Abstract: In a method for adapting a label-making tool, a selection component may be presented via a user interface. The selection component may include a finite set of items corresponding to types of objects for labels. User input selecting an item corresponding to a type of label object may be received. Data-acquisition actions performable by the label-making tool to obtain data for the label object may be identified based on the type of the label object. A selection component including a finite set of items corresponding to the data-acquisition actions may be presented. User input selecting an item corresponding to a data-acquisition action may be received. The workflow of a label-making tool may be adapted to include the data-acquisition action. The tool may be configured to perform the data-acquisition action to generate a label including the obtained data.
Abstract: A label printer includes a receiving area configured for receiving a cartridge that includes a roll of media for printing labels thereon, the receiving area also including features for aligning a plurality of differently sized cartridges with a printing mechanism; and components configured for adjusting label sizing to provide virtual label sizes.
