3.2 Sending a Print Job to the Printer
In order to print labels, you must send a print Job to the printer. The print job
tells the printer what label to print, what information to print on the label, and how
many labels to print.
Getting a print job to the printer depends on how your company system is set up.
You may be using AVERY DENNISON’s label design program PCMate Platinum,
or you may be using a special application on a PC or a mainframe. Consult your
supervisor on how your company sends print jobs.
