   3.2.10   Layers
            Layers contain all different objects composing a label.
            Each layer can be hide or locked. Each object on the layer can also be individually hide or locked in order to prevent
            moving.
            A layer can also be assigned to a pre-defined printing resolution. For example one layer for a 300 dpi resolution.

4.1.7       Color management

    i       Notice!
            Picture split color settings are only used when printing on a two color printer.

            When printing on a two color printer (XC ...), you can specify the secondary color to print.
            For this you can select a color from the list or pick it directly on the screen or in your label using the eyedropper tool.
            The objects defined with this color will then automatically send to the secondary color printhead.
            Different settings to adjust the tolerance of this color are also available.
            The gamma correction allows you to change the rendering of the lightest colors.
            Colors auto levels redefines the color scale by applying the lightest pixel to the white color and the darkest one to the
            black color.

   4.2         Devices
               All cab devices drivers are build-in in cablabel S3.
               Devices are installed in the main application and their print settings will be saved in the document after the first
               printing.
                Attention!
       !        Unlike other labelling software, in cablabel S3 the label is created regardless of the device or resolution.
                The label can then be printed on any device.
                So, there is no default or active device.

5.2.3.6     Interpretation of Unicode syntax
            When creating a text, you can select to enable or not the interpretation of Unicode syntax, for the characters entered
            manually or inserted from the character map.
            If checked, the [U:x] syntax is directly interpreted, in order to see in cablabel S3 the rendering of Unicode characters,
            as they will then be reproduced on printout or with a barcode reader.

             Attention!
    !        Depending on the characters, it is sometimes necessary to disable the interpretation. For example using a
             text object containing a carriage return as a datasource for a barcode.

            When creating or editing a text:
            XX Select the Miscellaneous tab (1)
            XX Enable / disable Interpretation of Unicode syntax by clicking on the checkbox (2)
            XX Validate by clicking on the OK button

   5.2.3.7   Multi line and max width
             By default a text without carriage return is always displayed on a single line. A long text or with a dynamic content,
             requires then a fixed paragraph width.

             To define a paragraph width:
             XX Select the Font tab (1)
             XX Increase / Decrease the Line spacing (2) which is specific to each font
             XX Specify the Max width of paragraph (3) at which a line break will then automatically be done
