Printing labels

You can print labels directly from the program, or from external systems — including websites, web applications, and other software — using the API. For details, see the Automation & integration guide.

This section describes how to print labels directly from the program.

To print labels:

Select a label.

Choose the label you want to print from the open labels (displayed as tabs):

If the label is not open, click Open label or Open recent to open it:

You can also create a new label or duplicate the current one using New label or Create a copy:
Import data or enter it manually.

This step is required when using dynamic data, either from a data source (for example, Excel, CSV, or databases) or entered manually. If the required data is already present, this step can be skipped.

Add your data to the Label print data table:
1. To import data from an external source (such as an Excel file), click the 1 Import button. See Import settings to learn how to configure data import.
2. To enter data manually, click the 2 + button, to add a new row, then add the required columns and fill in your data.
Match data fields.

This step is required when the label uses dynamic data. If all label elements are already linked to the correct data fields or use static text, you can skip this step.

For a label element to display your data, the field name (or its alias) in the data source must match the field name used by the label element.

If the names do not match, the element cannot display the data and a warning sign is shown.

To fix this, replace the data field in the label element with the correct field from your source.

For example, drag and drop a field onto a label element or an empty area to create a new element:
Select rows and set print quantities.

This step is used when printing labels based on the Label print data table. It can also be used for labels with static content, where the table controls which labels are printed and in what quantity.

Select the rows you want to print 1, then set the number of labels for each row in the Print quantity column 2.

You can also edit the data before printing (for example, update prices).
Preview or print labels.

Click 1 Preview to view the labels before printing (you can also adjust print settings there, overriding the label’s settings), or click 2 Print to print them immediately.

To save labels as a PDF, Excel file, or image (such as PNG, JPEG, or BMP), select the corresponding built-in printer in the preview window (Save as PDF, Save as Excel, or Save as images), then click Print.

You can save the label print data using the Save button.

When you start the program, all previously opened labels and their label print data are loaded. If you close and later reopen a label, its saved data is also loaded.

Print on [Enter]

Enable Print on [Enter] to print labels immediately after editing a value and pressing [Enter].
For example, type a new price in a cell and press [Enter] — the program prints labels with the updated value.
