Determine DOS (Command Prompt) Errors arising from Printing Integrated Shipping Labels while Running Commands in a Batch File

More often than not, batch files usually cause EPL labels to not print. That being the case, it is necessary to check DOS (Command Prompt) errors while the batch file (label.bat) executes. This is very important in isolating where the printing problem is. However, the DOS window flashes very quickly. Use the Pause command to suspend the processing of a batch program. This then displays a message prompting the user to press any key to continue.

To determine DOS (Command Prompt) errors while running commands in a batch file (label.bat), perform the following:

1.    Right click the label.bat file.

2.    Select Edit.

3.    Type PAUSE below the last the command line.

4.    Click Save.

5.    Print integrated shipping label again.

6.    The DOS window suspends processing of a batch program and displays a message prompting the user to press any key to continue.

From the abovementioned steps, users may now determine the error in the batch file.
