1 transfer barcode label printing
The principle of thermal transfer printing technology is to melt and transfer the solid ink on the ribbon to the medium by heating and pressing to complete the printing. By selecting the thermal transfer ribbon to match the label material, the thermal transfer printing method can produce bar code labels with special properties such as high temperature resistance, abrasion resistance and chemical resistance. Therefore, it has been the most widely used in the bar code industry. The thermal transfer printer has four precisions: 203DPI, 300DPI, 406DPI and 600DPI. Print speeds range from 51 mm/sec to 300 mm/sec. Print widths are usually 71 mm, 104 mm, 165 mm, and 215 mm.
2, thermal barcode label printing
The thermal printing method uses a thermal label material, and the ribbon is not used, and the thermal label is directly heated to complete the printing. Thermal bar code labels have a short life span, usually no more than six months, and are mainly used indoors or where the ambient temperature is not high. Bar code label printers using thermal technology are less expensive. However, the cost of the print head is high. Mainly used in special areas such as retail.
3, packaging label printing solution
Bar code label printing for product packaging is the most common application for barcode label printers. The packaging label usually has a large size, the printing precision is not high, and the printing amount is large. The label material is mostly paper material, and the ribbon is mostly a common wax base or a mixed base. Therefore, it is more suitable to choose a low-precision industrial grade bar code printer. Thermal transfer barcode label printers such as Intermec PM4i and PX6i.
4, product nameplate label printing solution
The product nameplate label is commonly used in synthetic materials such as PET; the ribbon is also based on pure resin. To ensure the various performance requirements and durability of bar code labels. On the layout of the product nameplate label, it is often necessary to print the company logo, special symbols and graphics. For the printing of text, especially Chinese characters, it is also required to be as beautiful as possible. Therefore, high-precision thermal transfer printers are selected. 300DPI or 406DPI thermal transfer barcode label printers such as Intermec 3240 and PX4i.
5, precision positioning printing solution
Ordinary thermal transfer bar code label printers have a mechanical positioning accuracy of only 13 mm. It is difficult to meet the printing requirements of small labels such as circuit board labels, chip labels, and jewelry labels. At this time, a printer with a precise positioning of the label is required. The Intermec 3240 is a special performance thermal transfer barcode label printer designed to meet this need. Its mechanical positioning accuracy is 2.5 mm.
In addition, some labels have more layout content, and if the positioning is not accurate, the printed content may drift out of the label layout. At this time, a printer with an image precise positioning function is required to ensure that the range of image drift in a large number of prints is within the permissible error. The Intermec 4420/4440 is a thermal transfer barcode label printer with precise image positioning. Its image positioning accuracy is 0.1 mm.
6, wireless network printing solutions
Using a printer server to connect a bar code label printer to an enterprise's local area network is a relatively common application. But in some cases, the access method of the wireless network provides a lot of convenience and flexibility. For example, when the manufacturing area is redesigned, there is no need to consider wiring, and the printer can be quickly and easily moved to where it is needed; it is quick and easy to adapt to seasonal adjustments and temporary changes.
7, smart printing solutions
Smart barcode printers combine the functions of a PC and a printer into one. It can work offline independently, input data through a random keyboard or barcode scanner, or other external device, and then call the label layout stored in the printer's memory for printing. Smart barcode printers can also be driven by industrial I/O signals. Smart barcode printers can also be attached to the Internet to form an enterprise-class smart barcode label printing system. Enables enterprises to achieve centralized management and control, and monitor the status of printers in real time. Typical products include Inteco PX4i/PX6i and Intermec PF4i/PM4i and other intelligent thermal transfer barcode label printers
8, SAP barcode printing solution
There are three ways to connect a bar code label printing system to an SAP R/3 or MySAP.com system: the most straightforward method is to use SAP Script. Define the barcode library and label layout in SAP Script, and then complete the printing task through the printer driver. The second method is to use the barcode label design software to generate the label layout described in the printer language and put it into SAP Script, which controls the data flow and print tasks. Both methods require ABAP programming. The third method is to use off-the-shelf bar code label design software, such as BarTender Enterprise Edition and Loftware LPS Server Edition. Their interface with SAP system has been developed and certified. Users only need to call and establish associations to use, no need to program.
There are two ways to connect a bar code label printing system to an SAP R/3 or MySAP.com system: controlled by Bartender and controlled by SAPScript, which determines your consideration of SAP server load. Controlled by Bartender, you can load Bartender and his control program on another machine, reducing the burden on the SAP server to run SAP scripts. Either way, the user can't feel the operation of Bartender. Just like SAP automatically prints.
1" Printed by Bartender Control:
a. Data source options
Use Bartender to connect to the data source to complete the printing.
There are three kinds of SAP data sources, one is the data file generated by SAP's ALE control, the other is the data text file generated by SAP BAPI (written in ABAP language), and the other is generated by SAP print script. Data text file.
b. Bartender control options
a" Command mode (Commander)
In this mode, Bartender will automatically detect whether there is a relevant data file in the specified directory, and if so, automatically combine the data file with a previously specified format file and send it to a pre-designated printer for printing.
b"AcTIveX mode,
The AcTIveX control function provided by Bartender is called in SAP to combine the data with the previously specified format file and send it to the printer for printing.
c" command line mode
The SAP system can be configured to print out the label by specifying the format, data, printer and running the Bartender program when the label is to be printed.
The above three methods are all running Bartender in the background, and the user can't see the Bartender interface.
2" Controlled by SAP script printing
Methods as below:
a. Design the label format, printer parameters, and printer selection with Bartender.
b. Send the label format of the printer language generated by Bartender to SAP's ITF (Internal Exchange Text File), in which the data items to be replaced by SAP scripts are marked.
c. Send the ITF file to the SAP script.
d. Configure SAP to run the SAP script report when the label is to be printed. This script report will send the data to the corresponding data item in the ITF and send it to the specified printer for printing.
9, Oracle barcode printing solution
The Loftware Connector is the easiest solution when you want to print barcode labels under Oracle's WMS and MCSA. The Loftware Connector is a Java-based application that can be loaded directly into an Oracle database. Integration with Oracle's WMS and MCSA through Oracle's API. When the Oracle system triggers a print job, the XML request with the data is passed to the Loftware Connector via the API. After the Connector organizes, the XML request will be submitted to the Loftware LPS for processing and sent to the designated printer for the print job. The Loftware Connector has been certified by Oracle.
10, RFID smart label printing solution
With the popularization and application of radio frequency identification (RFID) technology, the coexistence of bar code identification and radio frequency identification (RFID) in a tag or system is becoming more and more common. Simultaneous printing of bar codes and coded radio frequency identification (RFID) tags has become a basic requirement. Therefore, a dual-function barcode/radio frequency identification (RFID) label printer emerged.
The Intermec Intellitag PM4i is a versatile label printer for RFID. It is a new product developed on the basis of the Intermec PM4i smart label printer.
Intermec Intellitag PM4i printers follow current RFID standards and encode RFID tags and bar code, text, and graphics at the same time without host system programming.
The Intellitag PM4i works offline and performs printing and encoding tasks independently.
11, printer network management
Intermec Printer Network Manager (IPNM) is an efficient software product from Intermec. It manages remote printers centrally through the network. The user can not only monitor the status of the printer through software, but also set up an alert message to be sent to an email-triggered device such as a cell phone, text pager or personal computer. IPNM enables administrators to streamline tasks and reduce the cost of running and maintaining Intermec printers on the network.
Barcode printers can now be centrally managed from a central location in the world. To make it easier for most printers to manage, these printers can be grouped for alert settings. This is a unique feature of the Intermec Printer Network Manager software. Administrators can classify printers into small groups based on geographic, commercial requirements (warehouse, manufacturing, office), specific applications, or their own personalized choices/settings.
IPNM can automatically search and locate all Inermec printers on the network. The administrator can change printer settings, alert settings, upgrade firmware, and even restart the printer.
12, Intermec Printer Application Server
Powerful system integration tools
Intermec Printer Application Server (IPAS) is a software product that lets you build powerful printer solutions. Thanks to its adaptive structure, the software can support any system from a few printers to an enterprise-scale large system.
In a conventional printing system, each printer must be connected to a personal computer or terminal. If you use the EasyLAN&S482; network interface card to connect the barcode printer to the network, the added hardware and maintenance costs will be eliminated.
IPAS has a mandatory priority alert system that minimizes printer downtime. For example, if the printer has a fault indication or encounters a condition without a label, the notification is sent to the support person by email, pager, or similar supported device. The software includes a standard alarm system, and customers can customize the alarm system to suit their specific needs.
Running a barcode printer with the Intermec Printer Application Server (IPAS) not only reduces the number of personal computers from the hardware, but tag information can be retrieved directly from the host database to ensure the correctness of each print.
The Intermec Printer Application Server replaces the entire set of client PCs with a central server that serves all printers. Since there is no need to install a client's personal computer or terminal, investment and maintenance costs are greatly reduced.
