Batch Method
This is similar to the sequential method, but it is used when
you want to send multiple batches. All data for the first batch
is sent down at one time, and the printer then images each
field. As soon as the last field for the first batch is imaged,
your labels begin to print for that batch. This process is
repeated for each subsequent batch.
Example {Format}
{Batch Data}
{Batch Data}
{Batch Data}
Batch Quantity Zero Method
You should use the Batch Quantity Zero method when your
application requires operator intervention to enter data. While
the operator is entering data, the previous field is sent with a
batch quantity of zero. The printer images the field, but does
not print it. After the operator enters the data for the last field,
the batch quantity can be specified. The last remaining field is
imaged, and the label prints almost immediately.
You can follow this procedure when using the Batch Quantity
Zero method:
1. Send the format and a batch header in one file. The first
time you send batch information at the prompt, use the
parameter N (new batch), and the parameter 0 for (zero
quantity). This ensures the label is properly positioned.
