About the workflow<br />

If you are responsible for setting up batch labelling and you are starting<br />

from the beginning, you will need to follow the workflow in the<br />

following table.<br />

Some of the steps refer to topics in previous chapters.<br />

Before you start<br />

This workflow assumes that the VCode ® is completely installed and<br />

ready to use.<br />

Workflow<br />

Step Process See...<br />

1 Start PlateTag. “Starting PlateTag” on<br />

page 58<br />

2 Optionally change the locations of<br />

stored files.<br />

3 Optionally create a data source to<br />

specify the contents of the labels to be<br />

printed.<br />

Note: If you do not use a data source,<br />

you can specify the contents when<br />

defining a schema, using constants,<br />

counters and clones.<br />
