1. Java Bar Code Package Update

Our new Java Barcode Package version 4.10 release has the following improvements:

• Added GIF file functionality. When using a GIF instead of a JPEG, the resulting image file is 4 to 20 times smaller in size. This will result in faster barcode creation when using servlets.
• Added ability to encode byte arrays directly into DataMatrix and PDF417.
• Support for headless Java.
• Added performance improvements for servlet operation.
• File quality improvements for JPEG files.
• Auto size feature has been added to size the images for servlet operation.

We are currently in development of a DLL that will allow easy embedding of RFID labels and tags on RFID enabled printers.

If you are interested in beta testing this RFID control, please contact us with the following information:

• Contact information.

• The make and model of the RFID printer being used.

• Your development environment.

• And the expected time frame for implementing a solution.
