HTML Form Generator

Using Data Entry Forms

The form consists of the following elements:

S

The fields corresponding to the document variables currently
being processed;

S

The field corresponding to the number of pages to be prin-
ted;

S

The field corresponding to the number of copies of each page
to be printed;

S

The field corresponding to the number of copies in the batch
to be printed;

S

The list of printers. This list is initialized when the HTML page
is loaded, and includes all the your labeling software printers
(Windows or thermal transfer) connected to your PC;

S

The

Print

button.

To launch form printing:

1

Complete the data entry fields.

2

Click on

Print

.

The data is instantly transmitted to your labeling software, which
handles the document printing.

This mode allows you to delocalize document printing. You can
then launch document printing from any workstation on your
company’s intranet.

This is done by generating and saving all forms on your intranet
site. By simply connecting to the site, the forms can be relocated
to your workstation. The data, sent to your site’s backup folder,
is then intercepted by

Sentinel Print Pack

, which handles final

document printing.

Printing via the Internet requires a specific hardware configura-
tion. Since

HTML Form Generator

conforms to Microsoft

standards, your Internet/intranet server must be a Microsoft
Internet Information Server (MIIS), version 3.0 or higher.
However, forms can be accessed using Netscape Navigator as
well as Microsoft Internet Explorer.
This printing mode also requires

Sentinel Print Pack

to be

installed on the workstation acting as the Internet server.
