Working with Variable Data

Dynamic Data Overview

Youmaywanttoprintlabelsonwhichthedatachangesforeachlabel,forexample,counter,serial

numbers,dateandtime.Toaccommodatethechangingdata,theapplicationcaneasilybeusedtofor-

matlabelsusingthevariablefields.Variablefieldcanbeusedwithtextandgraphicsobjects.

Thereareseveraltypesofvariablesyoucanchoosetobestsuityourneeds.Data,whichmustbe

printedasavariable,ispreparedatthetimeofprinting.Itcanbeenteredintheprogramfromdif-

ferentways:

l bytheoperatorfromthekeyboard

l automaticallyfromthecomputer’sclock(dateandtime)

l automaticallyfromthelabeldesign(usingcounterswithpredefinedstartingvaluesand

steps)

l databasecanbeusedtoprovidedataforthefields

Thevariabledatacanbethesameformanylabelsand/orspecificforonelabelonly.

Working with Databases

Thelabelingsoftwareallowsyoutousedatabases,inwhichyourdataisstored.Databasetypecan

be:

1. ASCII(textfile)wherefieldsarefixed-lengthorareseparatedwithanyselectedchar-

acter.

2. MicrosoftExceldatabase.

Youcanuseasingledatabaseonthesamelabel.

Databaseisveryusefulwhenprintinglabelswithalargequantityofdifferentdataandvariable

values.Youdon'thavetoentervaluesforeveryvariablebeforelabelproductionanymore,youcan

usepreviouslyprepareddatabaseinstead.DatabaseintheASCIItextfilecanbecreatedinanytext
