Introduction

The Print Label program helps you print simple labels on your printer (dot matrix recommended).  The program completely bypasses windows and prints directly to the hardware.  You can specify how many labels you want, an incremental counter (for a serial/asset number), the number of lines between labels, number of lines per label, etc.  The label always prints in the printers current font and size.

You are prompted for the contents of the label and other information about the output format.  You may also indicate how many labels you want to print and the starting number for a sequential counter.

Anywhere you want to print the current counter number simply include the two characters ^C (caret and capital C).  This string will be replaced by the current counter number (which is incremented between each label).

Saving and Restoring a Label

Saving a Label Format

Print Label allows you to save the current label format and all the additional parameters (label size, sequential counter, etc.) for later use.

Select Save or Save As from the File menu.  You are prompted for the file name you want to save the current label format to.  The file should have the extension ".LAB" to make it easier to find later.

Restoring a Label Format

Print Label allows you to open a previously saved label format and all the additional parameters (label size, sequential counter, etc.)..

Select Open from the File menu.  You are prompted for the file name you want to open.  By default all files with the ".LAB" extension are displayed for you to select.

Opening an existing label overwrites the current label format.  Please remember to save the current label if necessary.

Allow the label to be wider than the imput field.  Use the scroll bars to see more of the label.

Changed the display font to a non-proportional font for easier alignment of label contents.

The software product and user's manual are copyrighted and all rights are reserved by Pride Software Works! and Charles L. Cranford IV.

Evaluation users are granted a limited license to use Print Label for no more than 15 days for the purpose of determining whether Print Label is suitable for their needs. The use of Print Label for more than 15 days  requires licensing and the payment of a license fee. The use of the product for more than 15 days by any person, business, corporation, government agency, or any other entity without licensing it from Pride Software Works! is strictly prohibited.

A license permits a user to use Print Label on any single computer, or, in a LAN environment, on one workstation.  The software may not be installed on more than one workstation or single user computer without additional licenses.

No one may modify or patch the Print Label files in any way, including but not limited to decompiling, disassembling, or otherwise reverse engineering the program.

A limited license is granted to copy and distribute Print Label for the trial use of others, subject to the above limitations, and to those below:

(1) Print Label must be copied in unmodified form, complete with the file containing this license information and all documentation.

(2) Print Label may not be distributed in licensed form to any person.  It MUST be distributed as an unlicensed copy.

(3) No fee, charge, or other compensation may be requested or accepted for distributing Print Label, except as follows:

(a) operators of electronic bulletin board systems may make Print Label available for downloading. A time-dependent charge for the use of the bulletin board is permitted so long as there is no specific charge for the download of any Print Label files.

(b) vendors of Shareware may distribute Print Label, subject to the above conditions, and may charge a disk duplication and handling fee, not to exceed ten dollars.

CompuServe
Registering via CompuServe

If you are a member of CompuServe, you can register this Pride Software Works! application electronically.  This is much faster than the mail and is the perfered method for registering users outside the US.  When you use the CompuServe Software Registration system your CompuServe account will be charged for the registration fee (see opening message box) plus a 15% processing charge (to cover the cost of CompuServe charging your account and mailing payment to us).  You must be a member of CompuServe to use this registration option.

Log into CompuServe using your assigned account number and password.

Select menu Option "Search By Registration ID"

Enter registration ID 1819 when prompted.

A description of the application displays.  Notice that the registration fee is 15% higher than that displayed in the product.  This slight increase in registration fee covers the cost of CompuServe charging your account and mailing payment to us.

Your CompuServe account is charged the registration fee indicated (in US dollars).

You will be sent the required activation information via CompuServe eMail shortly.
