A batch header begins the file. It tells which format the batch
uses and how many labels to print. To record batch data, make a
copy of the worksheet in Appendix D, "Format Design Tools."
A batch packet contains three parts:
batch header identifies the format and how many labels to
print.
batch control defines the print job.
batch data
(optional) defines the actual information printed on the
label.
Syntax
{B,format#,N/U,quantity
p
B1. B Batch Header.
B2. format# Format number: 0-999 to use.
B3. N/U Controls how image is generated.
N New. Erase image and re-image all fields using
online data. Any missing fields will be blank.
U Update last image with 1 or more fields.
All other fields remain the same as the last
queued batch.
B4. quantity Quantity to print ( 0-32000 ).
NOTE: Using 0 pre-images the field to reduce the imaging
time for labels. See "Batch Quantity Zero Method"
for more information.
Example
