Occasionally, a label may feature more fields than can be displayed at one time on the On-Demand Print Form.  If this occurs, a scroll bar is displayed on the right hand edge of the On-Demand Print Form.  As you TAB through the On-Demand Print Form, the screen automatically scrolls to display the next data entry field.  When you TAB through the last (bottom) field, the screen scrolls back to the first (top) field, setting Quantity and Duplicate Copies.

·      When performing data entry prior to printing, Loftware Label Manager allows you to select the desired quantity of labels and duplicate copies.

·      The Quantity value specifies the number of labels you want to print.  The Duplicates value specifies how many duplicates you want of each label.  The following examples clarify the difference.

Assume a label has an incrementing numeric Serial Number attached to it (a counter).
The starting number for the following examples is 1.

Example 1

Set Quantity to 8 and Duplicates to 1

·      Eight total labels are printed.

·      The labels are sequentially numbered 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 and 8

Example 2

Set Quantity to 5 and Duplicates to 2

·      Ten total labels are printed.

·      There are five sets of two labels numbered 1, 1, 2, 2, 3, 3, 4, 4 and 5, 5.  There are 5 (Quantity) of labels with a duplicate of each.

Example 3

Set Quantity to 1 and Duplicates to 5

·      Five total labels are printed.

·      There are five identical (duplicate) labels produced, numbered 1, 1, 1, 1 and 1.

The total number of labels printed is always Quantity x Duplicates.

If your label does not have a Serial Number or an incrementing or decrementing counter field, changing either Quantity or Duplicates has the same effect.

Quantities and Duplicates Methods

In the On-Demand Print Application:

·      Click in the Quantity or Duplicates box, type in the new value, and press Enter.

·      Alternatively, enter the Quantity and Duplicates in the Print Label Reset dialog box if you use the File | Print menu command to print.  Default Quantity and Duplicates are also entered into this dialog box.
