Creating a print job<br />
Introduction<br />
This topic defines print jobs, and describes how to create, save and<br />
open them.<br />
About print jobs<br />
A print job sets which schemas will be used to label which sides of the<br />
plate during a batch run. As each schema defines the labels printed on<br />
one side, you can print different labels on different sides of the plate.<br />
You can label more than one type of plate in a print job, even if they<br />
have different heights. However, if they do have heights that require<br />
different drop stage positions, you will need to use a data source in the<br />
schema. The data source will control the drop stage parameter during<br />
the print job.<br />
Before you start<br />
Before defining a print job, you must have:<br />
❑ Created one or more schemas<br />
❑ Created the label format for the print job<br />
❑ Started PlateTag<br />
Creating a print job<br />
To create a print job:<br />
1. In PlateTag, navigate to Jobs > New.<br />
Any existing schemas listed in the Data Schema Selection table are<br />
cleared.<br />
2. In the Device Selection group box, select the profile for the VCode<br />
that you want to use to do the printing.
