  • Patent number: 11597224
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for calibrating a printer for printing labels. According to one aspect, calibration label papers are provided to a printer. Each calibration label paper comprises a horizontal calibration mark and a vertical calibration mark. A test image is printed on a calibration label paper, the test image comprising a horizontal printer mark and a vertical printer mark printed parallel to their respective calibration marks. The calibration marks are compared with their respective printer marks. Using a computing device, coordinates of a virtual label grid representing the calibration label paper are adjusted based on the comparison of the marks. A second test image comprising new printer marks is printed, and the calibration marks are compared with the new printer marks. Upon alignment of the printer marks and the calibration marks, the adjusted coordinates of the virtual label grid are saved as default coordinates for the printer.

  • Patent number: 10013263
    Abstract: System and methods are provided for an interactive help file for a host software user interface. According to one aspect, a host interface screen having actionable fields is provided and a first virtual button is generated and displayed on the host interface screen. The host interface screen is segmented into zones and, in response to activation of the first virtual button, a plurality of second virtual buttons are generated and displayed on the host interface screen. Following activation of a second virtual button, one or more help files are retrieved, and the host interface screen is transformed such that zones of the host interface screen that are not associated with the activated second virtual button are deactivated, the zone associated with the activated second virtual button is overlaid with a set of annotated links associated with help files, and the transformed host interface screen is displayed.

  • Publication number: 20050200119
    Abstract: In the present invention, a form includes a plurality of popular sized labels for printing indicia thereon. Each label includes a perforation for separating the label to create smaller sized labels. The labels include a pressure sensitive adhesive for attaching them to files, shipping packages, business operations and the like. Each label may comprise environmentally friendly material that may be recycled. The adhesive also breaks down during the pulping process for creating recycled paper.
