Before You Begin

You'll need:

  1. Sample TXT or CSV file - Example of the data format you'll be printing
  2. Sample label image - Picture or sketch of desired label layout

Critical: The data field order cannot change once configured. Ensure your sample represents the actual format your system will send.
