Geometry Form

Geometry Form

The Geometry form allows you to configure the physical geometry of the tag in your layout to match the actual tag you are printing.   There are several aspects to the tag's geometry that you can control and each of these is given a separate tab in this form.   These are Dimensions, Bend Indicator, Bare Edges, Holes, Slots

Dimensions
This tab allows you to specify the dimensions of the stock.

Width - This field specifies the width of the stock material. The width is shown vertically on the screen. Widths of three or four inches are allowed. The width is entered in inches or millimeters.

Length - This field specifies the length of the stock material that is to be printed. The length is shown horizontally on the screen. The length is measured in inches or millimeters.

Bend Indicator
This tab allows you to specify the location of a bend in the tag. Processing equipment after the tag has been printed will perform this bend.

Show Bend Line - This checkbox enables the display of the bend indicator in the LabeLase Layout editor. The bend line is shown as a dashed red line across the width of the tag.

X Offset Dimension - This field specifies the distance from the leading edge of the tag to the location where the bend will be made. Specify this distance in inches or millimeters.

Bare Edges
This tab allows you to specify the display of bare edges on the tag. Bare edges are used to facilitate welding the tag onto the product’s surface.

Show Bare Edges - This checkbox enables the display of the bare edges in the LabeLase Layout Editor.

Width of the Bare Edges - This field specifies the width, in inches or millimeters, of the bare edges.

Holes
This tab allows you to specify the presence and location of punched holes on the tag. Up to two holes may be shown.

Show Holes - This checkbox enables the display of the holes.

Diameter - This field specifies the diameter of the holes in inches or millimeters.

X1, Y1 - These fields specify the location of the first hole in the tag material.

X2, Y2 - These fields specify the location of the second hole in the tag material. If there is only one hole, leave these fields set to 0.0.

Slots
This tab allows you to specify the presence and location of punched slots in the tag. Up to two slots may be shown.

Show Slots - This checkbox enables the display of the slots.

Width - This field specifies the width of the slots in inches or millimeters.

Length - This field specifies the length of the slots in inches or millimeters.

X1, Y1 - These fields specify the location of the first slot in the tag material.

X2, Y2 - These fields specify the location of the second slot in the tag material. If there is only one slot, leave these fields set to zero.
