With the e-mark (create) you can print sequential imprints by using the datasets of a CSV file as a basis.
Please follow the steps below or watch the video for explanation:
- Create an Excel list and save as CSV, the data of every line in your excel list will be represented in one imprint
- Click File -> Save As
- You will see the Save dialog box. Via the file format dropdown menu, select the CSV UTF-8 option -> Click Save
Note: If you cannot find the CSV UTF-8 saving option, please have a look at How can I save my Excel file in the right format for serial printing of CSV files? - Save the CSV file in the downloads folder on your device. You can find this folder in your files app.
- Open the e-mark app and create a new imprint (New imprint – start without template)
- In the editor, go to properties at the top and click on the + button next to serial marking and select your CSV file
Click on serial marking and select your CSV file
The delimiter is usually a “;” -> enter “;” or other sign as defined
- Now create your imprint with the variables (columns) from your CSV file:
- Add text by clicking on text
- Click on the curly bracket: select the variables you want to have in your imprint such as name, phone number, mail,… -> each imprint will show the data of one text line of your original CSV file
- Change font style, colour,… as you like and add images, date, or other elements to your imprint
- Click on Save
6. Click on print (top right) to transfer the imprint to the CSV queue. Send the imprint -> The next imprints will be sent line by line automatically.
If you want to print only a specific line or need a previous line again - no worries! Just click on Line and select the data line that you want to print.
Tips:
Usually, data sets are varying in length (different names, addresses,…), therefore it is recommended to position different variables underneath and not beside each other. Images are best to be put to the left side of the imprint.
