Recall label
The label stored in the printer memory can be immediately printed out. Using the recall
process the software creates another command file to instruct the printer which label from
the memory to print. The recall label command can occupy a few bytes of data only. It
depends on the situation you have.
l
Fixed labels: If you have labels without any variable contents, the recall command
file contains just the recall label command.
l
Variable labels: If you have labels with some variable fields, the command file will
include the values for these variables and the recall label command.
To use the store and recall printing mode, do the following:
1. Make sure to select the appropriate printer driver for your label printer. Not all label
printers have the ability to use the store and recall printing mode.
2. Select File -> Label Setup and go to the Printer tab.
3. Enable the option Store label template and recall for printing in the Print Mode sec-
tion.
4. Click OK.
5. Define you label template.
All object on the label for which you want to be variable should be formatted as internal
printer objects. You must format text objects in printer internal fonts (not Truetype fonts).
You must format the bar code objects as printer internal bar codes. You can still use var-
iable objects formatted in Truetype fonts, or variable pictures, or database fields, how-
ever, during the label store process default values will be sent to the printer.
6. When ready for printing, select File -> Print.
7. Go to the Store Label Template tab.
8. Make sure the 'Store location' points to the correct memory location in the printer.
9. Type in or select the values for variable objects that are not formatted as internal printer
objects. These variables will have the same value on each label, they will behave as they
are objects with fixed value.
10. Click on Store button to create the command file with label template description and
send it to the printer.
11. Go to the General Tab.
12. Type in the values for prompted variables on the label. These variables link to the inter-
nal printer objects on the label, that's why you can set their values to different value with
every print.
13. Click on Recall button to send the variable values and recall label command to your
label printer.
14. You can preview the data that is sent to the printer using the Store and Recall function.
In the Print dialog window, select Analyze Stream on the Advanced tab. A Print
Stream Analysis window will open, displaying the stored data in the Store Stream
frame. The Recall Frame will display the data that is sent to the printer during sub-
sequent printing of a stored label.
