4.4.1.8. Linking File Names with Parameter-Block Names
Certain print parameters need to be set during printing (see section
4.4.3.5 Print
Parameters
). When you change the text to be printed (e.g. as the line of products to be
labelled changes), the parameters need to be adjusted accordingly. Therefore it would be
advisable to have a tool that might enable you to do the following:
Store print parameters for a given text file,
Link the parameters stored with the text file to be printed,
Set all parameters for the text file automatically just before the printing, after the print
command has been selected.
A solution to meet the above requirements is offered by EBS printers. Every text file (that is
stored in the library) can be linked with a parameter block and such a pair can be stored in the
file library. To do this, follow the procedure below:
In the main MENU select the TEXT SERVICE item and then the LINK PARAMETERS item.
The display shows the text file library from which you should select a text file name (see also
section
4.4.1.1 General Information on Text Files
). Then the parameter block library is
displayed, from which you should select a parameter block name.
