Printing 2 Templates To A Single Page With Conditions
I would like to be able to print one template to the top portion of a page. Then, conditionally, if more items were needed, I would like to trigger the second template to print on the lower portion of the page. I would like to designate exact locations on the page for each template. Additionally, I would like that this entire process would repeat itself if more items were printing onto a second or more pages. I just need some guidance.
Thanks

Hi Shane,
You might be able to do this in the BarTender Designer using the [Print when:] options in the page set up.
To do this, first name the data source with the condition. Then open the Page Setup menu and select the template(s) that are optional in your file. Click the button to the right of the box that says "Always" by default, and this opens a dialogue box in which you can setup your conditions.
You may have to also change some of the settings in the Page and Layout tabs to match your needs.

It doesn't appear possible to drop a template freely to any location I choose. That would be a great feature for BarTender to adapt.
Agreed, but two questions in follow up:
1. Does this feature occur after every 5th row or only the first 5?
If all the templates are the same but the location just needs to be offset a bit every 5th row, we may be able to use the Layout settings to set up a custom template with margins to avoid the gap.2. What type of printer / stock are you using?
I know some times there are printer driver options to set up gaps between labels, and that could be an option.0 -
I don't know what you mean by "name the data source with the condition". The issue I am having with conditions, is that I want to sent the condition to be based on the number of labels printed. The stock is a page of 36 labels. Labels 1 to 20 need to print to Template 1 and labels 21 to 36 need to print using Template 2. This is due to labels 21 to 36 being slightly lower due to a single vertical gap between rows 5 and 6. Any idea on how to set that condition?

There are 36 labels (9 rows by 4 columns), the stock is 8.5 x 11. I am using a Lexmark T650 at the moment and it seems that Seagull Scientifics has no Lexmark drivers.
Below is the stock I am using. You can see there is a gap only between rows 5 and 6.
