Message Creation with Precision Series
How to Create a New Label/Message using the Controller on the Precision Series High Resolution Piezo Case Coder
I am going to create a brand new “label” from scratch
[Tap on “Create Label”]
First thing I am going to do is zoom out to see the entire work area
[Tap the minus magnifying glass]
Add a text field.
[Tap on the “ABC” button in the upper left]
[Tap on the blue box next to the word “Text” to edit/add text” and type your text using the touch screen keyboard – then tap the “OK” button and then the “OK” button again on the next screen]
Move it around and make it larger or you can make it smaller
[tap on your text and drag it to where you want – increase or decrease the size by tapping on the large “A” or small “a” buttons.]
If I want to fine tune my position, I can use my arrow keys down here.
To add a barcode beneath that
[tap on the barcode button at the top of the screen]. First thing I want to do is change my barcode type. We have about 14 standard barcodes here [you can scroll by tapping and dragging your finger on the screen or using the arrow buttons to the right]
[Tap on the barcode type of choice]
[Tap on the “Value” button and type in the necessary text and/or numbers]
I’m going to enable as “Human Readable”
[Tap on the ‘enabled’ button]
Change my barcode width
[Tap on the number and change it to the desired width and tap ok]
Barcode height
[tap on the number and change it to the desired height and tap ok]
[tap ok and you will see your barcode in your working space along with your text you entered]
[tap and drag your barcode to your desired location]
Now I want my human reader to be a little bit larger so I am going to use my “a’s” up here
[Tap on the larger “a” button to increase font size of the numbers/text value you typed in with your barcode]
If I’m not happy with that width, I can click [tap] on my object [barcode] and hit edit
[tap the button with the pencil and dots]
Change barcode width to 6
[then tap ok]
You can see now it’s wider.
Add a graphic
[Tap the graphic button, a landscape/picture icon]
– give it a second to load. There’s our graphic.
[Tap on the graphic you want to use then tap OK]
Now I am going to make it smaller. Same thing that we did with the text
[Tap on the graphic so it is selected and use the small “a” button to decrease the size of the graphic. Tap and drag it for placement]
And if I want to fine tune it, I can over here
[Tap on the arrow keys to fine tune placement]
Okay, now we’re going to save it. We’re going to give it a name.
[Tap on the save/disk button and type in a file name and tap ok]
Exit out
[tap on the “X” button]
Now we’re going to select label
[tap on the Select Label button]
Look for the label that we just created (using the file name you just save it as)
[tap on that file name and tap the green “Select” button]
There it is.
