Datamax v1.1x user manual Project Flow, Labels, User Interface

							Chapter 1 : Primer
1.3. Project Flow
General introduction	123 Print structures your project flow using a combination of screens
	and processes that you create via 123 Print’s User Interface and
	Labels.
	This section gives a high level view of the flow and interrelationship
	between the screens that are created via the User Interface and those
	created via Labels.
	With User Interface, you can print any static label you want.
	With Labels, you can change a static label into a dynamic label by
	merging in variable data from data collection, user screen prompts, and
	processing logic.
	Please reference Section 3.2 – User Interface and Section 3.3 – Labels
	for detailed information about these functions.
User Interface	Every 123 Print project follows a pre-defined screen flow. You configure
	these screens through the User Interface function. This is the only
	screen flow function you need if you want to print static labels.
	This core flow is depicted here.
			Your		Project			Name
		Ver		1.00
									1
			Select			Label:
			<Label			Name>			2
									3
			<Label			name>
		Qty to				Print:

The first screen	1	is a Welcome screen.
The second screen		2 is the Select Label screen.
The third screen	3	is the Quantity to Print screen.

These screens are displayed in a black font on the Datamax printers.

When your 123 Print project is run on the printer, it first displays the Welcome screen. It then goes into a loop alternating display between the Select Label screen and the Quantity to Print screen.

Your application will loop infinitely between the second and third screens until you press the Menu (ESC) button on the front panel of the Datamax printer.

As you design your project in 123 Print, you have the option to customize the Welcome screen. By default 123 Print proposes your project name for the Welcome screen.

You then add the labels you want to be able to print from your project. When your project is run, this list of labels is presented on screen (2).

The user presses the Fwd ↑ and Rev ↓ buttons on the printer’s front panel to scroll through the list of available labels and, by pressing the Ent ↵ button, selects the label that is required for a given operation.

Here is an example of what screen (2) might look like on a printer when the fourth label in your project is a label for pallets:
