IDAutomation Barcode Label Software is an advanced, easy-to-use, WYSIWYG barcode label printing software application used for printing barcodes, text and graphics on standard laser or inkjet printers, in addition to labels on thermal transfer barcode printers.

Features:

• Ease of use - drag and drop functionality, WYSIWYG (What You See Is What You Get) layout and print preview makes this bar code label printing software very easy to use.
• Easy to install - the setup application includes a complete uninstaller. In addition, the entire program is provided as a single EXE file for simplicity and compatibility.
• Flexible application - the executable placed in the Program Files folder after installation runs independently and may be run from a USB thumb drive or other external device on another PC without requiring installation.
• Label design features - labels may include barcodes, text, different fonts and graphics. Label designs may be saved to a file and opened later for reuse.
• Incremental features - numeric barcodes and text may be incremented at selected intervals.
• Serial number and constant fields may be easily created and used in multiple objects on a label.
• Advanced printing capabilities allow the start label to be specified when unused labels exist on a page.

"This product has enabled us to print barcode labels inhouse on-demand, rather than outsourcing. We chose the label software because of its ease of use, felt it was worth our investment and would recommend it to others.” - L. Ladwig, Diesel Injection Service, Inc., Windsor, WI

• VB script capabilities allow formulas to be used to determine the data in a barcode.
• Database - link to data from databases and text files. Built-in support for comma delimited text files, CSV, Microsoft Access and Excel files as a data source. The comma delimited file type is a standard that is usually available as an export option with other software packages. Compatible with all Microsoft® Office 2000-2003 file formats. Version 2009 also supports Excel 2007 and Access 2007 XML file formats.
• Embedded Database - a custom embedded database may be created to enter values manually.
• Global append prefix and suffix values allow static data to be combined with dynamic or incrementing data in the barcode.
• Laser and inkjet printers supported - print to standard laser jet and ink jet printers with standard labels that are available at office supply stores.
• Thermal printer support - thermal printers can be used with this barcode label printing software if they have a Windows print driver installed. Upon printing, the barcode label software rasterizes the barcode to the printer's exact resolution to ensure the barcode is created accurately. Some older thermal printers will print slow through the Windows® print driver. If this is a concern, we recommend NiceLabel Software which prints using the printer's API.

"I chose this product because of ease of use to create and print barcode labels and was able to create barcode labels for libraries of books, movies and music cassettes and CDs." - Richard Mills, Arlington Heights, IL

• Label setup wizard - for easy setup of custom or pre-defined label stock.
• Rotation - barcodes, text and graphics may be independently rotated in increments of 0 (default), 90, 180 and 270 degrees.
• Graphic image import - BMP, GIF, JPEG, WMF and PCX images are supported and may be placed on labels.
• Graphic objects - squares, rectangles, lines, boxes and circles may be easily placed on labels and sized in a WYSIWYG manner.
• Label layout ruler - a measurement ruler is provided in inches or centimeters, changed by clicking the corner of the ruler.
• Multiple symbologies - multiple barcode symbologies may be created on the same label. This bar code label printing software supports the following linear symbologies: Telepen, EAN8, EAN13, EAN14, UPC-A, UPC-E, Interleaved 2of 5, ITF, Code 39, Full ASCII Code 39, Code 93, Code 128, UCC/EAN-128, MSI, Codabar, Planet & Postnet.

"We decided on this label software over others because it was user friendly, and in particular the very good information your site provides as an introduction to barcodes and barcoding. This product has allowed us to step up to a higher level fulfillment center, and will improve the accuracy of our inventory transactions.” - Don Stewart, Stewart Brown, Inc., Ventura, CA
