filename contain space characters, enclose the whole string in double quotes.
APPEND
The parameter APPEND is optional. By default the print action overwrites
the file on the disk, when it already exists. If you want to append the data to
the existing file, make sure to use the parameter APPEND.
Once you use a command PORT in the JOB file it will be valid until the next PORT command, or
until the end of file (whichever comes first). If you use PRINTER command after the PORT com-
mand has been executed, the PORT setting will overwrite the port defined for the selected printer. If
you want to use the actual port that is defined for the selected printer, you have to use another
PORT command with empty value, like this PORT = "".
PRINT quantity [, skip [, identical label copies [, number of label sets]]]
Command PRINT starts printing. The first parameter is the quantity of the labels that should be
printed.
This many labels will be printed.
VARIABLE
Some variable contains the information how many labels should be
printed. It can be label-defined prompted variable or a field from the
database.
UNLIMITED
If you use a database to acquire values for variable fields, unlimited
printing will print as many labels as there are record in the database. If
you do not use a database, there is not much sense to use this option. In
this case the maximum number of labels that thermal printer internally
supports will be printed.
The parameter skip in the command represents the number of the labels you want to omit before first
printed label on the page. The parameter is used for label printing on sheets of paper. When the part
of the page is already printed, you can re-use the same sheet by shifting the start location of the first
label. The rest of the unused labels on the page can be printed with the help of this parameter.
The parameter identical label copies specifies how many copies of the same label should be printed.
The parameter number of label sets specifies how many times the whole printing process should be
repeated.
If you do not need to set some of the supplementary parameters, use their default values.
Skip
0
Identical label copies
1
Number of label sets
1
Note: Make sure the quantity values are provided as the numeric value, not string value. Do not
enclose the value in the double quotes.
PRINTER
PRINTER
Normally, the PRINT command prints the label to the printer specified in the label file. Using this
command you can override this defined printer and print the label to some other printer.
If the printer name contains space characters, you have to enclose it in quotation marks.
