The Clear Leader
In 1993, BarTender became the first Windows program to support both laser and thermal printers. Today, Seagull Scientific is the world’s largest developer of true Windows printer drivers, and BarTender is available internationally in over 20 languages.

BarTender Features:

• High Precision On-Screen Display—The extremely accurate design-time view and print-time preview let you design quickly without wasting labels.


• Exceptional Font Control—Access a remarkably wide selection of Windows and printer fonts, mix different text styles in a paragraph, and connect fonts to different database fields.


• Advanced, Customizable Serialization—Generate anything from the simplest serial numbers to the most advanced, totally custom sequences.


• Compliance Labels and Ready-to-Print Formats—Whether you use the ready-to-print formats or design labels from scratch, you get the power and flexibility to satisfy thousands of compliance label standards.


• Custom Data-Entry Forms—When you won’t know some of your label data until the last second, customizable, pop-up “Prompt Dialogs” make it easy to enter it at print time.


• Password Protection—By locking BarTender into a “print-only” mode, you can prevent unauthorized users from altering label designs – be it by accident, well-intentioned, or otherwise.


• Industrial Symbol Libraries—Choose from hundreds of high-quality, scalable symbols organized into categories such as electrical, hazardous material, packaging, and more.


• Add Your Own Features Using Visual Basic Script—Our Visual Basic “Scripting Assistant” lets even non-programmers customize BarTender’s behavior to tackle a wide variety of advanced data-processing and other challenges.


• Predefined and Reusable “Toolbox” Components—Jumpstart your designs with common, predefined building blocks ready for immediate insertion into your labels.


• Huge, Expandable Label Stock Database—BarTender comes with literally thousands of ready-to-use label sizes in a huge, conveniently organized label stock database. You can also design your own stock sizes and add them to the database for future use.


• Quickly and Easily Assign Data to Label Objects—Whether you’re connecting to multiple databases or a single text file, BarTender displays your available data fields in a convenient, easy-to-understand format.


• Integration with Other Software—Labeling is almost always part of a larger process. That’s why some of BarTender’s most powerful features are dedicated to cooperative operation with other software.


• Powerful, Flexible Data Mining—From the simplest pick list to the most sophisticated SQL query, BarTender delivers a wide variety of convenient ways to extract the desired data.


• Read from Most Databases and Spreadsheets—BarTender makes it easy to simultaneously access multiple databases on multiple networked computers with Microsoft ODBC (Open Database Connectivity) support and support for UNIX, AS/400, Oracle, Sybas, Informix, and delimited and fixed-width text formats.


• SAP Idoc Files—BarTender is the only label program with a data interface formally certified by SAP – the world’s largest developer of ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning) Software. The Enterprise Edition can directly open and parse SAP IDoc files “as is,” without any file conversion.


• Transparent Operation from within Other Software—All versions of BarTender can be controlled from within any program capable of issuing a run-program, shell, or similar command line.


• ActiveX Automation—The implementation of Microsoft’s ActiveX integration technology in the Enterprise Edition can handle even the most advanced integration challenges.


• Error and Event Handling—The Professional and Enterprise Editions of BarTender offer a variety of message handling features, including support for log files, automation exceptions, and Window event logs. The Enterprise Edition can even e-mail its messages.


• Print Job Logging—The Enterprise Edition can automatically generate attractively formatted reports detailing each print job and its results. This includes which label formats were used, the job start and stop times, and even the actual label data.


• Commander: Makes Custom Middleware Obsolete—The Enterprise Edition’s Commander utility allows programs that can’t directly control BarTender to launch label print jobs.
