Configuring Label Printing

Leap supports label printing using a PDF printing function. Leap honors the Polaris Administration (staff client) label printing settings. If you already have your label settings configured in Polaris Administration (staff client), then configure your default label options in Leap and print.

Note:
PDF printing can use any font you designate as an embedded font. You are responsible for licensing fees and restrictions if you select a licensed font. For more information, see Label Printing System Administration.

To configure default label options in Leap

  1. In Leap, open the user settings by doing the following:

    1. Select your user name in the toolbar.

    2. Select Settings.
      The Leap User Settings, Print Options page opens.

  2. In the Label Options section, under Label Type, select the appropriate label type for your printer.

  3. (Optional) If you want the label type you selected to appear as the default when you open that Label Manager in Leap, select Use as Label Manager default.

  4. Select one of the following label print methods under Label Options:

    • On Demand - Leap opens Label Manager when you request a label so that you can view the label before printing it. The On Demand method works best if you want to edit your label content before printing.

    • Batch - Leap queues the label when you request it, so you can print labels in bulk later. To print queued labels, go to Label Manager. The Batch option works well for creating sheets of labels for multiple items. Batch printing is limited to 500 labels at a time.

    • Quick print - Leap prints the label at the designated printer without opening Label Manager in Leap. The Quick print method works best with continuous-feed printers.

  5. Select SAVE.

  6. Print a spine label or Print a serial label, and review the results. Margin-handling is different in Leap than in the staff client. If there are problems with the first printing, have your system administrator check the printing-related settings in Polaris Administration (staff client).
