You cannot change the printer (PRINTER command) within a session
l
You must set values for all variables from the label within a session, even if some of the
variables will have empty values
l
When you test the JOB files that use session printing, the command File -> Command
Files -> Print Preview does not work
SET
SET name=variable_value, [,step[, quantity_of_repetition]]
Name is the name of the variable defined on the label. If the variable isn't on the label, an error will
occur. Step and Quantity_of_repetition are option parameter. These parameters tell the increment
of the variable and the number of the labels before change.
If Variable_value contains space characters or commas, you have to enclose the text in the text qual-
ifier marks. By default the text qualifier is a double quote character, but you can use any other char-
acter (refer to the command TEXTQUALIFIER).
If you want to assign multi-line value to a variable, use the syntax "\r\n" to encode newline char-
acter. "\r" is replaced with CR (Carriage Return) and "\n" is replaced with LF (Line Feed). Both,
CR and LF, represent newline character in Windows operating system.
Note: Be careful when setting values to variables that provide data for pictures on the label, as back-
slash characters might be replaced with some other characters.
For example, if you assign a value "c:\My Pictures\raw.jpg" to the variable, the "\r" will be replaced
with CR character and the final result is this:
c:\My Pictures
aw.jpg
Note: You cannot use the command SET to set the value to the variable of the type Global. Values
of global variables cannot be set from outside of the label designer.
SETDATABASE
SETDATABASE =
database_name The name of the currently used database as defined in the program.
value The name of the new table that should be used as data source.
This command allows you to use some other database with the label file and not the one, that was
connected to the label file at design time.
This other database will only be used when printing labels, the label file will remain intact with con-
nection to the original database.
SETPRINTPARAM
SETPRINTPARAM paramname=value
This command allows you to set advanced print parameters before printing.
Currently supported PARAMNAMES are:
PAPERBIN Use it to specify from which tray the paper
