Initiating printing of a second label from Commander of via scripting

We are using Commander to print inventory labels from our ERP.  Some of our customers require a second custom label to be printed.  Our ERP is unable, without modification, of printing multiple different labels.  

Once the current inventory label is printed, I would like, under certain conditions, to print a second label.

Does anybody have any idea how to do this?  I was thinking either somehow from inside Commander, or via scripting from the initial label that gets printed.

We are currently using Bartender 10.1 SR3.

Thanks

  It sounds like you will need to create some VB script in the label to create an output file containing the data you want at print time and then add a new Commander task that triggers when this file is created to open the required label. It is possible but not sure on the scripting you would need to achieve this though.

  I would also suggest checking out using conditional printing and multiple templates. We have an article about it here.
