NiceWatch User Guide
The order or appearance of the columns in the CVS file is no important. But it is
important that all rows in the same CVS file have the same structure.
Session print is used automatically. Session printing is disabled when you change the
printer or label within the same CVS file.
All columns in the CVS file are used when setting the values to the label variables. If the
variable with the name from CVS does not exist on the label, no error message is
displayed.
Command File: XML File
The commands available in the XML command files are a subset from NiceCommands.
You can use the following commands: Login, Quit, Label, LabelClose, Set, Port, Printer,
SessionEnd, SessionStart, SessionPrint, SetDatabase and SetTable. Of course, the syntax
of the commands differs a little bit when used in XML file.
The root element is Nice_Commands that must be present in the XML command file.
The next element that must follow is Label, that specifies which label to use. Next you
have two options for label printing:
1. Print labels normally using the element Print_Job.
2. Print labels in session using the element Session_Print_Job.
You can also change the printer to which the labels will print, you can set the variable
value and you can change the database that is currently used on the label.
