      • Include: Items in the list will be printed on the label based on the label Type selected in the area above. NOTE: Addresses are grayed out if you have chosen 'Mail' as these are already included in the printed label. The SID # and Homeroom are not available to be on the labels, so they are also grayed out. To print student names only, choose 'Folder', then uncheck all of the items in the last section of the setup box.
