Batch Printing Batch printing is an optional feature that allows a pre-determined list of items to be brought up at once by selecting the item category button BATCH PRINT. Once selected, the user can alter the numbers of each label printed using the arrow keys. Without administrator privileges, all that can be done is alter the numbers and print – with a password the name and details of a batch can be altered on this screen. For more information, see the main 9700 manual.
