Allows labels or lines on forms to printed based on a condition (rule)
For example, the following set of items can be printed by a condition based on the material code.
Item Size Material
PRT/21 670.0 x 345.0 MDF15
PRT/14 1200.0 x 780.0 MDF15
PRT/11 920.0 x 345.0 MDF18
PRT/31 679.5 x 450.0 MDF18
PRT/X2 1300.0 x 478.0 PB15
Material = MDF15
Item Size Material
PRT/21 670.0 x 345.0 MDF15
PRT/14 1200.0 x 780.0 MDF15
Only the items with a material of MDF15 are printed. Conditions can be more complicated:-
Material = MDF15
or
Material = MDF18
Item Size Material
PRT/21 670.0 x 345.0 MDF15
PRT/14 1200.0 x 780.0 MDF15
PRT/11 920.0 x 345.0 MDF18
PRT/31 679.5 x 450.0 MDF18
In this case there are two conditions to be satisfied and this prints all labels where the material code for the part is either MDF15 or MDF18.
Here is another example for label printing:-
Length - millimetres >= 250
And
Width - millimetres >= 250
This only prints labels for parts with any dimension larger than 250mm
To set the conditions select TOOLS - FORM DESIGN or TOOLS - LABEL DESIGN and move to the Form or label parameters dialog and select the 'Rules' tab. Use the boxes on the screen to set the condition. Select the field or item (such as 'Material' in the left hand box, then the condition (such as >, =, <) and then the value (such as MDF15)
Use the list box at the left to see a list of choices for the value - where this is relevant. For example, a list of materials where the item set is the material.
None - select this to NOT print by a condition
Note - item for the condition can be any field available - it does not have to be a field displayed on the form or label.
Forms - On a form the conditions applies to the list of items on the form.
The available conditions are:-
> greater than
>= greater than or equal to
= equal to
<= less than or equal to
< less than
<> not equals to
:: contains
This feature is not relevant for printing with Homag or 'Online label PC' options where selection of label is determined at the saw
