Design the Label

Label Example

This practice exercise is designed to provide experience in creating and

processing labels of all kinds. The label includes:

• horizontal duplication

• alphanumeric data

• horizontal and vertical lines

• dynamic data fields

• boxes

• bar codes

Design the Label

As in the form example, all data for the labels is entered into a file on the host

computer. Use your standard system commands to open the file and print the

file as needed. Also, the same Enter/Format explanations are provided in this

example. You enter the data listed under Enter; the general command format

is listed under Format

Always use the actual SFCC required by your system

wherever the ^ is shown in the examples or where the (cc) is shown in the

general format. Do not forget to properly terminate each command line. Make

sure the printer power is on, and the printer is ready, and on line.

The labels for this exercise are shown in Figure 33, complete with all label

elements and data. One label is actually created by the Code V commands

and then duplicated horizontally on the page. When the first set of dynamic

data is supplied, it is inserted in the label and in the duplicate. The second set

of dynamic data is inserted in a second label and duplicate. This process

could be continued to produce any number of labels.
