Barcode Label Software Overview

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.

• 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.
• System requirements - runs on Windows® 98 or greater including XP, Vista and Windows 7 through 10. Minimum hardware requirements are 30 MB available hard drive space, 256 MB RAM and a 500 MHZ or faster processor.
• 32 bit & .NET performance - written using Microsoft .NET for performance, stability and native compatibility with future Microsoft® operating systems.
• Multiple symbologies - multiple barcode symbologies may be created on the same label.
  • The standard barcode 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 and Postnet. GS1-128 (EAN/UCC-128) - supports all EAN and UCC 128 AIs according to the Code 128 FAQ.
  • The Pro version supports ECC-200 Data Matrix, PDF417, Maxicode, Aztec, QR-Code, MicroPDF, GS1 DataBar (RSS) and Composite. MICR is provided in the pro version with templates for bank checks to be designed and printed on blank check stock.
• Laser and inkjet printers supported - print to standard laser jet and ink jet printers with standard labels that are available at office supply stores.

  "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

• Predefined label stock contains several definitions for Avery, Herma, Zweckform and a few others.
  • Create a Custom Label Video
• Print preview - this barcode label printing software allows viewing of the page before printing.
• 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 slowly through the Windows® print driver. If this is a concern, we recommend NiceLabel Software which prints using the printer's API.
• Source code available - the dotnet source code to the labeling application can be supplied with the purchase of a Multi-Site License and a signed Source Code License Agreement. The application is written in Visual Basic .NET and contains over 13,000 lines of source code. It uses the idautomation.* .dll files for the creation of barcodes. The source code for the idautomation.*.dll files is generally not needed. If desired, the source for that can also be provided by purchasing an Unlimited Developer License for the associated .NET Forms Control.

Label design features include barcodes, text, different fonts and graphics. Label designs may be saved to a file and opened later for reuse.

• Label setup wizard - for easy setup of custom or pre-defined label stock. Multiple barcodes may be created on the same label.
• Label layout ruler - a measurement ruler is provided in inches or centimeters, changed by clicking the corner of the ruler.
• Rotation - barcodes, text and graphics may be independently rotated in increments of 0 (default), 90, 180 and 270 degrees.

  "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

• Global append prefix and suffix values allow static data to be combined with dynamic or incrementing data in the barcode.
• 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.
• Incremental features - numeric barcodes and text may be incremented at selected intervals.
  • How to use the Field and Variables Features Video
• 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.
  • How to use the Print Range Features Video
• 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. Latest version also supports Excel and Access XML file formats.
  • Link to External Source with the Barcode Label Software Video

• Bearer bars may be easily created for ITF and all other linear barcode types.
