22 Chapter 2: VCode orientation VCode User Guide The different ways to label plates Introduction This topic explains the different ways to label plates. If you are new to the VCode and are not sure where to start, this topic will help to orient you. You can: ❑ Test print and apply one label ❑ Test print and apply a batch of labels ❑ Print and apply a batch of labels in a production run Test printing one label After setting up the VCode, or when you are trying to solve a printing problem, you can perform a test print of a single label and optionally apply it to a plate from the Testing page of VCode Diagnostics. When you are designing a label, you can test-print a single label from the Label Editor page of VCode Diagnostics. Test printing a batch of labels You can perform a test print of a batch of labels, and optionally apply them to one or more sides of a batch of plates. This test printing is also performed from the Testing page of VCode Diagnostics. As this is a simple testing procedure, every label printed will be the same. You will also have to manually place the plates on the plate stage as the labels are printed. Production labelling of a batch of plates For production labelling of a batch of plates you can either place plates onto the VCode manually or use a robot. Manual production labelling With manual production labelling, you place a plate on the plate stage, press the green button, wait for the plate to be labelled, remove it and then repeat the cycle. For manual production labelling you create a label format that specifies the labels that you want to use. The label format may reference an external data source, such as a spreadsheet, that includes the data to print in each field. You must also set up a print job in PlateTag that combines the data from the data source with formatting information that you provide and directs the printing and applying operations. Automated production labelling Automated production labelling requires a lab automation system that uses a robot to move plates to and from the VCode’s plate stage. Robotic systems control the VCode with their own software. This software may be able to open VCode Diagnostics, allowing you to control basic VCode operations directly. If you are using a BioCel or BenchCel to label plates you have more complex options for the labelling protocol. For example, using the FileReader plug-in you can print two fields that use different input data
