Design for labels at saw
To print labels at the saw design a label template file (that matches the restrictions for saw labels) and send the template file to the saw. The features that can be set for each label depend upon the Saw type (CADmatic 1/2, Homag, CADmatic 3/4/5 or Online Label PC). At the Main screen:-
● Select: Tools - Saw label designer
At the Saw sub-menu select the saw type: CADmatic 3
The label designer screen is shown.

The label designer operates in the same way as for other types of label design but there are some extra restrictions to note.
