Appendix C. Automated Print<br />

Control<br />

Using Automated Print Control<br />

Legi supports two automated methods for printing and manipulating<br />

labels:<br />

� Batch Print Control allows you to control printing activity via<br />

commands stored in a file.<br />

� Application Designer allows you to develop customized labeling<br />

applications, including specialized user interfaces, data<br />

manipulation, and programmatic logic control.<br />

Batch Print Control and Application Designer both require an input<br />

file called a script file. The script file is an ASCII file containing print<br />

job parameters required by Legi. The script file may contain such<br />

parameters as the label name, the port to print to, and identical and<br />

serial counts.<br />

To execute a script file, you run the LEGI32.EXE file, specifying the<br />

script filename in the command line:<br />

legi32/batch filename<br />

where filename is the name and full path of the script file.<br />

Note: When you pass a label format or print job as the filename<br />

parameter, that format or job will be printed. This is a useful practice<br />

when the label data or number of labels to print does not change, and<br />

when the label data comes from database tables and label expressions.<br />
