Frequency |
The frequency of a data entry control specifies how often the data entry form will prompt the user for input. The form will appear when required by any of its controls.
Frequency is set on the Data Entry property page for a specified data entry control. Options for the Frequency property include the following:
Once at Start of Print Job: Displays the data entry form once at the start of a print job. The data entered at that time will print on every item.
Every Record: The data entry form is displayed each time a new item is printed, allowing different information to be printed on each item. When the data entry control is linked to a data source with a database field selected as its data source type, Every Record is the only available setting.
Every Serial Number: Displays the data entry form each time the serial number changes. If no items are serialized, the behavior is the same as Once at Start of Print Job. Disables the printer's built-in serialization optimizations and generates each label separately.
Every Copy: When a document includes more than one template (that is, a set of templates), the data entry form is displayed at the start of each set. Disables the printer's built-in copy or serialization optimizations and generates each label separately.
Every Page: Displays the data entry form for each printed page, allowing multiple items printed on the same page to print with the same data. When printing only one item on each page, the behavior is the same as Every Copy.
