Frequency |
The frequency of a data entry control specifies how often the data entry form prompts the user for input. The form appears when it is required by any of its controls.
You can configure the frequency on the Data Entry property page for a specified data entry control. The following options are available:
Once at Start of Print Job: Specifies that the data entry form is displayed one time at the start of a print job. The data that is entered at that time is printed on every item.
Every Record: Specifies that the data entry form is displayed each time that a new item is printed. When you select this option, different information can be printed on each item. When the data entry control is linked to a data source that uses a database field as its data source type, Every Record is the only available setting.
Every Serial Number: Specifies that the data entry form is displayed each time the serial number changes. If no items are serialized, the behavior is the same as for the Once at Start of Print Job option. This option turns off the printer's built-in serialization optimizations and generates each label separately.
Every Copy: Specifies that when a document includes more than one template, the data entry form is displayed at the start of each set of templates. This option turns off the printer's built-in copy or serialization optimizations and generates each label separately.
Every Page: Specifies that the data entry form is displayed for each printed page. When you select this option, multiple items that have the same data can be printed on the same page. When you print only one item on each page, the behavior is the same as for the Every Copy option.
