SOFTWARE CONFIGURATION
----------------------

DATABACK
--------
The installation of DATABACK v4.15 is not required to run SmartLabel, but
it is needed to send label format files to scale.  From the FILE SETUP
screen, click the DATABACK button or choose the DATABACK -> RUN command
from the menu items.  This will prompt for the DATABACK path or you may 
browse to its location.  Enter the appropriate path for the DATABACK.EXE
executable file.  To change the path for DATABACK, choose the
DATABACK -> CHANGE PATH menu item.  After the DATABACK setup, clicking the
DATABACK button or choosing the DATABACK -> RUN menu item should run
the DATABACK software.


ENTITY BACKGROUND
-----------------
The label format entity backgrounds may be toggled to display an opaque
or transparent background.  The background can be toggled by choosing the
ENTITY OPTIONS -> ENTITY BACKGROUND menu items.  Viewing transparent provides
a more realistic view of the label format.  Viewing opaque gives a more
accurate depiction of where the entity borders are located.  Text based
entities which display an area (description, extra text, store address, etc)
will always have opaque backgrounds.


COLOR CONFIGURATION
-------------------
The colors displayed with the opaque background may be altered.  By choosing
the ENTITY OPTIONS -> ENTITY COLORS menu items, colors may be set for the
various entities and active entity borders.  At any time, the original
color scheme may return by selecting RESET DEFAULTS.
