18Click the Have Disk button.





19Click the Browse button.

The tag formats have been updated, thus a Horizontal Offset of -0.06 and a Vertical Offset of -0.03 is no longer needed. If you are on an earlier version of Liberty, then these can be adjusted in Advanced Options. Click the Apply button once you are done.

Select the appropriate tag styles for your tag printer, depending on the type of tags you are printing from.

You must now print a tag to confirm everything is working properly.

If the printed tag does not appear correctly, you will need to adjust the offsets under Printing preferences > Advanced options of the printer driver in Control Panel.
