Dynamic Printer
At present we are using printer for labels by assigning printer to the task in command, system printer
I'm wondering if we can use dynamic printer by sending some sort of printer information in label data.
Is it possible?

Yes this is possible providing you have the Automation edition or above.
I presume you're using Commander as an integration tool? If so then you should use Commander Script in the contents of your trigger and specify the print you wish to use with the following command: /PRN="<PrinterName>"
If you're using the the Enterprise Automation edition then this can be done in BarTender XML script (BTXML).
I suggest you take a look at the below white paper and the BarTender Help system for more information.

Yes we are using Commander at present and assigned printer to a task.
I'm wondering if we can achieve the printer in data file instead of configuring thru task of a commander.0 -
You can use Commander script in the trigger file along with the delimited data. Did you not take a look at the white paper which gives an example of Commander script? Note in the below example that the Commander script commands proceed the label data. The /R and /DbTextHeader tell BarTender where that data and record header information starts.
Example:
%BTW% /AF="C:\Labels\Product1.btw" /PRN="LaserPrinter1" /D="%Trigger File Name%" /R=3 /DbTextHeader=3 /P
%END%

The Dynamic Printer Matrix is one of the two Auto Connect pattern tables, which lets you specify exactly which printers should be mapped or to which templates they should be connected. 0
