Paxar 9400 manual Copying a Batch

9400 Series Operator's Handbook

You can use the AUTO feature for multiple formats during printing. However, the numbering for AUTO does not start at 1 for each format. It continues sequentially, regardless of the format.

For example, suppose you need to print four batches: two using Format 1, and two using Format 2. First, select Format 1 and print out batches with the AUTO feature; AUTO1 and AUTO2 are assigned to these batches. Next, switch to Format 2 to print the last two batches. AUTO3 and AUTO4 are assigned to these two batches.

Copying a Batch

To save time at data entry, you can copy batch data from one batch to the next. To copy a batch:

1.Enter the data for your first batch as usual (you can name the first batch manually). After the batch has printed, you'll see

Format: NAME	SAMPLE
Enter Batch Name:	SAMPLE

2.Just press E. The screen will briefly display

COPIED batch AUTO#_

3.You'll then see data entry prompt with previously entered data. For each prompt you can either change the data and press E, or press E only to leave the data as is.

4.When you have changed all the data you want to change, press # . The printer will begin to print the copied batch with the new data.

NOTE: If the batch quantity was not pre-set by management for the format you are using, you must enter a batch quantity.
