Other Batch printing facilities
There are two additional ways of creating a Batch list.
1. The Batch list may be created by using a field in the data source to specify the number of copies to be printed of any specific item – just select the field that contains this number from the drop-down listbox labelled Quantity field. If the field is blank or contains a value less than 1 then it is not included in the list.
2. A text file containing the quantity and the data used for selection may be imported using the Import list item of the Batch Printer’s File menu. Note that the database field that will be used for selecting the records must be selected before attempting to import a list. The list file must be a text file which lists one record per line, with the quantity as the first item, followed by a space, tab or comma, followed by the unique data string used to identify the record, e.g
4 Louise Jones
2 Carol Brown
Or
4,Louise Jones
2,Carol Brown
