Bug Description
Our library has a policy of applying spine labels both to books and accompanying dust jackets. Multiple labels also need to be printed in cases where the spine labels require more than 6 lines, usually because of prefixes or suffixes (volumes/parts). When processing one title at a time, simply hitting the print button twice is sufficient. But for times when a list has been created, we would like the option of printing a specific number of labels sequentially.
A possible solution would be to create a parameter in the Library Settings Editor for “Cataloging: Number of spine labels to print.” The default value would be set to 1. This parameter would be displayed on the Spine Labels screen in the “Spine Label” area, and would allow us to specify how many labels to print for all the volumes in the list.

After further research we find that when the Print button is pressed it is possible to set the printer to print 2 or more labels sequentially. So the solution outlined above would be useful only when the shelf of volumes/items that need 1 and 2 labels are mixed together.
