Downloading Methods ––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––

batch data using one of three methods:
✦ Sequential Method
✦ Batch Method
✦ Batch Quantity Zero Method
Sequential Method
With the sequential method, you send all your format and
batch data at one time. Use this method when your

data. All data is sent down at one time, and the printer then
images each field. As soon as the last field is imaged, your
labels begin to print.
