Printing one label from the Testing page
Introduction
This topic describes how to print a single label from the Testing page of
VCode Diagnostics.
Procedure
To print one label from the Testing tab:
1. Open VCode Diagnostics.
2. If the label format that you want to print is not currently loaded into
memory, load it from either the printer or file.
3. Click the Testing tab.
4. In the Format list box, select the format currently contained in the
printer that you want to use for this test.
5. In one of the fields of the Label Data group box, type the text that
you want to appear on the label in that field position.
The following example shows the text “Test Label” printed in Field 2.
Note: Only the fields defined in the label format can be edited.
Fields that are defined in the label format as bar code fields will be
encoded into a bar code before printing.
Note: Field data entered into VCode Diagnostics is temporarily
stored in the computer and not the printer, so it can only be used
for testing purposes.
6. In the Testing Options group box, select Print only.
7. Set the value in the Number of cycles list box to 1.
8. Click Run test or press the green button.
The label is printed.
