Abstract
A method of using a central computer that is communicatively connectable to a first control computer and configured to dynamically allocate and transmit unique codes from a server to a first printing machine, having a first rate of printing. The method includes the steps of: receiving a first request for a first patch of unique codes from the first control computer of a first printing machine, wherein the first control computer is communicatively connected to the first printing machine and wherein the first control computer controls the first printing machine for printing the unique codes in package labels; obtaining printing parameters comprising a file size of a unique code and a printing speed of the first printing machine; determining a first time interval between the first request to the server and the unique code being available to be used by the first printing machine; determining a first communication speed between the server and the first printing machine; dynamically calculating a first optimum patch size of the first patch of unique codes to be delivered to the first printing machine based on the first request from the first control computer of the first printing machine…
