times to return to the Document screen. This is where you will begin entering in your merge fields.
