The counter’s name (variable name) is then referenced by the schema. Summary diagram and description Diagram The following diagram summarizes these concepts and shows the flow of information from variables to schemas, to a print job and finally to bar code labels. Schema one Attribute Data type Variable name field 1 CSV Column1 Print Job N E S W Print job defines: • Compiles schemas • Initiates print job Schema one Schema one Schema two field 2 CSV Column2 field 3 field 4 Constants Lab Name field 5 Counters My Counter field 6 Label format Constants Label format 3 Drop stage 1 Constants Drop stage top MyCounter Counter Value Base Initial Value Increment Interval 0001 36 test 1 1 Schema two Attribute Data type Variable name Date field 1 Counters My Counter field 2 Constants Date field 3 Excel Field3 field 4 Excel Field4 field 5 field 6 Label format Constants Label format 4 Drop stage 1 Constants Drop stage top Constant Value Sept.06 Schema defines: • Bar code field contents • Label format • Vertical stage position Description The diagram shows how the content is determined for both of the following: ❑ Field 5 of the label printed on the north side of the plate ❑ Field 2 of the label printed on the south side of the plate The Print Job box on the left shows that labels printed on the north and east sides of the plate are determined by Schema one and that labels printed on the south side of the plate are determined by Schema two. In the Schema one box, you can see that field 5 has been given the variable name “My Counter”. The variable “My Counter” is defined as: ❑ Starting at 0001 (Counter Value) Note: This is a simple counter with no prefix or suffix. ❑ Incremented by one each label (Increment) ❑ Prefixed by the word “test” (Initial Value) ❑ Incremented after the first plate (Interval) ❑ Incremented with the alphanumeric series 1–Z (Base)
Chapter 6: Running a print job VCode User Guide 113 The bar code labels will therefore read test0001, test0002, test0003, and so on. The Schema one box also shows that the label uses label format 3. You could examine label format 3 in the label editor of VCode Diagnostics to see which fields are text fields and which field is a bar code field. The plate stage will be at the top position when these labels are printed as the Drop stage position has the value Drop stage top. In the Schema two box, you can see that field 2 is a constant that has been given the variable name Date. The value of the constant is “Sept.06.” The Schema two box also shows that the label uses label format 4. The plate stage will be at the top position when the labels defined by schema two are printed as the Drop stage position has the value Drop stage top. Note: The plate stage position should be the same for all schemas in a print job because the position is dependent on the height of the plate, which is the same for all sides. Label format and schema fields It is important to understand the relationship between label format fields and schema fields. For a field to be printed on a label, it must be defined in both the schema and the bar code label format. Suppose, for example, that in a schema you have specified label format 4 and defined fields 1, 2, 3 and 4. If label format 4 has fields 1, 2, 3 and 4 defined in it, all four fields will print on the label. However, if label format 4 only has fields 1, 2 and 3 defined in it, only these first three fields will be printed. PlateTag will not issue an error message if there is a discrepancy between the number of fields in your label format and the number of fields in your schema.
