Creating Labels Using Internal Batch Software

If any of these symbols are entered in the type position, the printing will either increment or decrement numbers or letters in the label position specified earlier in this field. Information entered in the data/prompt field in the next step will tell the Printer the increment value being used. When viewing the print label screen , it will ask ‘Initial Increment?’ or ‘Initial Decrement?’ The number entered at this time will increment or decrement each time a label is printed. The number of labels to be printed with the same number before an increment or decrement occurs can be set with the ALT-P command as described earlier. The default value is 1.

∙Press the ‘C’ Key to signify a comment. Any data entered in the data/prompt position will appear on the print label screen as a comment. This function is a useful way to give the operator special instructions, such as how to load a particular type of media for the labels to be printed. Comment fields do not affect the printing of the label.

∙Press the ‘R’ Key to request a repeat of the previous field's data.

∙Press the ‘T’ Key to print the time and date.

After entering any one of the above choices, the cursor will move to the data/prompt position.

12.In the data/prompt position, there are six options:

If ‘D’ was selected in the preceding step, enter the desired data. The Printer automatically computes how many characters there are room for on the label width specified in your ALT-P label width and/or label length settings. If there is not enough room specified in the Row and/or Column measurements, a ‘Not Enough Room For Field Data’ error message will appear.
