You can use the AUTO feature for multiple formats during
printing. However, the numbering for AUTO does not start at 1
for each format. It continues sequentially, regardless of the
format.

For example, suppose you need to print four batches: two
using Format 1, and two using Format 2. First, select Format
1 and print out batches with the AUTO feature; AUTO1 and
AUTO2 are assigned to these batches. Next, switch to Format
2 to print the last two batches. AUTO3 and AUTO4 are
assigned to these two batches.

Copying a Batch

To save time at data entry, you can copy batch data from one
batch to the next. To copy a batch:

1. Enter the data for your first batch as usual (you can name

the first batch manually). After the batch has printed, you’ll
see

Format: NAME

only to leave the data as is.

4. When you have changed all the data you want to change,

press

#

. The printer will begin to print the copied batch

with the new data.

NOTE: If the batch quantity was not pre-set by

management for the format you are using, you
must enter a batch quantity.
