Paxar 9400 manual Prioritizing a Batch

2. Using Data Entry

Prioritizing a Batch

You can enter a batch to print immediately after the one currently printing. A prioritized batch name must begin with a decimal.

Format: TEST

Enter Batch Name: .NO8______

For example we have seven batches printing. On the screen above, we entered batch .NO8 to print immediately.

NOTE: You cannot prioritize batches if the automatic batch naming feature is active. Automatic batch naming is selected in Printer Options.

Separating Multiple Batches

When printing several batches, you can set the printer to generate a special tag at the end of each batch. This "batch separator" is an extra tag that prints at the end of a batch. This will help you see where each batch begins and ends.

This feature works with the 920™ and 924™ stackers to separate multiple batches. For the 920 stacker, the batch separator has a black stripe at the top. The tag is as long as the tags in the printed batch. For the 924 stacker, the batch separator is a double length tag at the end of a batch. This tag does not contain a stripe.

To turn the batch separator option on or off, you must go to Printer Options mode. The separator adds one to your batch count. To select the batch separator, see Section 5, "Setting Printer Options."

After you select batch separators, the printer automatically prints a separator at the end of every batch. This increases the number of tags in each batch by 1.
