How To Have Two 4"x6" Labels In One Label File?
Hi!
The company I work for has been using Bartender since the late 90's with Intermec 3400 series printers, and we just upgraded to 10.10 Automation along with a new Intermec PM43 printer that we're trying out before deploying mill-wide.
The custom software that we run permits the use of one label.BTW file format at a time, although we have a customer that needs two labels with different formats for each product. Historically we got around this by making a 4" x 12" label in Bartender and carefully placed the two label formats on this single "larger" label so that when it printed the two 4"x6" label designs they would be printed just right on either side of the label gap.
Unfortunately this doesn't work with the fancy new Intermec printer we have - it's too smart. The printer will spit out the first label and then stop on the gap discarding the rest of the data. I attempted to change the printer settings to print by a fixed length but the second portion of the label is still skipped and the printer gets lost concerning where the labels start/stop.
Is there a way to define two 4" x 6" labels in a single .BTW file?
Thanks,
- Nick

You can have more than one template per label document. In 10.1 you can even specify that the additional template only prints when customer number = X or whatever condition you want.
Just right click on the bottom of the label where it says "Template 1" (unless you renamed it) and "Data Entry Form" and you can insert a new template and set a condition on it.
