SYNOPSIS

DESCRIPTION

This manual page documents briefly the labelnation command. This manual page was written for the Debian GNU/Linux distribution because the original program does not have a manual page.

labelnation is a Perl program that provides a command-line interface for printing onto peel-off label sheets. It comes with built-in support for the most common label standards (Avery Dennison 5160, Maco LL-5805, etc.), plus the ability to define your own label parameters.

Please see /usr/share/doc/labelnation/help.txt for further instructions how to use this program.
