Understanding Labels Fields in Calibration Control

Review these guidelines to get the most out of printing labels with Calibration Control (our Calibration Management Software).

Need to Know Basics: Overview List

    All templates are customizable; these sample previews may help you determine a default label template (.lbx file) for selecting your Default Label Options, or to customize yourself with the available data fields listed at the bottom.

Label Templates Naming Requirements must meet requirements for successful software recognition and printing compatibility: 

  • Required File Naming Format Sequence 
    1. The .lbx file name sequence starts with the label size of the tape width in millimeter (mm) ONLY,  followed by a hyphen,
    2. Next, the type of label requires its specific keyword (file naming conventions are described below),  followed by a hyphen,
    3. The end of the file name is an identifier (e.g., next increment, characters, or combination mask)

  • Required File Naming Conventions:
    • The equipment Asset tags must use 'Asset' for the label file name, (e.g., 24-Asset-05).
    • The next Calibration labels must use 'DueCal' for the file name, (e.g. 18-DueCal-02).   (*CNR frequency exempt)
    • Creating a Maintenance label must have 'DueMaint' for the file name, (e.g. 24-DueMaint-01).
    • The custom label for a grouped equipment System must have 'System' for the file name, (e.g. 36-System-08).
    • *Calibration Not Required (CNR) or Next Use as calibration frequencies require the specific Cal Label file naming conventions:
    • Due Cal Labels for Calibration Not Required Frequency must have 'CNR' for the label file name, (e.g. 12-CNR-04).
    • Equipment with a Next Use Cal Frequency also use 'CNR' in the label file name in current version 9, (e.g. 18-CNR-09).  In older version 8, use 'NextUse' in the file name, (e.g. 24-NextUse-03).

    Customized Templates with Label Fields

  • P-touch Editor:  The P-touch editor software that comes with P-touch printers (or download from Brother) is required to edit the 150+ labels that come with Calibration Control or to create custom labels.
  • Editing Label Templates:  You can edit Calibration Control label templates in the free P-touch Editor software. The label fields below are the designated Object Names in the Textbox or Barcode Object Properties.
  • Using Label Fields:  The label fields below correspond to the specific data fields used in Calibration Control.  Copy the exact label field format when modifying any given template.
  • Label Fields:  All of the available label fields are shown below.
