This will print a single sheet with your filled in information to a single sheet on most printers using IE and Navigators default Font size settings.
However:
If form prints to 2 sheets you have a choice of 3 fixes.

  Limits

  Only 99 pieces are allowed in an Imaging Weblot, however you may send an unlimited number of pieces as before by creating a new lot for the next pieces, perhaps using the same name but with an _1 or _2 or _a or _b appended.

  If you create lots with no pieces (presumably only true if you accidentally exit the web site) the lot not be available on your next visit. Empty lots are assumed to be the result of a connection failure and are deleted so the lot name can be used again.

• EXITING: Simply close the web browser, you may resume where you left off by logging into lot again until you hit  Close   to send us your lot.

Title:
The title text field includes tags needed by the ABLE bindery software, using them is the best way to ensure against errors.
Best not to type in ALL UPPERCASE; follow the typical English class rules for writing titles. Stamped titles are always printed in uppercase. It is best not to sacrifice legibility to unneeded ALL CAPS typing.
Type the appropriate data in between the tags. You are free to move them and retype them as long as the data appears between a matching set. You may erase unused tags if you wish to remove clutter from the printed slips.
If using the tags you may use a '\' (backslash) for a line break.
You can type any information in between the tags listed below, they need not match the field definitions but are merely sequential placeholders for lettering.
e.g., <A>subtitle</A>
      <M>Nos.6-12</M>

Field Definitions:
<T></T> is for title
<A></A> is for author
<ED></ED> is for edition
<V></V> is for volume
<M></M> is for month
<Y></Y> is for year
<P></P> is for pages, in case of splitting a volume
<CALL></CALL> is for call number

Private ID:
Is found at the bottom left of the slip. This field has a relation to the tags.
If your items have a Private ID code you wish Acme to use as a cd label or as a title key type it here. However if you have a call number but the 'Private ID' is left blank then we will use the Call Number as the items private ID.

• Rules Summary:
• Place text between the paired opening and closing tags you wish to use.
• Empty tags will be ignored
• Use single backslashes '\' to place line breaks

All of these title 'styles' will download directly to Acme's software. Each 'style' will produce the same cover stamping as the others. As you can see the opening tag and the closing tag must bracket the lettering. More complex Periodical Examples are below the Monograph examples.
