DashPrint: Box labels \ incrementing numbers

DashPrint can print Box labels with incrementing numbers.

 

This is the way it works.

If the customer wants Box X of Y on the label for EACH ITEM [explained in "example"  below], then use these subs.

$BOX$ = incrementing number.

$BOX_TOTAL$ = Equal to the number of labels being printed.

Place them on the label like this:

Box# $BOX$ of $BOX_TOTAL$

NEXT, during printing

Below you can see the "Number of LABELS" has been changed to "Number of BOXES".

 

(Added LJT, 09/20/20).  no SUBs needed (no creation of SUBs), just make the field using "Add Object" then manually type - 

on a label and the default print window shown below automatically changes to above "Number of Boxes:"

Note - the printed method CANNOT be set to "1" else -

but if you prompt and print 1 then -

 

 

The ITEM that you are printing boxes for is shown below the Number of BOXES prompt.

IMPORTANT: if multiple items are printed the box numbers start at 1 for every item.

Example:

FIRST Item 6655, quantity to print 4

Label 1 has Item 6655, 1 of 4

Label 2 has Item 6655, 2 of 4

Label 3 has Item 6655 ,3 of 4

Label 4 has  Item 6655 ,4 of 4

SECOND Item 1001-HON-H252, quantity to print 2

Label 1 has Item 1001-HON-H252, 1 of 2

Label 2 has Item 1001-HON-H252, 2 of 2

 

IT IS IMPORTANT TO NOTE: if $BOX_TOTAL$ is NOT included then this programming will NOT work.
