Printing More Than One Copy Of A Label

Legacy Poster

Hi,

 

We have a third party application that interfaces with Bartender via the SDK. We are getting all the information sent across correctly, but the number of copies of a label to be printed does not seem to be honoured. We only ever get one label printed even if we send three to be printed.

 

I am told that this is being controlled by the Duplicates setting in the print job.

 

What if anything do I need to change in Bartender or the label setup to get multiple labels to print.

 

Thanks,

Royce

  The number of identical copies can be set as a property of the document before printing.  You could try opening the label in BarTender manually, change the print setting, save the label and try again via you app , printing based on the default value stored in the document.

  Hi,

   

  The Duplicates value is being sent from the third party app and can vary for each job. So I can't hard code it in the template.

  yes,

   

  I am having the same issue. can we not set barcode print qty per job via a substring ?

   

  IE 
  btFormat.SubStrings["barcodeQty"].Value = barcodeQty.ToString();

  You need to set the value from a script within the data source itself.  You will not be able to set the value from an external script as you can only get from such an external expression.

  Therefore, from a script in the data source you wish to set itself, you'd write something like either of the two expressions:

  value = "8765432"

  or

  value = Format.NamedSubStrings("ExampleNumber").Value
