Batch data is the actual information printed on the supply. Batch data fills in the format’s text, bar code, and non-printable text fields.

A batch packet contains the following 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 label.
(optional)

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.”

Syntax		{B,format#,N/U,quantity p
B1.	B	Batch Header.
B2. format#		Format number (0-999) to use.
B3.	N/U	Controls how image is generated.
		N New (default). Erase image and re-image all fields using
		online data. Any missing fields will be blank.
		U Update last image with one or more fields.
		All other fields remain the same as the last
		queued batch.
B4.	quantity	Quantity to print (1-999).
		Note: Using 0 pre-images the field to reduce the imaging time for labels.
		See “Batch Quantity Zero Method” for more information.
Example		{B,1,N,1 p

Defines a batch header that uses format #1 and reimages all fields using the online data. One label is printed with this batch.
