Merging Labels To The Printer |
The information in this document applies to:
WordPerfect® 5.1 for DOS
Problem
Solutions: Some users would like to print labels as they merge. It is impossible to have sheet labels print one label at a time. However, it is possible to create a merge file, using the {PAGE ON} and {PAGE OFF} commands, that will print the labels one page at a time. Below is an example of how a primary file would look with these commands. It is necessary to know the amount of labels per sheet for this file. This figure should be placed where the number sign (#) appears in the commands. The primary file will print a full page of labels as they merge. {IF}{VARIABLE}1~=0~{PAGE ON}{END IF}{FIELD}1~ {FIELD}2~ {FIELD}3~{ASSIGN}1~{VARIABLE}1~+1~{IF}{VARIABLE}1~=#~{PRINT}{COMMENT} ~{PAGE OFF}{ASSIGN}1~0~{END IF} Customers may also use the following primary file (as seen in Reveal Codes) to merge labels directly to the printer. These codes should not be placed in Document Initial Codes: [Paper Sz/Typ][Mrg:ON ERROR][Mrg:GO]end~~[Mrg:FOR]1~1~#~1~ [Mrg:FIELD]1~[HPg][Mrg:NEXT RECORD][Mrg:END FOR] [Mrg:PAGE OFF][Mrg:PRINT][Mrg:NEST PRIMARY]labels.pri~ [Mrg:LABEL]end~[Mrg:PAGE OFF][Mrg:PRINT][Mrg:QUIT] The number/pound sign (#) in the [Mrg:FOR] statement is actually the number of labels per page, e.g., if 30 per sheet, #=30. The nested primary is the same as the original primary file name. Note: Each time the {PRINT} command is used when merging labels, a new paper size needs to be sent to the printer. Therefore, if a customer uses {PAGE OFF}{PRINT} when merging labels without a Paper Size/Type, only one label will print per page. |
