Note:
Be careful and do not create an infinite loop, when label printing would not end.

Variable quantity: Some variable on the label will set the quantity of labels to be

printed. In most cases this will be some field from the database. The application
does not know how many labels will be printed. When the data is processed on the
label, the variable quantity gets its value.

From variable: The value of the selected variable defines the quantity of labels

that will be printed.

Advanced Options: Click this button to set advanced options for the quantity of labels.

Condition: This is a Visual Basic Script boolean expression. Only two results are
possible (True and False). Use this option to enable current action only when some term
is met. The action will be started only if condition returns True as the result of the
expression.

Advanced Options for Label Quantity

Number of Skipped Labels: Defines the number of labels that will not be printed. The
option is only applicable for the first sheet of labels, not for each sheet. The option is
useful if some labels on the sheet have already been printed and you do not want to print
them again.

Note:
The option for skipping labels is applicable when printing labels to office printers. It is
not available when using thermal printers.

Identical Label Copies: The option sets the number of label copies you want to use with
every printed label.

Label Sets: The option instructs how many times the printing process should be repeated.

For example:
If you set Number of Labels to Fixed 5 and Number of labels sets to 3 in the Advanced
Options, the printing of 5 labels will be repeated three times, resulting in 15 printed
labels.

command files are supported:
