Downloading Methods
You can download the format and batch data using one of three methods:
sequential, batch, and batch quantity zero.
Sequential Method
Using the sequential method, you send all your format and batch data at
one time. Use this method when your application does not require operator
intervention to input data. All data is sent down at one time, and the printer
then images each field. As soon as the last field is imaged, your labels
begin to print.
Example
{Format}
{Batch Packet}
Batch Method
This is similar to the sequential method, but it is used when you want to
send multiple batches. All data for the first batch is sent at one time, and
the printer then images each field. As soon as the last field for the first
batch is imaged, labels begin to print. This process is repeated for each
subsequent batch.
Example
{Format}
{Batch Packet}
{Batch Packet}
Batch Quantity Zero Method
You may use the batch quantity zero method when your application requires
operator intervention to enter data. While the operator is entering data, the
previous field is sent with a batch quantity of zero. The printer images the
field, but does not print it. After the operator enters the data for the last
field, the batch quantity can be specified. The last remaining field is
imaged, and the label prints almost immediately.
