Printing different number of copies on each template
Hi,
I am using bartender 2021 connected to an access database. Some of the products are packed with an inner and an outer label. Is it possible to have two templates (one for the inner label & one for the outer label) and print different amount of copies for each template?
For example product A is packed as 4 inner boxes in 1 outer box, when selecting the number of copies to print x number of outer labels and 4x amount of inner labels.
Then product B is packed as 2 inner boxes in 1 outer box, when selecting the number of copies to print x number of outer labels and 2x amount of inner labels.
Hope this makes sense. Thank you.

Assuming it is always X Inner plus one Outer then you could add a second template to the label with the outer details on it but in the Page setup make this an end of job template so that the number of copies value does not effect this.
So with 4 labels selected to print, you would get, all printed at the same time on the same printer:

Hi Peter,
The number of inner is not a set number, as it can be 2, 4 or 6.
Also, is there a way to print first all the inner and then all the outer labels?
So, if, for example, it has 2 inner labels it will first print 200 inner copies and then 100 outer copies. Is it possible to manually select the number of copies for each template separately?
Thank you.

You would need to create a second print command for that, although you could possibly configure an action that runs when you print the X inners to print the required Y outer copies.

Hi Peter,
I am not familiar with the Process Builder and after having watched a couple of videos I am still not sure how to use it.
When clicking on actions and browse the .btw file we use that it is connected to an access database, the below error pops out.
How do i create a second print command? Can i link one command print to print from template 1 and the second command print to print on template 2?
Thank you.

I wasn't suggesting Process Builder I was suggesting using an Action from the Data Entry Form of the 1st label.

Hi Peter,
I have tried using the Action from the Data Entry Form but I am not sure how to do this. Is there any tutorial on how to create a second print command as you suggested or how to use the action from the data entry form? I haven't used this one before and I don't know how it works.
Thank you.
