T.L. Ashford Barcode400 System i Labeling Software

Why Barcode400?
Native System i Software

No programming required.

• Print labels using your existing System i DataBase without programming.
• Simply tell Barcode400 what file you want to use, then start designing your label.
• As you design the label, simply select the database field you want to use from a list and tell it where you want the data to print on your label, and how you want it to look. You can print the data field as a bar code, text string or even a graphic. Rotation, reverse image, and enlarged characters can be used to make the label look exactly the way you want.
• Once the label is designed, it is immediately ready for printing, prompt screens are automatically generated allowing you to randomly access and print labels from your System i database file. Or, if you wish, batch mode can be used to automatically read the file and print labels...without programming.

Easy integration

• Barcode400 is as flexible as you want it to be. The more technically inclined will appreciate the advanced functionality offered by this package. Because all processing is done directly on the System i, you can easily print labels from your existing System i application programs. A few simple statements placed inside your RPG, COBOL, or CLP program instructs Barcode400 to dynamically merge variable data into a previously designed label format and print it! It easily integrates with all System i ERP/ WHM Systems.
• Inside your RPG, RPGIV, COBOL, or CLP program you simply make a PROGRAM CALL to Barcode400, passing a few parameters: label name, label qty, name of a data structure holding data, output queue.
• Because the process is dynamic, different labels can be printed back-to-back simply by passing a different label name parameter. Create new label formats, change existing formats, without changing or recompiling your application program.

System Integrity

• All data, programs and label formats are centrally located on the System i.
• System i reliability
• The entire labeling system can be backed up as part of the routine System i backup procedure.
• One label format, centrally located and available to all users, eliminates the headache of maintaining the same label format on multiple personal computers.
• One person can be put in charge of maintaining label formats, even if your company has remote sites! For example, a programmer or non-programmer at the corporate office in New York can design formats for its manufacturing and distribution centers in Tennessee and California.
• Label formats and graphics become available to all users the instant they are saved.

Graphical Designer (32 bit version)

• The Graphical User Interface (GUI) and System i work together using the Client/server Paradigm. The label format along with all of its components are located on the System i.

Supported Printer Models

• All popular bar code printers are supported.
• RF print module (sold separately)
