User Interface:

ƒThe left-hand side of the diagram shows the core flow created by User Interface. User input is required on screens 2 and 3

Labels:

ƒThe right-hand side of the diagram shows the flow of a label program to capture the variable data needed to complete the item label selected at 2

ƒ	User input is required on screens at A and B
ƒ	The item code entered in A is saved in a variable at C

ƒA process at X is used to browse through a lookup file to get the item description for the item code entered in A

ƒThe item description is saved in a variable at D

ƒWhen the user indicates at B that the item is ready to be weighed, a process at Y is used to read the weight scale and save the item’s weight in a variable at E

ƒLabel Mapping is used at Z to merge the variable data saved

in C , D and E with the label format for the item label

ƒThe variable label information is then passed back to the User Interface function at 3 for printing

User Interface and Labels relationship:

ƒThe selection of the item label at 2 starts the related label program depicted on the right-hand side of the diagram

ƒWhen the label program is finished, it passes control back to the User Interface at 3 to print the label
