Address, Postcode and Bank solutions
LABEL TAB
Using the Label TabThe Label Tab (shortcut [Alt]+4) is used to display the selected address record in the form of an address label - ready to print with a barcode if you wish.
Please note: As Postcode does not
include property or Delivery Point Suffix (DPS) level data, the barcode
contains the postcode only with a default DPS of '9Z'.
Any organisation or property information added to the Results Tab will automatically
be added to your label and you may even customise or add details to the label
itself before printing. The box above the label address is used for adding
an addressee name. You can
drag the address and/or barcode to other Windows programs from this Tab.
Examples of label layouts are provided - use the drop-down combo box to choose a suitable format. You may adjust these, then use the Save button to store your changes - or add your own.
To create a new label layout, simply type a new name in the combo box, and then click the Save button. Tuning the label print to your own printer and labels or envelopes may require a bit of trial-and-error and you may need to adjust the Bar Weight to suit your own printer. Typically, a 600 DPI Laser printer will require a Bar Weight of 9, whilst the Smart Label printer requires a bar weight of 3.
Please note: The Label Tab is designed for printing individual labels or envelopes - it is not designed for multiple label printing for large selections of addresses. If you have a need for multiple label printing across many addresses, choose AFD Listmaker or AFD Names & Numbers.
The Label Tab is also used to provide
a quick way of dragging addresses and barcodes to other Windows programs
- like Microsoft Word.
To drag a barcode or address, simply hold down a [Shift] key, then click
and hold down the LEFT mouse button on either the barcode or the address
box of the Label Tab. A 'dragging' mouse cursor will appear. Keep the mouse
button down whilst dragging onto the target program (like Word), then release
the mouse button to drop a copy of the barcode or address into that program.
Please note: The barcode is a graphical
image and you should ensure that your target program is able to receive and
use graphical data, before dragging it there. The Royal Mail barcode is subject
to a fairly strict specification of size and layout, but has been tested
with Microsoft Word and a suitable printer. You should ensure that
your target program and printer is set up to print the barcode to this specification.
