The Bundle and Bag Break control
windows can be found under the
Properties… button on the Control
Panel. When you click on this
button the “Control Panel –
Properties” window will appear. At
the top of the window there are two
tabs, Bag Breaks and Bundle
Breaks. Their functions are
similar. They permit you to
separate bags of mail and bundles
in the same job. You can use
either or both of these to separate
the pieces.
To use this feature you must first
put a non-alpha or numeric
character in an existing field of
your database or create a separate
field for the bag and bundle break
character. If you do create a
separate field you may use any
character except the tilde (~).
All presorting software is capable
of preparing your database in this
way. For example we used (*) for
bag break and (##) for bundle
break.
Once you have loaded your job in
the control panel, select
Properties… then select Bag
Break, the above window will
appear. Click on the Enable Bag
Breaks to select it.
Select the field where the break
character was placed in the
database. If you used a character
other than the (*) place that in the
Break Sequence block, then
select pieces for the break in the
Break Delay block. Then click
OK. The printer will stop at the
break when the job is run.
If you require a Bundle Break
repeat the above sequence, but
use a different character or field to
designate this function.
NOTE: You can use any alpha or numeric characters but not the tilde (~) for this if you place
the character into a separate field in the database.
Start the printing process by clicking the GO button. When the AstroJet Control Panel software
reaches a break character the printer will stop feeding. To restart the printing process, press SELECT
on the control panel.
