RTFDLabeler

Software for printing labels and stickers; imports image data and user can set background color.
The rich text file with a picture created using TextEdit, Microsoft Word and OpenOffice.org document can be used as a manuscript.
It will become a colorful label if a background picture and a background color are set up.

API as NSArchiver was used by the old version of this application in the file as which an extension defines the label shape of lprn. The thing by which this API is eliminated from macOS10.13 is announced. NSKeyedArchiver is used instead of NSArchiver in version 10.13 of this application. When reading, both API is used to answer to the file as which the made label shape is defined with the old version. When reading in the present, I'm moving, but it'll be predicted that it isn't possible to read any more in the future. When preserving it again, it's written in in new API, so while a reading fact can be done, I'll recommend to preserve it again.

How to make a manuscript:

  1. One piece of manuscript of a label is drawn up from a text window.

    Selection of a main menu "File" and "New" command will display an empty window.

    If a file open dialog is displayed and a file is chosen in order to read files, such as RTFD, if the command "File""Open" is chosen, the contents of the file will be displayed.

    It is also possible to read an file exported to "Rich Text Format...". with Pages 6.1 by Apple.

  2. The text view in a window can arrange a text by the almost same operation as text editing of OS standard equipment. It is the edit mode of Rich Text Document with Attachments(RTFD) data.

    In order to embellish a text, various kinds of menus are prepared. The "Font" and the "Text" in a main menu "Tool" are those menus.

    It isn't possible to edit the "mathematical equations" made with Pages 6.1 by Apple.

  3. There are some methods in positioning of a text.

    • The character string of one line of only a space character is inserted, and the font size of the space character is adjusted.

    • It adjusts using a "Font" and a "Baseline".

    • It adjusts using the Center, Align Right , etc. of a "Text".

    • It adjusts using a "Font" and "Kern".

    • Since this "NSTextView" is not a view made for the layout, there is also a place which is hard to use. There is also the method of embedding the PDF data made from the software for a layout by the drug of a file icon.

  4. If the drug of the paste and the graphics file icon of image data is carried out, the picture will be embedded into a text.

    There is no function resized so that a picture and font size may be dedicated into a frame. It is necessary to prepare size so that it may be beforehand settled into a frame using other applications about a picture.

    An image format which standard API of Mac OS X supports is dealt with.

  5. A click of the button of a tool bar "Forward text" will transmit the contents of a text and the picture to each top of a preview window.

    If a text and a picture are transmitted to a preview window, it will be in the state where a print is made.Main menu "Print label" and "Print a page..." command is chosen, and a paper is set and printed.

    When some manuscripts are chosen with a mouse drug, only the data of the selected portion is transmitted to each top.

    When not chosen, all the data in a text view is transmitted.

  6. The text edited when "Save" button of the tool bar was clicked is saved at a file. The dialog for saving by a file name different from the time of reading, when the "Save As" button was clicked is called.

  7. A "Background" picture can be set up and a picture can be transmitted to each top.

    Selection of a main menu "Tool""Background..." command will display the window for a background image setup.

    A picture is arranged to the back of the data of each top transmitted by the command "Forward text".

    A label print is made even when only a background image is transmitted.


To set label form:

The numerical value currently written to the size description appended to the commercial label sheet is specified, respectively.

  1. When the "Label form" window is not displayed, main menu "Tool" and "Label form…" command is chosen.

  2. It clicks "Save As" from a tool bar, a file name is set up, and it once saves with the original setup.

  3. A "Label name" is determined.

  4. "Set" button determines paper size. When a borderless form is chosen, a printer driver expands optionally in case of a print, so all except for a borderless form is chosen.

To do label printing by a printer made of Brother:

A label print calls the direct CD/DVD/BD print function from a printer driver on macOS, and is carried out. A printer driver has to be CUPS. The direct CD/DVD/BD print function can't be called by AirPrint driver. When a driver to LAN access printer is installed, it's AirPrint by default, so it's requiring care. A driver to a USB connection printer was a CUPS driver by default.
