AUTO FORMAT FUNCTION

The Auto format function makes creating labels quick and easy. After simply selecting one of
the various pre-formatted layouts and typing text into each of its fields, the overall style of the
label can easily be changed by selecting one of the seven available style formats, and then the
label is ready to be printed. The many layouts available allow you to create labels for a variety
of needs—from addressing envelopes to identifying floppy disks or audio and video cassettes.
