Automatic Label Printing in 3 Easy Steps
In just a few easy steps, the user can configure the Command
File Interpreter to watch a folder for command files, have them
analyzed, and automatically print labels based on the data within
those files.
Step 1: Design a label
Create a label design using your label design software to
be used with the Command File Interpreter.
Step 2: Generate a command file
You must generate a command file for the label design.
Below, you will find an example of a command file for a
label. The label variables are shown in red and the
variables specific to the command file are displayed in
green. The printers designated in the Printer variable are
those associated with the Command File Interpreter.
Command file for a sample label:
LABELNAME
= "Palette.Lab"
SSCC
= "133333312345678906"
Content
= "5412345678908"
Batch
= "4512XA"
BestBefore
= "01.01.2010"
Quantity
= "47"
PRINTER
= "Production1"
LABELQUANTITY
= "1"
The command file recognizes the label fields and assigns
the appropriate values to them. You can therefore repeat
the variables of a label several times to print each label
with different field content.
Step 3: Launch the Command File Interpreter
Your command file is ready. Now, launch the Command
File Interpreter to process the command files and print
your labels.
