Storing and Retrieving a Print List
inserted, the labels will be printed. (Note: On slower computers, the
first label may take a while to print. Be patient before assuming
something is wrong.)
CAUTION: The labels printed will be of the type currently selected on
the "Form" menu (i.e., the default type unless another has been selected
in the current session). Since the label type and print list are
independent of each other, use caution and select carefully before
printing.
7) If you need to stop a print job, press to signal MUSE to stop
sending data to the printer at the end of the current label.
8) Choose "Clear" from the "Labels" menu to provide a new, blank list
as the current print list, visible when you next choose "Edit" and ready
for you to enter numbers for another batch of labels.
Two more features, storing and retrieving print lists, provide additional
convenience in printing labels:
Choose "Store" from the "Labels" menu to save to disk the current
print list when you have need to retrieve the list for use in later sessions.
You will be prompted to enter a List Name the first time you store the
list. Later, when you retrieve and again store a print list, it
automatically will be stored under the same name.
For multiple-Catalog Number labels (such as tank or box labels) where
new specimens may be added to the label, storing a print list is
especially useful. The ease of retrieving the list, adding new Catalog
Numbers, printing a new label, and re-storing the list greatly facilitates
the label-printing process.
Choose "Retrieve" from the "Labels" menu to get a stored list from
disk and make it the current print list. You will be presented with a
menu providing several ways to retrieve a list:
Choose "List Name" if you know the name.
Choose "Catalog Number" if you know any Catalog Number
contained in the list.
Choose "Loan Number" if you want a print list consisting of
the Catalog Numbers on a particular loan.
Depending on your choice, you will be prompted to enter a List Name,
a Catalog Number, or a Loan Number. Type in your response.
If you choose "Catalog Number" and MUSE finds that the number you
enter is present on more than one stored list, a menu of list names)those
lists containing your catalog number)will appear. Choose the
appropriate name.
You may add to or modify a retrieved print list by choosing "Edit", as
usual, from the "Labels" menu.
You cannot store a print list with a list name already used unless you
