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

older thermal printers will print slowly through the Windows® print driver.

associated
.NET Forms Control.
