Label setup

Before printing labels, you should make sure that you have set up a definition for the type of labels you wish to print. To do this, go to the 'File' menu, select 'Page setup', 'Labels', and either the 'Pressure Sensitive' or 'Cheshire' menu item. Then click on the "Label Setup" button so that the "Label Options" screen is displayed. The cursor will be on the label type that is currently being used and information for that label type will be displayed on the right side under the heading "Label Information."

Default label setups

QuickFill has default settings for the 15 Avery® label types listed below as well as one setting for standard Cheshire labels.

QuickFill stores the information that you enter on the label setup screen in the QFW_LABELS.DAT file in your QuickFill program directory (\QFW). To restore a copy of QuickFill's default label types, click on the "Restore defaults" button on the "Label Options" screen.

From the "Label Options" screen, you can define a new label type, or, edit or delete a previously defined label type. When you click on "New" or "Edit," the "Label Details" screen will be displayed. This screen includes the following fields:

Top Margin

Enter the number of inches from the top of the page to the beginning of the first row of labels.

Bottom Margin

Enter the number of inches for the margin at the bottom of the page.

Vertical Pitch

Enter the number of inches from the top of the first row of labels to the top of the second row of labels.

Side Margin

Enter the number of inches from the edge of the page to the first column of labels.

Horizontal Pitch

Enter the number of inches from the beginning of the first column of labels to the beginning of the second column of labels.

Width

Enter the width, in inches, of each label.

Height

Enter the height, in inches, of each label.

Lines per inch

Enter a number between 1 and 20 to specify the number of lines per inch you wish to print. This field is a required field.

The default for this field is eight.

Labels are seven lines deep regardless of the number of lines per inch specified in this field. QuickFill always saves room to put information (such as key code, order number, expiration date, etc.) on the top line of the label. That means you have six lines remaining. If you don't have enough room on the label for all the address information, QuickFill drops the customer's title first, and then the department.

For example, when entering a customer's address, the customer address form contains room for the following label information:

Prefix, first name, last name, suffix
Title
Company
Department
Street line 1
Street line 2
City, state, zip/postal code
Country

If you enter a domestic address with all of these fields filled in, your mailing label would include:

Line 1

Key code, customer number, order number, and/or other data

Line 2

Prefix, first name, last name, suffix

Line 3

Company

Line 4

Department

Line 5

Street line 1

Line 6

Street line 2

Line 7

City, state, zip/postal code

If you enter a foreign address with all of these fields filled in, your mailing label would include:

Line 1

Key code, customer number, order number, and/or other data

Line 2

Prefix, first name, last name, suffix

Line 3

Company

Line 4

Street line 1

Line 5

Street line 2

Line 6

City, state, zip/postal code

Line 7

Country

Number Across

Enter a number between 1 and 10 to specify the number of labels to be printed across the page (a.k.a. the number of labels per row). This field is a required field.

Description

Enter a description for the label type you are defining. For example if you are setting up a definition for issue labels and you always print your issue labels on Avery #5160 labels, you might use a description of "Avery 5160 - for issue labels." This field is a required field.
