Print Order

I'm using a spreadsheet in excel as my database connection.  Here is an example of labels listed:

 

A

B

C

D

 

If I need two sets of labels it currently prints like this:

A

A

B

B

C

C

D

D

 

I've looked all over in the settings and can't figure out how to get it to print like this:

A

B

C

D

A

B

C

D

 

 

Thanks!

  Hello, 

   

  It is indeed not yet possible to print in that order directly from BarTender. However, you can create a batch file in Batch Maker to print twice the same file with the same records and 1 copy each. It will print once ABCD and then another time ABCD. 

   

  Here is some help on how to use Batch Maker: http://www.seagullscientific.com/label-software/whitepapers/batch-maker-201406.pdf

  Is it possible to prompt the user to input the batch repeat count?

  I'm afraid not, a batch file contains fixed data (note that a batch file is basically an BarTender formatted XML file) and can only be modified directly from Batch Maker.

   

  Another possibility would be to automate BarTender from you own application that offers such a prompt. This way you could customize the XML file before running it through BarTender.

   

  For the above functionality you would need the Enterprise Automation edition.
