Loftware, Inc.
LLM-WIN32 Label Design Software
LLM-WIN32 comes with a graphical Label Desiger (WYSIWYG),
a new GM 1724A Barcode Wizard,
a group of powerful barcode printing modules for On-Demand,
Batch and Range printing and a large family of supported barcode
thermal/thermal transfer and Windows printers.
The
Loftware Label Manager lets users design and print bar code production
labels in both stand-alone and enterprise environments! Advanced features
of the Loftware Label Manager allow an unlimited number of users at an
affordable price, to design label formats across LAN/WAN and Internet
networks operating in NT 4.0 Terminal Server, Windows 2000 Server with
Terminal Server and Citrix Metaframe environments. One concurrent User
License comes standard with each edition permitting the sharing of up to 4
network attached bar code or Windows printers.
Additional features include Loftware's ActiveX System Control, for
integrating bar code printing into third party Windows applications and
native printing support that extends the printing capability into multiple
international languages. The Loftware Label Manager quickly meets the
demand requirements for existing and new label compliance requirements
like UPS' new Compressed MaxiCode Smart Label, GM's 1724 label format or
the telecommunications industries new TCIF labeling specification. The
purchase of the Loftware Label Manager includes a one year renewable
Support Contract, which features on-going software upgrades and unlimited
technical support from Loftware's Technical Support Call Center.
LLM-WIN32 delivers a sophisticated, yet easy to use Graphical User
Interface (GUI) for designing "out of the box" labeling systems with no
programming required! Loftware's native printer drivers are designed specifically
for each individual printer in order to take advantage of the printers
internal features as well as to maximize performance. LLM-WIN32 includes
four powerful design and printing modules plus an ActiveX control designed
to help you get your labeling system up and running quickly. These modules
along with the control are explained below.
Label Design Mode: Easily design a label format using the
intuitive Label Design Mode. Place and size barcodes, text, line, box and
graphic fields onto the designer screen. Select one field or a group of
fields on your label and instantly view and/or change field properties.
Dynamically select and edit Native and True Type fonts, barcode
symbologies, densities, ratios, and specialized check digits. Quickly and
easily define field names, input prompts, operator instructions, help
text, non-printing fields, and field positions. Directly assign variable
field data sources with a double click of the mouse. Create and edit
multiple types of Data sources, for example: Serial Number, Database-Key,
Database-Data, Date/Time, Formula, Keyboard, and a wide variety of
others.
Create a New Label with Ease!
New
Label Wizard: The first time you open design mode in Loftware, the
New Label Wizard is displayed, allowing you to create a new label,
open a compliance label template for custom editing, or open a
pre-existing label.

Configuring Your Printers is a SNAP!
The New Printer
Configuration Wizard in Version 7x - Configuring
printers has never been easier than it is in Loftware Version 7x. There are
two fast methods available, the Printer Configuration Wizard, or the Printer
Configuration Grid. Either way you go, your target printer is set up in
seconds. Choose your printer "family" (manufacturer), the model, and the
type of connection you are using (i.e., TCP/IP) and away you go!
Need to print a label in Chinese?
The New Language Properties
Wizard in Version 7x allows the printing of any Language - If you do not
have a printer that is capable of printing double-byte fonts such as Korean,
Japanese, or other Asian Languages, they can still be sent to your printer
as a bitmap...AND, the big news is, you can have as many languages as you
want all on the same label, because you can now create a foreign language
field on your label individually. Of course, if you have a printer that
supports double-byte fonts, you may utilize them natively in Loftware.
Unlimited design for increased efficiency!
Support for Terminal Server and Citrix Metaframe:
Design label formats across LAN/WAN and Internet networks operating in NT
4.0 Terminal Server, Windows 2000 Server with Terminal Server and Citrix
Metaframe environments. One concurrent User Llicense comes standard with
each edition permitting the sharing of up to 4 network attached barcode or
Windows printers.
*Terminal Server User Seats refers to the
number of individual users that may be logged onto a Windows Terminal Server
or Citrix Metaframe environment. Terminal Server Seats are based on
concurrency; if one user logs out, that license becomes available to another
user. User seats for additional print stations are easily added by
specifying part number 04225732-AUS and quantity.
Print On-Demand Fast!
On-Demand Print Module: A customizable
operator data entry screen is automatically created while you design your
label. This form becomes the data entry screen for all "On-Demand" printing
tasks. To print labels, simply click on the On-Demand Printing icon, open a
label form and fill in the variable fields from the keyboard or retrieve
your data directly from your database. Print labels to local printers or
printers on your network. The On-Demand Print Client has the advantage of
being "thin". It is not necessary to install software or configure printers
on each individual workstation to perform printing tasks. Thin printing
clients lower the labor costs associated with administrative and maintenance
of individual desktop PCs. Databases, label formats and other vital
information is centrally maintained.
Easily integrate Loftware with your
applications!
ActiveX 32-Bit Programming Control:
Programmers developing in 32-bit languages supporting ActiveX Controls can
easily interface Loftware's bar code printing modules directly into their
own applications. The Loftware ActiveX System control diminishes the level
of knowledge and expertise required to connect and print to stand-alone and
networked bar code label printers. 32-bit development languages, such as
Visual Basic, Delphi, Access, Power Builder, Visual C++, etc. can utilize
the power of the ActiveX System Control. Unlike the Loftware Client Control,
which is used as an interface to the Loftware Print Server (LPS) product,
the System Control described here, requires that the Loftware Subsystem be
installed. In other words, the control that comes with Loftware Label
Manager has a large footprint, while the LPS Client Control is "thin". Refer
to our LPS product if you are interested in client/server technology where
the control has a "thin" footprint.
Note: Loftware has two ActiveX Controls, The
"System Control" and the "Client Control". The System Control comes standard
with the LLM-WIN32 product. The Client Control comes with the LPS product
and is used in conjunction with the Lofware Print Server. Easily access the
Loftware Print Engine from your own applications.
Query Assistant lets you specify
your range of labels..
The Range
Print Module allows a range of labels to be printed from any
ODBC32-compliant database using a pre-defined, or dynamic SQL query. Ranges
can also be specified by using the "Query Assistant" which can eliminate the
need to know SQL.
Print one label or a group of
labels!
Batch Print
allows the processing of ASCII batch files created from a PC or host
computer. Print one label, or a group of labels to a single or group of
printers on a network. Batch Print can also access ODBC32 data sources
either exclusively or mixed in with data provided in the file.
