Creating a Custom Menu 6-1
C R E A T I N G A C U S T O M M E N U
Use the syntax provided in this chapter to write the menu-specific
section of an NCL file. Custom menus are only available in version 5.1 or
greater software.
You can build a menu with multiple options, based on your needs. For
example, in a distribution center, there may be different setups for each
function (receiving, shipping, sorting, etc.). The printer builds the menu
with the items specified and the user selects what they need.
