Creating and Editing Boxes

To create a new box, complete the following steps:

1. From the Label Designer tab, click Box.
2. To edit a box, from the Label Designer tab, click Box, then Edit Box at the top of the edit panel.

   

3. Change the value you want to change and then click Save.

To move a box, click on it and then drag the box to where you want it to be positioned. The box will automatically save its position when you are done dragging.

You can also enter X and Y coordinates to move a box. X and Y starting points are at the top left corner of the page. Width and height adjustments begin at the far right corner. You can adjust your box size by dragging and pulling or entering the number you want for positioning it. After dragging, click outside of the box to set changes and after entering values, tab to move to the next field.

If you want to make any color specifications, add a 1 in the corresponding field to indicate Red, Green, or Blue. To save your changes, click Save.

Note: Zebra printers only support black and white, so you only need to specify 1 in the Color_A: (Alpha) field.
