Hi

I bought 1 package of Panduit's Laser/Inkjet labels (S100X150YAJ) to
print cable labels. Am I now forced to buy Panduit's Easy-mark label
printing software to successfully print on the labels or are there
other options that will enable me to print on the lable sheets?




TIA
Paolo

No. You can use any word processor to make the label. You might be
able to make a new label layout to your dimensions (Look for how to
print Avery labels and then look for a "new" or "custom" choice.)

I was never able to find way to make Word generated numbers on lines,

1
...
10000

I use a Unix shell script, below to generate numbers from 1 to as high
as I need in an ASCII file, use a programmers editor to add the
additional text on each line and then use a word processor to make a
table-formatted page to make as many columns as you need.

The PITA is to get the vertical pitch right, to the pixel. The last
time I did it, MS Word wasn't a precision tool for that. Lots of trial
and test.

Print on plain paper and then register to a page of Panduit material
and hold it up to the light to see how close you are.


#!/bin/sh
if [ $1x = x ]; then
echo Usage: counter.sh limit
exit 1
fi
i=0
while [ $i != $1 ]; do
i=`expr $i + 1`
echo $i
done

Don't blame me. I voted for Gore. Proudly then, even more so in hindsight.

If you are using a Unix/Linux system already, do look at glabels.

Label geometry is done per-label so you don't have to make all the text
line up for the whole page. There are provisions for defining your own
layout if none of the (hundred or so) predefined ones fit.

You can upsize the view and at same time hold down the ALT key for
precise alignment.

PowerPoint developed for brain dead managers) actually is an even better
tool for making labels and biz cards. Again, use the ALT key for alignment
