Multiple jobs
When printing multiple books with different text, it is suggested to use the multiple jobs +
variable functions.
•
Step 1: Create a text box and enter your text (example
“name”)
. This text will
be changed by your custom text in data file later. Please make sure the text
box is big enough to prevent incomplete or spilt text. We advise to make the
text box from side to side and align text in centre, if needed.
•
Step 2: Make the text box variable by selecting
Variable Text
tool from the
toolbar or right clicking with the mouse on the text box, then selecting the
variable checkbox appearing above the textbox and marking it for multiple
values.
•
Step 3: Save the design and then click on
Make Database
button in the
toolbar to create the TXT or CSV database file. The database will appear in a
new tab next to design window tab.
•
Step 4: You can edit the database file in the PC Tool software (go to step 5) or
another programme like Notepad or Excel. The database file will have the
same name as the design but with a different extension (can be found in the
same folder where your designs are saved). You can now edit the separate
file externally and save it under the same name and extension.
•
Step 5: Use multiple lines. Use a new line for each word. Or, if values are
entered externally and saved in another program (see step 4), you may
refresh the database to make sure everything is set correctly.
Example:
Name 1
Name 2
Name 3
….
•
Step 6: Go back to your design. Click on
Multiple Prints
at the top of
application. Select Print variable design with option all variables or select
specific variables like described in the window. Finally, click on
button
in the dialog box to start printing.
