Printing labels

Labels are set up in WordPerfect® so that you can print to portions of a page. Essentially, label printing is set up in the same way as divided pages. The sheet or roll of labels is called the physical page, and each individual label is called a logical page.

WordPerfect includes many label definitions that are commonly used or that match commercially available labels. When you want to print labels or similar kinds of projects, browse the list to see if there is one that meets your needs.

Because the printer information is in the printer driver, the same document on a different computer will not necessarily have the same printer information. This could affect where information prints at the margin.

Dithering methods

Dithering places pixels with specific colors or values relative to other pixels of a specific color. The relationship of one colored pixel to another creates the appearance of additional colors that do not exist in the color palette.

With WordPerfect, you can control both the dithering method and the dithering source. Provided your printer supports these options, you can:

•	choose one of three color or gray-scale blending methods (Error Diffusion, Ordered Dither, or Halftone)

•	have dithering applied by WordPerfect or by your printer

Error diffusion scatters pixels irregularly, making edges and colors softer. Ordered dithering approximates color blends using fixed dot patterns; as a result, solid colors are emphasized and edges appear harder.

The Halftone option is especially useful if you are making photocopies, since it can give your original sharper image detail. If you choose Halftone dithering, you can further refine your selection, increasing the lines per inch (lpi) setting to increase image sharpness and reduce gray shading. You can use Dither source to specify where the bitmapped or vector image is converted into the final format for printing. The image can be converted by WordPerfect or the printer. If you are using a PostScript® printer, you can also specify the angle of line screening.
