External Label Processing
The Smart Label program is capable of executing a user-defined program each time a label is printed.
This allows some additional processing to be performed for each printed label (e.g., add to a database,
create a form letter, etc.). This feature is implemented by adding a “RunOnPrint” section to the
SLPAdmin.xml file:

InfoFilePath
Path to where the Label Information file will

“Label_2322022955_0001.xml” and the last
four digits (e.g., “0001”) are incremented for
each label.

ExecuteProgram
Path to the user program to execute. The
program will be executed with a command
line that includes the path of the Label
Information file. For example,
C:\Windows\Notepad.exe
Label_2322022955_0001.xml

Wait
Set to 0 to allow the Smart Label program to
continue while the user program executes.
Set to 1 to have the Smart Label program
wait until the user program terminates before
continuing, effectively preventing multiple
instances of the user program.

Set to 1 to have the Smart Label program
wait until the user program terminates before
continuing, effectively preventing multiple
instances of the user program.
When executed, the user program will be passed one parameter, which is the name of the Label
Information file. The file should be deleted after the contents are read, to prevent the accumulation of
obsolete files.
The user program should read the Label Information file, delete the file, process the information, and
exit as fast as possible. If another label is printed while the user program is still executing, a second
instance of the program will be started. This could cause problems.
