Autolabel
ÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿ
Autolabel is a utility for use with Papyrus by R.O.M. Logicware.

Autolabel automatically sets Papyrus to print self-adhesive labels or 
similar items such as business cards.

The program is supplied with a database of Avery labels designed for 
Laser and Inkjet printers.

The files AUTOLAB3.PRG, AUTOLAB.RSC and AVERY.DAT should be placed 
into the same directory as Papyrus and its .INF file.

You must use Autolabel BEFORE starting Papyrus. If Papyrus is already 
running, close it down before running Autolabel.

Run AUTOLAB3.PRG

The file AVERY.DAT is automatically loaded, although other database 
files may be selected if and when they become available. 

Enter the type of label you wish to use then select SEARCH. Note that 
the search is case-dependant.

The database will then be searched for the label type and the result 
displayed in the box below. Although the box only shows four entries, 
up to 50 'hits' may be displayed by using the up and down arrows.

Most label types appear in the database at least twice, with data for 
the label sheets in both Portrait or Landscape orientation. Click to 
select the data you wish to use.

You may now click on the 'Modify' button to update your PAPYRUS.INF 
file to include the new paper format.

You may then leave Autolabel or return and select another label 
format.

NOTE - IN CASE OF PROBLEMS, AUTOLABEL CREATES A COPY OF YOUR OLD 
PAPYRUS.INF FILE WITH AN .IBK EXTENSION.

Once you start Papyrus, open a new document then select Paper format 
from the File menu (Document menu on Papyrus 5). You should now be 
able to select the label type you require.

IMPORTANT - Later versions of Papyrus may complain that the .INF file 
CRC checksum is incorrect. Papyrus gives you the option of loading the 
file anyway, you should do so then re-save your options to create a 
new corrected .INF file.

When printing labels with Papyrus, each label is treated as a separate 
page. Papyrus automatically formats the labels into the correct 
position on the sheet. This makes it very easy to use Mail-merge to 
print labels from a database.

Note that although Autolabel sets the Paper format for you, you will 
need to set the Page Layout yourself. This normally means altering the 
margins to allow you to place your information in the correct position 
on the label.

The Avery Database
ÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿ
The AVERY.DAT database has been compiled from data supplied by Avery 
with their P.C. software. Any data contained within the database is 
the copyright of Avery Dennison.

In most cases you will select the label by it's reference number, e.g. 
L7414. Note that the letter should be typed as a capital, and there is 
no space between the letter and the numbers. Normally "L" refers to 
laser labels, "J" to inkjet labels and "P" to pin-feed labels.

You may also search the database by using keywords e.g. Cassette or 
Diskette. Autolabel will the display all the labels (up to 50) whose 
descriptions include this word.

The Portrait and Landscape fields refer to the way the data is 
formatted in the database. For most printers you will need to select 
the Portrait option. Autolabel does not change the Portrait/Landscape 
setting in Papyrus.

I can accept no responsibilty for errors or ommisions in this 
database.

with your hardware.
