Abstract
There is provided a method of labeling a job in a printing system. The method includes the steps of storing, in memory, a list of electronic labels and displaying, on a display screen, both the list of electronic labels and a print outline with a selected identifiable area. The selected identifiable area is positionable on the print outline for representing a relative size, location and orientation of an area on a print upon which a selected one of the electronic labels is to be printed, and the displaying step includes applying a grid to the list so that a series of cells is superposed relative to the the electronic labels. In operation, a first location at which a copy of the selected electronic label is to be printed on a selected one of a plurality of prints is indicated and a plurality of prints, with the selected electronic label printed on the selected print at the first location, is produced when all of the selected electronic label is disposed in a selected one of the series of cells.
