Chapter 6: Running a print job<br />

VCode <strong>User</strong> <strong>Guide</strong><br />

4. Add the name of the clone to the schema that will be used to print<br />

the new label:<br />

a. Click in the Data type column for the field that you are cloning.<br />

b. Click a second time to open a list box and select Clones.<br />

c. In the adjacent Variable name field, select the variable that you<br />

named above.<br />

5. Click Update Schema to save the changes.<br />

You cannot clone<br />

text fields<br />

You can only clone bar codes. This is because text fields cannot be read<br />

by the bar code reader.<br />

If you want the label that contains the cloned bar code to also have text<br />

fields that match those on the label from which the clone was created,<br />

you will need to set up the schema to replicate those fields, using<br />

constants and counters.<br />

You cannot clone a<br />

field in the same job<br />

You can only clone a bar code that is on the plate before the print job<br />

begins. If your goal is to use a single print job to first print a label and<br />

then clone its bar code, it is unlikely to work. This is because you cannot<br />

control the order in which the sides of the plate are labelled. If you<br />

attempt to so this, when the cloning operation begins, there may not yet<br />

be a label on the side that you want to clone from.<br />
