Generate Related Labels Using Multiple Label Templates

You can use a business rule to cause one print request to generate additional print requests that use the same label template or other label templates. This can be useful for situations in which a set of related printed labels is required for each job, such as a bill of lading for a shipment and a label for each item in the shipment.

Important! Content in a business rule is case sensitive.

Important! The following example is a special type of business rule called a Job Source. This business rule must be run by using a generator process in which the path to this business rule is entered in the Job Source field.

The following is a component set in a business rule that generates four labels from a single print request. The path to the label template is /Example/Shipping001 and the path to the device used is /Example/Printer009. The trigger for this component set is job submission.

Note: This business rule requires the existence of a JDBC data service that establishes a connection to a database.
