Chapter 5 : Using Processes

5.Using Processes

Overview

Chapter 5 introduction

This chapter explains how to work with processes in 123 Print.

A process is a general term for the commands that you can generate to execute a particular function or to manipulate the data within your project. Processes are actions you can assign following the execution of a label program prompt screen.

Since most of the processes in this chapter use variables, this chapter also includes an introduction to 123 Print variables.
