Printing

If the operator wants to print labels and a nest layout, they can select the “Print” button and the following dialog box will appear.

Printing Sheets:

Print Sheets will perform the printing for the selected Sheet Settings.

Sheet Settings will take you to the following dialog where options for the printed sheet can be set.

NOTE: When using the "Use Part Name on Parts" option you must keep in mind that if you have parts with long names it could appear messy. Plus if the nest contains multiple parts with the same name it will be difficult to depict where a part is located in the nest. This option is recommended for jobs with simple unique part name strategies.

Printing Labels:

Print Labels will bring up a dialog box to perform label printing. The labels will be printed based on the Crystal Report file selected. Click the Select File button to select a Crystal Report file. The files provided with ShopBot Link are located in the C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Thermwood\ShopBot Link\Labels directory on XP and C:\ProgramData\Application Data\Thermwood\ShopBot Link\Labels on Vista.

The following is a list of the available Crystal Report files with a label type and an example of the data they display per label.

NOTE: Files with the word "Barcode" in the title will only print labels with barcodes.

30252_Address.rpt & 30252_Address_Barcode.rpt

Label Type: Dymo label printer with 30252 Address labels
