Images and Graphics
When you select Image Size Rule in the Properties box and select the options button in the text box,
Loftware Label Manager displays three options.
Option Description
Allow Resizing
This option automatically resizes a
new image to fit the image box, as
described above.The dimensions of
the place-holder always remain the
same, but the critical aspects of an
image (for example, the roundness
of a circle) may be distorted.
Preserve Aspect Ratio (default)
This option gives you the best
available rendering of an image
while keeping it within the original
image box, although the image may
not necessarily fill out the available
space in the image box When you
choose this option, a circle always
remains a circle (its circular shape is
never distorted). The image keys off
the upper left-hand corner of the
image box.
Preserve Image Size
This option ignores the size of the
filler image and prints the image to
its original file size, keying off the
upper left-hand corner of the image
box. At print time, a large image
could spill over outside the image
area and obscure other fields.
Dither Method
Loftware Label Manager automatically matches the color depth of any images you print to the target
printer; that is, you can send color images to a thermal transfer printer. For most applications, the
automatic conversion performed by Loftware Label Manager provides the best results and there is no
need to dither the image. The default Dither Method is none.
However, there are cases where you may want to specify a dither method:
l If you are using an image with more than 256 colors. Try different dithering algorithms to obtain
the best results.
l If your image is shown as a black box or is not shown. Some images may disappear when their
color depth is adjusted. Dithering may allow these images to be used with Loftware Label
Manager.
