INTRODUCTION1Welcome to Avery Dennison PCMate Platinum. There are four software modulesin PCMate: Print Module, Design Module, Print Preview Module, and Macro EditorModule. Use the Print Module to manage your print jobs and printing environment. Use the Design Module to create and manage label designs. Use the Print Preview Module to proof your labels before printing. Use the Macro Editor Module to create macros for entering variable data in print jobs.All users have access rights to the Print Module. However, you can disable or enableaccess rights to all other modules. For more information about user account properties,see Chapter 3, “Configuring Your Software.”This manual provides information about PCMate’s Print Module and Print PreviewModule. For information about the Design Module and the Macro Editor Module, refer toPCMate’s Label Design Guide.In this chapter, you can learn about the Print Module. about the documentation. how to get help.For information about the Print Preview Module, see Chapter 8, “Proofing Labels BeforePrinting.”About the Print ModuleUse the Print Module to manage your print jobs and printing environment. A print job isthe combination of a label design and a variable data file that PCMate merges when yousend the job or a batch to the printer.Each print job is associated with a single label design and has at least one batch.A batch represents one SKU of a retail item. What makes PCMate unique is that thesoftware handles variable data files separate from label designs until it is time to print.In the Print Module, you can open a print job and see variable data in fields that may ormay not be editable, depending on the label design.By having variable data files separate from label designs, you cannot only manage yourprint jobs efficiently, but you can create one label design for any number of print jobs.If you need to make a change to a label design, you make the change one time formultiple print jobs.Depending on how your company operates, there are three ways how you can set up yourprinting environment. The table below explains the three PCMate printing environments.EnvironmentDescriptionSingle W orkstationW ith this printing environment, you install PCMate on a singleworkstation and use a local working folder to manage your labeldesigns, print jobs, proofs, and other related files.By default, the working folder is:C:\PaxarwinW ith this printing environment, you can set up multiple PCMate useraccounts. However, users must take turns using the PCMateworkstation; and ever yone shares files that are in the working folder.Introduction 1-1
EnvironmentDescriptionCentral CellW ith this printing environment, you install PCMate on any number ofworkstations that are connected on the same network; and all usersshare label designs, print jobs, proofs, and other related files in adesignated working folder on a network PC.W ith this printing environment, you must install required fonts oneach PCMate workstation. In addition, you would need to haveprocesses in place that distribute job responsibilities so that no oneaccidently overwrites or undoes another’s work. For example, oneuser could manage print jobs that are specific to one label designwhile another user could manage print jobs that are specific toanother label design.Advanced Ticket CenterW ith this printing environment, you install PCMate on any number ofworkstations that are connected on the same network; but each userhas own working folder to manage label designs, print jobs, proofs,and other related files.To make this printing environment work, you must work with Aver yDennison Technical Support to determine the total number ofPCMate workstations, assign a unique number to each workstationfor identification, and designate one workstation as the supervisorworkstation. The supervisor workstation can see all print jobs andmake individual print jobs visible to other PCMate workstations.W ith this printing environment, the Job Manager window has fourextra columns to coordinate work among any number of teammembers: Cell Assignment, Stock Type, Due Date, and Ship To.In addition, you must install required fonts on each PCMateworkstation.About the DocumentationThis manual describes how to use PCMate Platinum v7.5. If you are using a differentversion of PCMate, the information in this manual may vary slightly.This manual uses consistent visual cues and standard text formats. The table below liststhe typographical conventions used and provides a description of each convention.ConventionDescriptionBoldW ords that are bold are the names of actual menu items, list boxes,text boxes, buttons, column headings, and tab labels in the software.ItalicW ords that are italic are names of windows, frames, and dialogboxes.UPPERCASE & BOLDW ords that are uppercase and bold are items you should type into atext box or on a command line.UPPERCASEW ords that are uppercase are keys on the keyboard or acronyms.W hen two or more words in uppercase appear together with a plus( ) sign in between, press all of the keys at the same time.A comma (,) indicates that you should press and release the keysone after the other.NoteA note contains information that explains why you are doingsomething, or offers further reference information for the task athand.WARNINGA warning alerts you that what you are about to do may endangercomputer devices, operating software, or data.1-2 Label P
