STEP 4: Preparing Print Data
The method of preparing print data for [Variable Printing] is explained below. Variable Printing needs a CSV
le. You can create a CSV le using database les. For information on creating a CSV le, contact the admin-
istrator of databases.
What you print is [Text] or [2D Symbol]. "Data Matrix" or "QR code" is selectable as 2D symbol.
* You can create 2D symbol directly from METAZAStudio instead of a CSV le.
 P. 56, "Directly Creating 2D Symbol"
1. Create [Variable Field].

Start METAZAStudio.
 P. 22, "How to Start The Software"
The [Select Material] dialog box appears.
If METAZAStudio is running, click Image
.
The [Select Material] dialog box appears.

In the [Select Material] dialog box, select the
material of the instrument to be imprinted.
Uncheck the [Use printer driver settings] checkbox
to select a type of material. To use material that is not
included in the list, you can register the material.
 P. 59, "Registering a Composition and Adjusting the
Striking Force"
If you use the driver's setting without changing it,
check the [Use printer driver settings] checkbox.
What is Variable Printing?
In the [Variable Printing], you can replace a part of print data with new one for each sheet and print
each dierent object. When you use Variable Printing, you no longer need to create new data each
time when you load a small steel medical object. You can continue to print dierent data without
interruption.
What is [Variable Field]?
Variable eld is a frame in which you can place 2D symbol or text. In Variable Printing, data within the
variable eld is replaced with other one during printing.
