Once you've made adjustments, make sure to save the file before uploading it back to Orders.
Understand Margin Settings
The only fields you should be editing are explained below:
- margin_top: Controls the vertical offset of the label. Positive values move the label down, while negative values move it up.
- margin_left: Controls the horizontal offset of the label. Positive values move the label to the right, while negative values move it to the left.
Adjust Margins Incrementally
You should start with small adjustments to see the effect on your printed label. For example:
- To move the label up by 5 units, set
margin_top
to-5
:"margin_top": -5
- To move the label left by 5 units, set
margin_left
to-5
:"margin_left": -5
After making adjustments, please save the template file, upload it to your account, and then proceed to print a test label. Assess the changes to determine if the label fits appropriately. If the fit is not satisfactory, kindly repeat the process until the desired result is achieved.
Fine-Tune Adjustments
If the label is still not fitting correctly, continue adjusting the margin_top
and margin_left
values in small increments until the desired fit is achieved. Here are some example adjustments:
- If the label needs to move further up and to the left, set the values as below:
"margin_top": 10
"margin_left": -10
- If the label needs to move down and to the right, set the values as below:
"margin_top": 5,
"margin_left": 5
Uploading the Edited S19 Template File
From the window that opens, click the "Choose File" button, select the edited template file you downloaded, and click "+ Upload File" again. This action will overwrite the existing file on the system with your new configuration.
Please do not change the filename, as it needs to overwrite the existing file in the system.
