Customise your own label

Before you customise your label, you must first make a copy of the Minfos label.

1. Highlight the correct Totals Label in the Dispense Template Editor window.

2. Click Save a Copy. 

The Save a Copy window is displayed.

3. Give your custom label a memorable name, e.g. ‘Custom Totals Label’.4. Click Save Copy.

Your new template is now saved in the Dispense Template Editor window.

The Paragraph Properties window is displayed.

7. Double click the Aa button that displays to the right of the font details when the font field is selected.The Font window is displayed. 8. Here you can make changes to the SOF text. E.g. increasing the size to 18 and changing the font to Arial.

9. Click OK to save from the Font window and then again from the Paragraph Properties window.

As a result, the size of the SOF text is increased on the template – note that, in this example, this is cut-off as the field is not large enough to accommodate.
