BMP61 - Standalone CSV Import with Advanced List Merge
Body
List Merge & Advanced List Merge
The BMP61 allows saving a CSV to its local memory. This data can then be imported to a label file created standalone on the device, similar to the Excel import process in LabelMark and Brady Workstation.
Creating List Merge & Advanced List Merge
The difference between MERGE and ADVANCED MERGE is ADVANCED MERGE lets you rearrange the order of your columns within the label.
Note: As of firmware 1.0.109926 the BMP61 does not automatically place data in multiple columns into multiple lines on a label.
