Label Printer Manual

Label Printer is ChemBasic program for the preparation the labels for all sketched chemical substances on the page.

1. Draw needed chemical structures on the ChemSketch' page.
2. Run lprinter.bas using Run ChemBasic... command from the File menu.
3. In the dialog box appeared type the Label Form file name and click OK.

Program will form labels in a new separate document and then asks you whether to print prepared document or not. You can print labels instantly or from ChemSketch after previewing and editing.

You can use Label Printer to prepare labels for structures from SDF-file. To do this, run Label Printer from an empty ChemSketch' page.

Label Form files.

Label Form file is ACD/ChemSketch' file which is prepared according to definite rules as described below.
There are some Label Form files enclosed in a package which allow you print labels on the standard label products (Avery Standard). You can either use this instant forms or  create your own Label Form files.
Note that it is convenient to place your Label form files in the same directory as Lprinter.bas. In this case it is enough to type only file-name under program execution. If your Label Form file is placed in another directory, it is necessary to specify the full path.  

Label Form file preparation. 

Label Form file must contain two pages. First page must contain rectangles which defines position of labels on the page and label's dimentions. Label forms  will be inserted in this rectangles by program.
Second page must contain label form sample.  
May contain TextBoxes which will be filled with some molecule-related info,
including molecular structural diagram.
There are some reserved words, whose appearance in form's TextBox will result in placing into current label:

           Structure.Auto  - molecular diagram
           IUPACName.Auto - molecular name
           Brutto.Auto - brutto-formula
           MW.Auto - molecular weight.

The form may also contain any ChemSketch drawings (Rectangles, Polylines, etc.) necessary to markup label's border and layout. It may also contain any ChemSketch objects which will be copied into final label without modification(company logo, etc.). 

See as_2160.sk2 file as a sample of Label Form files.
