Abstract
Examples associated with template generation are disclosed. One example includes identifying a set of edges of a set of labels from an image of a sheet of labels. Members of the set of labels in an unused state are also identified. A printing template is generated for the sheet of labels based on the edges of the set of labels and based on which members of the set of labels are in an in-used state.
Claims15
A method, comprising:
- identifying edges of a set of labels from an image of a sheet of labels;
- identifying which members of the set of labels are in an unused state;
- and
- generating a printing template for the sheet of labels based on the edges of the set of labels and on which members of the set of labels are in an unused state.
A system, comprising:
- a label sheet analysis module to identify, from an image of a partially used label sheet, which labels on the partially used label sheet are in an unused state and dimensions of the labels in the unused state;
- and
- a template generation module to generate a printing template for the partially used label sheet based on which labels are in the unused state and on the dimensions of the labels in the unused state.
A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing processor-executable instructions that when executed by a processor cause the processor to:
- scan a label sheet
- generate a printing template for the label sheet based on which print labels on the label sheet are in an unused state, on which print labels are in a used state, and on dimensions of the print labels;
- and
- transmit the printing template to an external device.
