Label software "ViPrint" is developed to design and print labels on thermo printer.
For now only Datecs printers can be used, but it is not a problem to add other printer support.
Up to five different label designs can be defined.
This software was made by special request from "ViVenda" - meat producer with excellent products.
This software works under Windows 95/98/2000/XP.
user manual
The program consists of several main modules
- access module - three different levels
- measurement module - communication with weigh scale
- set-up module - communication set-up, barcodes, archive and others
- article module - article defining and their characteristics
for printing
- report module - detailed reports for date to date, combined with different criteria.
Print or Export to MS Excel
- print module - label printing via serial or parallel interface
The idea of this program is to print dynamically labels
with different information. Up to 32 variables can be printed
on a label, some of them can be changed from operator if
needed or are automatically changed (weight, barcode). It
is possible to use five different designs of labels.
ViPrint keeps track of printed labels - for the last article
and total prints made. Further more, detailed reports can
be made and also to see graphically how measurements and
labels for an article has been made.
Some variables are changed automatically, others can be
changed by the user (right side of the main window). In
this case the barcode is type CODE128B and is formed in
a way, which guarantees unique label. The weight comes from
electronic weigh scale, and after that a label is printed.
Articles are ordered in tree-style, can be identified in
groups as well. Article choice is made with mouse or when
entering number in search field. ViPrint can work in three
modes:
- automatic label printing - weight is put on scale's platform, after equilibrium label is printed
automatically
- label is printed when operator presses button “Print”
- manual mode - the operator can enter weight manually and also number of labels to be print
There is additional option to print label with summarized
info for the last article. This data is shown in the main
window too. Articles can be entered manually in the program
or to be imported from Excel file.
Connection with electronic unit is made via RS-232/RS-485
serial interface. In the moment we have implemented protocols
to work with electronic indicators of Gineers, HBM, “Libra
engineering” and “Elicom Electronics”, but it is not a problem
to add other manufacturers.
Database is self-made (file structure), encrypted. PC requirements are
written in the user manual. Works under Windows 2000/XP.
