A batch header begins the file. It tells which format the batch uses and how many labels to print. To record batch data, make a copy of the worksheet in Appendix D, "Format Design Tools."

A batch packet contains three parts:

batch header		identifies the format and how many labels to
		print.
batch control		defines the print job.
batch data		defines the actual information printed on the
(optional)		label.
Syntax	{B,format#,N/U,quantity p
B1. B	Batch Header.
B2. format#	Format number: 0-999to use.
B3. N/U	Controls how image is generated.
	N	New. Erase image and re-image all fields using
		online data. Any missing fields will be blank.
	U	Update last image with 1 or more fields.
		All other fields remain the same as the last
		queued batch.
B4. quantity	Quantity to print (0-32000).
	NOTE: Using 0 pre-images the field to reduce the imaging
		time for labels. See "Batch Quantity Zero Method"
		for more information.
