Batch Printing

AnyLabels can print batches of labels through the use of the Batch Printer. The Batch Printer is started by selecting Batch Print from the File menu, and displays a window containing a list of the available records and the current batch of records and number of copies of each record required.

A record may be added to the batch list by entering the number of copies required in the No of copies box and then selecting the required record from the Record list and pushing the Add item button (or double-clicking on the record in the Record list). Similarly an item can be deleted from the batch list by selecting the item and then pushing the Remove item button.

The number of copies of a record in the batch list may be modified by selecting the item in the batch list, changing the value in the No of copies box, and then pushing the Update item button.

Batch lists may be saved for future use by selecting Save Batch from the File menu, and previously saved batch lists may be opened by selecting Open Batch from the File menu. When a batch file has been opened its name is displayed in the Batch name box.

A Batch printing operation using the current batch list may be started by either pushing the Print Batch button or selecting Print Batch from the File menu. In normal use the Print Dialog is not displayed during a batch printing operation, but may be displayed for information purposes by checking the Show Print Dialog chekbox before initiating printing. Changing record-related items in the Print Dialog prior to a batch print is likely to cause unexpected results!

The Batch Printer may be closed by selecting Close on the File Menu.
