You may create and modify labels for printing customer addresses to better suit your needs.
POSitive comes with two labels already defined: one with the bill to address and the other for the ship to address. They are both standard sized address labels designed to print on a full sheet of paper with 3x10 layout (3 labels across and 10 rows of labels).
Go to Report Center and select Customer Labels under Actions on the far left.
When you begin to edit customer labels you will see the following screen. These labels are stored in C:\POSitive\PRM\CUSLABS directory. The cuslabel.lbl is the label for Bill To information. The shplabel.lbl is for the selected ship to address. On the far right is a sample view of the label layout.
The file cuslabel.lbl is standard POSitive label. Highlight it and choose OK.
The editing window will look similar to the following
