1. Send the format and a batch header in one file. The first time
you send the batch header, use the parameter N (new batch),
and the parameter 0 for (zero quantity). This ensures the
label is properly positioned.
The printer images constant text, line, and box fields, but
does not print them.
2. Input data for each field, and send it with a batch header
using the parameter U (batch update) and a quantity of zero.
When the printer receives the data, it immediately images the
field, but does not print it.
At this time, the printer is imaging all associated fields,
including fields that copy from other fields.
3. Repeat step 2 for each field except the last one.
4. For the last field, input data and send a batch header with the
quantity of labels you want printed. When the printer receives
input for the last field, it immediately prints the labels. See
"Reducing Imaging Time" in Chapter 10 for an example using
the batch quantity zero method.
Modifying Formats
The optional entry method is a quick way to modify your format
fields, check digit fields, and configuration packets.
Optional Entry Method
This method enables you to reset only the parameters you want to
change. Commas act as placeholders for unchanged parameters.
The optional entry method reduces file size and increases the
speed at which files are sent to the printer.
