About Batch Packets (Print Jobs)
A batch packet containing batch data is required for all print jobs.
Batch data is the actual information printed on the supply. Batch data fills in the format’s text, bar
code, and non-printable text fields.
A batch packet consists of the following:
batch header
identifies the format and how many labels to
print.
For example:
{B,1,N,1|
batch control
defines the print job. For example: For example:
E,0,1,1,1,3,0,0,0,1|
batch data
(optional)
defines the information printed on the label. For example:
1,”Size 5” | }
Label Design software may create this packet for you.
To record batch data, make a copy of the worksheet in Appendix D, “Format Design Tools.”
Defining the Batch Header
The batch header specifies which format the batch uses and how many labels to print.
Syntax {B,format#,N/U,quantity |
B1. B Batch Header.
B2. format# Format number (1 to 999) to use. 1 is the default.
B3. N/U Controls how image is generated. N is the default.
N New. Erase image and re-image all fields using online data. Any
missing fields will be blank.
U Update last image with one or more fields. All other fields remain
the same as the last queued batch.
B4. quantity Quantity to print (0 to 32000). 1 is the default. Using 0 pre-images
the field to reduce the imaging time for labels. See “Batch Quantity
Zero Method” for more information.
Example {B,1,N,1 |
Defines a batch header that uses format #1 and reimages all fields using the online data. One
label is printed with this batch.
