Serial Number Using Time And Date

Bartender version 10.1 (SR3) Automation.

 

For ease of tracking, we would like to implement a serial number that has the following layout.

 

JJJHHMMSS

JJJ  = 3 digit Julian

HH  = 2 digit 24 hour

MM = 2 digit minute

SS  = 2 digit second

 

We have this working just fine if we print 1 label.

There is a text input box that we have setup to allow for operator determined serialized printing. They enter the quantity of labels to print.

A "test" embedded data field (set with serialzation), updates correctly.

However, the time and date data fields do not update. They use the date and time when the print actually started.

 

Have looked at the various Event Control Scripts and Transforms (Serialization) built into Bartender, but have not found a solution.

Is this something we are going to have to use VB to accomplish?

  I believe your issue is that BarTender is using the system clock at the moment the print job job is created and it uses that value for all the labels in that job.  There is an option in the properties of a date field that allows you to use the printer clock.  Give that a go.
