For example, batch 1 below prints a date in text field T01.
Since batch 1 and batch 2 are printed on the same day, batch
2 can leave out field T01. Since T01 was defined in the
preceding batch, it will automatically print in batch 2.
Batch 1: Batch 2:
{ B12,1,0,1,1,0,C; { B12,1,0,1,1,0,C;
T01;12/31/90 T02;Stock #52014
T02;Stock #43768 T03;Sprinkler
T03;100’ Hose }
}
NOTE: If two fields overlap, do NOT use this feature. If fields
overlap, you must send the format before each batch.
Batch Separators
This command selects the use of batch separators. A batch
separator is a tag with a wide black line across the top or a
double length tag and is last tag in a batch. Your
Operator’s
Handbook
shows the type of batch separator used by your
printer.
NOTE: When printing online, add 1 to your batch quantity.
The batch separator does not add a tag to the total
number of tags in a batch. (In offline operation a
batch separator increases the batch count by one
tag.)
The command structure is shown below, followed by an
example.
NOTE: If using this batch separator packet, make sure the
batch header "MODE" value is set to C.
