Chapter 3: Design labels 63 Verify labels The USPS has specific rules about which elements you can print on your labels and where they should be positioned. Label Toolbox checks your label layout for you to ensure that it does not violate basic USPS rules. Label Toolbox catches several obvious errors, but it does not enforce all USPS rules on your label layout. Even if Label Toolbox finds no errors in your layout, we can't guarantee USPS acceptance. For details on USPS rules, see the DMM. ! Status window The Status window (View > Status) shows the elements in your layout and their status. If Label Toolbox finds something wrong with one of the elements of your layout, it will display either an error or a warning related to the current design. They are marked by the following symbols: Error: This sign signifies that there is a severe problem. If the problem is not corrected, your mailing could be rejected. Warning: This is not usually as severe as an error; however, it is recommended that you research the problem and attempt to fix it. How to fix your errors By right-clicking an error or warning in the Status window, you may be able to: ! View a help topic that gives you a description and possible solution to your problem.
