To pre-image a label:

1.Send the format and a batch header in one file. The first time you send the batch header, use the parameter N (new batch), and the parameter 0 for (zero quantity).

Example

{B,1,N,0 p }

The printer images constant text, line, box, and graphic fields, but does not print them.

2.Input data for each field, and send it with a batch header using the parameter U (update) and a quantity of zero. When the printer receives the data, it immediately images the field, but does not print it.

Example	{B,1,U,0 p
	1,"RODGER DIST CTR" p }
	{B,1,U,0 p
	2,"8292" p }

At this time, the printer is imaging all associated fields, including fields that copy from other fields.

3.Repeat step 2 for each field except the last one.

{B,1,U,0 p 3,"BROADWAY" p } {B,1,U,0 p

4,"555 WEST OAK AVE." p }

4.For the last field, input data and send it with the quantity of labels you want printed. When the printer receives input for the last field, it immediately prints the labels.

Example	{B,1,U,10 p
	5,"DAYTON, OHIO" p }
