LaserLab Label Compatibility: BarTender Software

This BarTender software can print all LaserLab label formats: A4 format printing (19x38 mm, 25x51 mm and 25x64 mm)
with a laser or inkjet printer.
The LaserLab Designer software also lets you print your own labels in small quantities with no high production costs.

Create your labels in just a few clicks by adding your logo, text, frames, and barcodes (fixed or dynamic). The software is compatible with Word and Excel and includes a built-in database for simplified management.
It supports 1D barcodes and optionally 2D Datamatrix. Automatic check digit generation ensures correct reading of codes such as EAN 13, EAN 8, SSCC, ISBN, and EAN 14.
Fully compatible with all printers (laser, inkjet, thermal transfer), it lets you print only the labels you need on an A4 sheet and resume printing on a partially used sheet, optimizing label usage.
RFID Printer Compatibility (Encoding, Decoding, and Printing)
The BarTender software is fully compatible with RFID printers and supports encoding, decoding, and printing of RFID labels.
- Encoding: BarTender allows writing data directly onto the RFID chip embedded in the label, such as a serial number, product data, or logistics tracking info.
- Decoding: It also allows reading and interpreting data stored on the RFID chip via an RFID reader, making identification and traceability easier.
- Printing: In addition to managing RFID data, the software allows printing text, barcodes, and graphics on the label for dual identification (electronic and visual).
It supports simultaneous printing and encoding of UHF, HF, and NFC RFID labels using optimized printer drivers.
For RFID functionality, you must install the Seagull driver on your printer.
With BarTender Professional Edition, you can customize RFID chip writing to meet your needs, integrate databases for advanced information management, and ensure optimal traceability of your assets and documents.

How to Choose Between Starter and Professional?
*WYSIWYG (What You See Is What You Get) refers to an interface where the content on-screen appears exactly as it will be printed or displayed. This helps users design documents or web pages without technical expertise, simplifying the creation process and reducing errors.
**Intelligent Templates™ are dynamic templates that allow for easy updates and modifications, automatically adapting to changes in content and layout. These templates minimize manual adjustments and ensure optimal consistency and flexibility in labeling.
