Discover how to create a SL6 label template in My Labels.

 Note: This label format uses default values that can be customized but if your SL6 labels have a different number of rows or columns or require a different page size (for example using a continuous feed style printer), you will need to use the Custom Label Set template.

Create the SL6 label template

  1. In the left navigation, click My Labels > Label Templates.
  2. From the Label templates screen, click New template.
  3. The Create new label template dialog opens.
  4. Enter a name for your new label type in the Label template name form field.
  5. Select SL6 (label set using two spine and two processing labels) from the Label Format drop-down list.
  6. For Units, select a unit of measurement.
    • Inches (default)
    • Centimeters
  7. Click Create label template.

 Note: Negative numbers cannot be used to adjust any settings in the label template.
