and/or shortcomings. This can allow users to get up and running quickly in situationswhere they might otherwise have to wait for updates to their software.• For Exporting Printer Code Templates. Provides much more powerful formattingof the output for a desired Print System. For example, this feature was used by Seagullto improve our SAPScript-ITF export feature and to add support for a variety of dataentrykeyboard terminals. Printer Code Modifier simplifies Printer Code Templatemaintenance by eliminating any need for manual edits to the exported printer code.The Printer Code Modifiers have two separate interfaces, the Action List for simple changesand Visual Basic Scripting for more advanced manipulation. Each is described below.Action ListsA list of simple actions, such as Searchand Replace, can be created and executedin sequence to automatically alter printercode before it is sent to the printer orlabel template file. One specializedapplication for which Action Lists can beuseful is the encoding of proprietary orspecialized character sets.VB ScriptingIf the desired modification is morecomplex than the Printer Code ModifierActions can perform, you can add VBscripting to the print code modificationprocess using the BarTender VB scriptassistant.Page 4
Enhanced Printer Code Template SupportThe Modify Printer Code feature (described above) has been used to improve our existingSAPScript-ITF support and add support for more data-entry keyboard terminals. In addition,users can export Printer Code Templates directly to a device, instead of having to export to afile first and then use a separate loader.Improved SAPScript-ITF SupportThe SAPScript-ITF print system has been updated to fully support SAP Script Release 4.6C.We’ve added support for limiting the length of lines in the ITF file and are handling certainspecial characters better.New Keyboard Terminal SupportSupport has been added for the TSC KU-007, TSC KP-100/200, and TEC KB75 data-entrykeyboard terminals.Export Directly to DeviceNow, when exporting a Printer Code Template that is intended to be stored on a printer or adata-entry keypad terminal, the code can be sent directly to the appropriate port (serial,parallel, USB, or TCP/IP) instead of first being sent to file. This eliminates the previouslyrequired step of manually transmitting the file to the port.New Advanced Data SourcesIn addition to the many data sources that BarTender supports, version 7.75 now allows labelobjects to read their data from other objects on the label. Also, printer code template fieldscan now be more easily assigned to objects on the label.Label Object StringBarTender has long supported the sharing of data between objects, but, until now, it has beenlimited to sharing the individual data fields that make up an object. Now it is possible to sharethe object’s entire data string with another object. This is especially useful for:• Printing in text form data that includes a check digit that was computed for a bar code.• Printing in text or bar code form the data encoded into an RFID tag.Page 5
