Loftware Label Manager - Basic Features

Easily Create New Labels
Label Wizard: The first time you open design mode in Loftware, the New Label Wizard is displayed, allowing you to create a new label, open a compliance label template for custom editing or open a pre-existing label.

Label Design Mode: Easily create any type of barcode and/or RFID 'Smart' Label using the intuitive Label Design Mode. This feature allows you to configure RFID tags, place and size bar codes, text, line, box and graphic fields on the Designer screen. Select one field or a group of fields on your label and instantly view and/or change field properties. Dynamically select and edit Native and True Type fonts, bar code symbologies, EPC RFID specifications, densities, ratios, and specialized check digits. Quickly and easily define field names, input prompts, operator instructions, help text, non-printing fields, and field positions. Directly assign variable field data sources with a double click of the mouse. Create and edit multiple types of Data Sources.

Simple Printer Configuration
The Printer Configuration Wizard: Configuring printers has never been easier. There are two methods available, the Printer Configuration Wizard or the Printer Configuration Grid. Either way you go, your target printer is set up in seconds. Choose your printer family (manufacturer), the model, and the type of connection you are using (i.e., TCP/IP).

Print International Labels
The Language Properties Wizard allows the printing of any language. If you do not have a printer that is capable of printing double-byte fonts such as Korean, Japanese or other Asian languages, they can still be sent to your printer as a bitmap. This allows you to have as many languages as you want on the same label because you can create any international language field on your label individually. If you have a printer that supports double-byte fonts, you may utilize them natively in Loftware.

Print On-Demand
On-Demand Print Module: An operator data entry screen is automatically created while you design your label. This form becomes the data entry screen for all "On-Demand" printing tasks. To print labels, simply click on the On-Demand printing icon, open a label form and fill in the variable fields from the keyboard or retrieve your data directly from your database. Print labels to printers locally or on your network.

Print a Range of Labels
The Range Print Module allows a range of labels to be printed from any ODBC32-compliant database using a pre-defined, or dynamic SQL query. Ranges can also be specified by using the "Query Assistant" which can eliminate the need to know SQL.
