Batch Met hod
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.

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. To use the
batch quantity zero method:
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.
