There are so many options available for printing calibration and asset labels that getting on top of the details can sometimes be a bit daunting.  Understand and follow these guidelines to get the most out of printing labels with our calibration management software (Calibration Control).

1. Label Basics:  If you haven't done so already, be sure to cover the basics of label printing by watching the label quick start video and reading the notes below it.
2. Folder Basics:  Since you'll be working in the file system, be sure to watch the video on understanding the Calibration Control folders.
3. Label Naming Rules:  All asset labels must have the word asset in the label name, calibration labels must have duecal and calibration not required labels must have CNR.  These words (asset, duecal, & CNR) allow Calibration Control to identify the type of label.
4. P-touch Editor:  The P-touch editor software that comes with P-touch printers (or download from Brother) is required to edit the 120+ labels that come with Calibration Control or to create your own labels.
5. Label Fields Available:  All of the 26 label fields to the right are available for custom calibration labels and 20 are available for asset labels.
6. Using Label Fields:  Access the label fields to the right by using the P-touch Editor to change the Object Name of text or barcode objects of a given label.
7. Sample Labels:  Check out the PDF of all the standard labels.  It's a good resource for choosing which label you want to use.
