On-Demand Printing
Entering Data
When you first load a label, the top left data entry field is selected - it contains a flashing cursor.Type
data into the selected field and edit the data using the cursor keys, backspace key, or standard copy, cut,
and paste operations. If your label is connected to a database, the cursor defaults to the field defined as
the Database-Key.A browse button (...) is also displayed when a label is connected to a database. See the
next section for more information on browsing in a database.
Entering RFID Data
If you are using On-Demand Print to print an RFID label, the procedure is much like an ordinary On-
Demand Print job, except that the data that you supply must be in a hex format.Only the numerals 0-9
and letters A-F are accepted in the ODP application.RFID data will normally be derived from other
fields or will be in a database.It is rare that you would actually type it in.
Setting Quantities and Duplicates
Occasionally, a label may feature more fields than can be displayed at one time on the On-Demand Print
Form.If this occurs, a scroll bar is displayed on the right hand edge of the On-Demand Print Form. As
you TAB through the On-Demand Print Form, the screen automatically scrolls to display the next data
entry field. When you TAB through the last (bottom) field, the screen scrolls back to the first (top) field,
setting Quantity and Duplicate Copies.
l When performing data entry prior to printing, Loftware Label Manager allows you to select the
desired quantity of labels and duplicate copies.
l The Quantity value specifies the number of labels you want to print.The Duplicates value
specifies how many duplicates you want of each label.The following examples clarify the
difference.
Assume a label has an incrementing numeric Serial Number attached to it (a counter).The starting
number for the following examples is 1.
Set Quantity to 8 and Duplicates to 1
Eight total labels are printed.
The labels are sequentially numbered 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 and 8
Set Quantity to 5 and Duplicates to 2
Ten total labels are printed.
There are five sets of two labels numbered 1, 1, 2, 2, 3, 3, 4, 4 and 5, 5. There are 5 (Quantity) of labels with a
duplicate of each.
Set Quantity to 1 and Duplicates to 5
Five total labels are printed.
There are five identical (duplicate) labels produced, numbered 1, 1, 1, 1 and 1.
