Printing 6-3
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.
Syntax E,feed_mode,batch_sep,print_mult,multi_part,cut_type,
cut_mult,ver_mode,cable_det,img_rot |
E1. E Batch Control Field.
E2. feed_mode Feed Mode. 0 is the default. Options:
0 Continuous Feed
1 On-Demand
2 Liner take-up (optional)
Note: For ease of tearing, use 3-inch long by 1-inch wide supplies that are less
than 5 mils thick. For peel mode, the minimum supply length is 1.50
inches.
E3. batch_sep Batch Separator (striped label in between batches). 0 is the default.
Options:
0 Does not print a separator (default)
1 Prints a separator
Note: Do not use batch separators with continuous (non-indexed) supply.
E4. print_mult Number of tags (1 to 999) with the same image. 1 is the default.
E5. multi_part Number of identical parts on one tag (1 to 5). 1 is the default.
E6. cut_type Enables or disables the knife. 0 (does not cut) is the default. Options:
0 Does not cut
3 Cuts every tag.
5 Cuts in strips, not each tag.
Description of cut mode operation:

0 No No No
3 Yes Yes Yes
Yes No (Feeds strips)
Yes
E7. cut_mult Number of tags to print before cutting. A cut multiple of one cuts after
each tag. The range is 0 to 32,000. 0 is the default. The cut multiple
is a multiple of the print quantity. If the cut multiple is three and the
print quantity is 16, then five sets of three tags and one set of one tag
is produced.
E8. ver_mode Verifier mode. Use 0.
E9. cable_det Verifier cable detect. Use 0.
E10. img_rot Image rotation. Rotates the printed image 180°. 0 is the default. We
recommend designing your formats as needed, so image rotation is not
required. Options:
0 No rotation
1 180° rotation
Note: The format length and width must exactly match the loaded supply or the
rotated image does not print correctly.
Example E,0,1,4,2,3,0,0,0,0 |
Defines a batch control field. Continuous feed mode is used and a separator prints between
batches. Four tags have the same image and there are two identical parts on one tag. The knife
cuts after every tag. The image is not rotated.
