Avery Dennison ADTP1 - Defining the Batch Control Field

6-4 Packet Reference Manual
Defining the Batch Control Field
The batch header must precede this field. The batch control field defines the print job and applies
only to the batch that immediately follows.
The batch control field overrides the settings made at the printer. For example, the printer’s
cut mode is set to disabled; however, the batch control field specifies to cut each tag, so each
tag in the batch is cut.
The batch control field also overrides settings made in the online configuration packets.
For example, the Supply Setup Packet is set for liner take-up mode; however, the batch control
field specifies continuous mode, so continuous mode is used for the batch.
