The Reprint Labels tab displays details about the selected print job. By using the Reprint Labels tab, you can view the value of each data-sourced object for each printed item in the print job and reprint one or more items from the print job.

The Reprint Labels pane is divided into the item grid and the object grid.

Item Grid

The item grid displays all of the items that were printed during the selected print job. You can use the navigation bar at the bottom of the grid to locate specific items. To select items that you want to reprint, click to select the check box for each item in the Reprint column.

When BarTender prints a document, it stores information about each printed item in the BarTender System Database. You can view this information by adding or removing columns in the item grid.

The following fields are available:

• Page: Displays the number of the page that the item was printed on.

• Position on Page: Displays the number of the position of the item on the page. This number is based on the position of the item when it is printed on a single page of media stock. For example, if you print your items on a sheet of paper that can hold ten items on each page, the first item printed on the first page has a position number of one, and the tenth item printed has a position number of ten. The eleventh item has a position number of one, because it is the first item that is printed on the second page.

• Printed Item: Displays the number that is assigned to the item according the order in which it was printed.

• Status: Displays the status of the item.

When you right-click an item in the item grid on the Reprint Labels tab of the Selected Print Job Details pane, a context menu is displayed that you can use to reprint items. The following options are available:
