Editing Document and Label Pages

Once you have saved your Label/Document changes, you can review and update your page settings.

Page settings will automatically be set to default settings which are the following:

Label Type	Default Dots Per Inch (DPI)	Default Page Size Type
Label	203	4X6 Portrait
Document	203	No Default, select desired Portrait or Landscape size.

You can view your page template in Grid view if you like, via Imperial or Metric measurements. You can also do your own width and height calculations for customized paper size if you need to.

Anything higher than 300 DPI is not recommended as it can cost more to print.

To make changes, change the value you want to change and then click save.

Note about Label DPI Zebra Printers: 203 DPI labels are the same labels that you use to print 300 DPI labels. The difference is that if the printer is configured to print 203 or 300 DPI. You need to print to a printer that is setup for 300 DPI printing for the 300 DPI label templates and a different printer for 203 DPI label templates. Otherwise, you will have to reconfigure your printer between printing each time. Document Label Designer has no problem printing any resolution size. If you are experiencing any issues, check your printer/template settings and configuration.
