Batch data is the actual information printed on the supply. Batch data fills in
the format’s text and bar code 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
(optional)
defines the actual information printed on the label.
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 (1 to 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 (0 to 999). 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.
