Selective printing

Labels can be printed individually; the layout window displays whether or not the label prints.

• Colour code present, it prints.
• Not present, not printed.

Labels 1 and 3 selected to print

Using selective printing, you can make best use of the Avery® label paper.
No need to print an entire sheet of labels when you only need one - simply print and peel the printed label and the next time you need just one label, print it on the partially used sheet in another position. No more wasting expensive label paper!

• Column on the right sets the "destination" label (copy to).

Select a label to copy from and a label to copy to.

• Click "Copy Label" to copy or "Reset" to choose again.
