;BATCH_NAME

One to eight characters for the name of

 

the batch. A priority batch name must

 

begin with a decimal. For example:

 

.SOCKS12.

 

NOTE: Each batch should have a unique

 

name, or you can omit the name

 

for automatic batch naming. If

 

multiple batches are sent with the

 

same name, all batches are

 

stored with the same name.

 

If you omit the batch name, the

 

printer will generate unique

 

names which begin with the

 

letters "AUTO" and end with a

 

4-digit number. The 4-digit

 

number is an increment and can

 

have a value from 1-9999

 

(example: AUTO1354, where

 

1354 equals the increment).

Example

 

 

{B11,200,2,5,2,0,3; p
