Using Variable Quantity
Variable Quantity is a special variable in the label. You use this variable, when you do not know
exact number of labels for printing. Using this variable, you can enter the number of labels to print
during printing itself.
The example:
You have a label of a product. Already defined variables are "Name" and "Price".
We want to print labels as follows:
l
Enter Name and Price values
l
Enter quantity for this product
l
Print
l
Start with new product.
Do the following:
1. Create new variable, named "Quantity".
2. Tick the option The variable value is used as label quantity in the General tab.
3. Edit variables "Name" and "Price". Go to the Prompting tab (assuming, the variables
are already defined as prompted variables).
4. Change the Prompt setting to Based on variable quantity.
When you start printing labels, the quantity parameter in the print dialog is already set to Variable
quantity (defined from label variable).
