The easiest, most powerful system available for design and printing of labels and bar codes.
In the labeling industry, EASYLABEL® FOR WINDOWS has no equal. No other
label design software package has been copied so often and inspired
literally dozens of imitations. While you are in the process of looking
at the available labeling software packages, chances are our
competitors will compare themselves to EASYLABEL as well. One thing is
certain. EASYLABEL has become the standard by which all packages are
measured.
WHAT IS EASYLABEL?
EASYLABEL FOR WINDOWS is a product identification and bar code labeling
software package that enables you to custom design your own labels, on
demand, quickly and easily. EASYLABEL makes it easy for you to print
graphics, bar codes, text, lines and boxes to any number of supported
bar code thermal/thermal transfer printers, as well as dot matrix,
laser and ink jet printers.
With it's WYSIWYG (What You See Is What You Get) interface, designing
labels is extremely fast and accurate, saving you time and money in
label production. And, once the label is designed, you have the
flexibility to print thousands of the same label or you can print
individual, unique labels by reading information from a database file.
WHY IS EASYLABEL BETTER?
Simply stated, EASYLABEL is easier. Unlike the "bargain" packages,
EASYLABEL includes every conceivable method of making label design
easy, fast and accurate. You don¹t have to be computer literate to
solve complex labeling requirements. The goal of EASYLABEL is to make
you productive, successful and more effective. Basically, it does all
the hard work, so you don't have to. With the shortest learning curve
in the industry, you'll be making labels faster with EASYLABEL than
with any other package available.
MOST LABELING PACKAGES ARE INEXPENSIVE, UNTIL YOU USE THEM
Many users like yourself are tired of months of frustration with label
design software only to find they really need another package. The
truly distinctive feature of EASYLABEL is that you¹ll never need
another label design package again. As your needs change, EASYLABEL
will change and grow with you.
THERE¹S A WORLD OF EXPERIENCE IN EVERY EASYLABEL PACKAGE
With over 100,000 installations worldwide of Tharo Systems' products,
and 30,000 of EASYLABEL alone, we are experienced in the unique and
diverse applications of our customers in more than 70 countries. In
many cases we have helped write the specifications that are in use
today, and quite possibly, the specifications that you intend to follow
in your own labeling application. Regardless of your labeling needs,
specifications or compliance applications, EASYLABEL has already been
there. There is no specification in the world that EASYLABEL does not
meet, from the most simple, to demanding, high-stress applications,
including compliance labeling, shipping, receiving, manufacturing,
inventory control, work-in-process, quality assurance and document
tracking. And many, many more.
EASYLABEL PAYS FOR ITSELF
You get immediate gratification with EASYLABEL because it pays you back
quickly through lower label inventory, less waste due to label
obsolescence and the elimination of expensive pre-printed labels.
ONLY EASYLABEL GIVES YOU THESE FEATURES
- Print
Queue - Unlike other programs that use Windows' Print Manager,
EASYLABEL features a unique Print Queue that gives you the ability to
manage your label printing jobs like no other program! In a production
situation, you can stage up to 200 printing jobs and modify their
priority for complete flexibility. Set up an entire day's production at
the start of a shift! The Print Queue provides an accurate picture of
your print job status by showing the number of labels yet to be
printed. And you can also save all non-printing jobs in the Print Queue
or future use even if you exit EASYLABEL. Only EASYLABEL gives you
these powerful production features!
- Multitasking -
Design and create labels, modify the Print Queue, manage your database
records, while driving from 1-96 printers simultaneously from a single
PC (number varies per printer model). Most other competitive software
packages only allow you to drive up to 4 printers from one PC!
GREATER VERSATILITY FOR YOUR SPECIFIC APPLICATIONS
- EASYLABEL FOR
WINDOWS was developed with features that solve your often complex
requirements, with benefits like enhanced arithmetic capabilities,
format specific serial numbers, the ability to list your format
specifications to a laser or dot matrix printer for archival purposes,
printing text and bar codes based on a condition and custom formatting
a date stamp.
- Consecutive Numbering - for production
or shipping control as well as serialized plates and ID tags. EASYLABEL
supports incrementing and decrementing in numeric, alphanumeric,
alphabetic, hexadecimal and octal. You can also create your own custom
increment sequences for your proprietary numbering system.
- Easily create "Sell By Dates" for food and drug labeling.
- Foreign
Languages - EASYLABEL is available in Chinese, Czech, Dutch, Finnish,
French, German, Italian, Japanese, Slovenian and Spanish with others
being added all the time.
- Display detailed file
information by enabling EASYLABEL's "Info" button. The "Info" button
allows you to view important file information such as the last
modification of the file, the size of a file and the printer for which
the file was created. A user comment field is also displayed. For
database files, the number of fields and records are shown.
ADVANCED DATABASE AND FILE MANAGEMENT
- Database
Manager - for customer or parts list storage to be used as input for
your label formats. Eliminates the errors of incorrectly keyed
information.
- Unique database - special words perform
special functions to lower overall error rates, such as FMTNAME, which
allows you to designate a specific format to be used with this database
record. Prevents you from printing incorrect formats. This function
will actually pull up the correct format to be used.
- dBASE®
II, III, III+, IV and ASCII text files from another computer system can
be read directly as a Source of Data for label printing. When using our
internal database, you have the ability to retrieve any record in less
than two seconds! Competitive products can take up to ten minutes to
accomplish the same task!
- Client/Server Labeling -
through open database connectivity (ODBC) support. ODBC is a Microsoft®
Windows® interface for accessing remote data in a variety of database
management systems. An operator using EASYLABEL FOR WINDOWS has the
capability of importing information directly into a label format from
any database accessible from their system, including files created by
Oracle®, Informix(tm), Paradox®, Btrieve®, Microsoft Access®, AS/400®
or any other database for which an ODBC driver exists (the ODBC driver
must be acquired separately).
- EASYLABEL's database
capabilities provide a powerful and flexible system for handling many
different types of variable data, such as text, graphics and external
text files.
- With EASYLABEL, you can also have a
specific incrementing serial number embedded in a database field. This
allows each record to have a unique serial number. When printing a
format, this serial number is automatically updated by EASYLABEL.
ENHANCED LABEL DESIGN CAPABILITIES
EASYLABEL FOR WINDOWS was developed to enhance and speed up your label
design tasks. Our "ruler" on the design screen speeds up format layout.
Functions like Group Move of Fields, Rotate Picture, Change Format
Orientation, custom spacing of text and support for TrueType fonts
(including the ability to adjust height and width of TrueType fonts
independently) allows you to design, test print, proof and print labels
faster and better than ever!
- Slanted and
Circular Text Field Orientations - provides the user with the ability
to print text fields in a circular orientation, where the characters
are printed on a curve, or in a slanted orientation where the
characters are printed on an angle. The circular orientation can be of
benefit with round or curved labels. The availability of circular and
slanted text field orientations varies depending on the printer used.
- Circle,
Ellipse, Shading, Boxes and Lines, Arrows and Polygons - give added
label design capabilities for those users needing to add special fields
without creating a separate graphic. The availability of these special
fields vary based on the printer used.
- Variable
Picture - saves time by allowing you to define a single format and
bring in the correct picture along with other database information.
- Paragraph
- Paragraphs can be defined so that the information is read from an
external file or like Variable Picture, you can define a single format
and bring in the correct text based on a database record. This is ideal
for formats that require a lot of text, like food ingredients, product
descriptions, or hazardous materials warning information. You also have
the ability to underline, italicize, embolden and superscript
characters, words and phrases within the paragraph.
- For high resolution pictures, you can use any software capable of creating a PCX, BMP, TIFF, WMF or EPS file.
- Make
labels faster and easier with true, time saving features like an Undo
Function to reverse the most recent editing or formatting action,
Viewing or Changing a field with a simple mouse click and the ability
to bypass the label preview screen when printing a label.
POWERFUL PROGRAMMING FLEXIBILITY
- Command File
Monitoring - provides seamless integration of printing labels in real
time automatically from another computer system. With EASYLABEL's
Command File Monitoring, or 'Watchdog' configuration, you have the
ability to easily pass variable data to fill in fields on the label.
- Dynamic
Data Exchange (DDE) - saves time! An operator running another
application that supports DDE can use EASYLABEL's print functions and
directly communicate with EASYLABEL to print labels.
GAIN MORE CONTROL WITH EASYLABEL
- Manager
Functions - Our expanded Manager Functions allow for greater control
and security. Passwords can be mandated and accessibility restricted to
one or more of EASYLABEL's main menu options.
- Data
Validation - Increase label accuracy, reduce human errors, labor costs
and label waste by controlling operator-entered data. Data can be
verified before it is placed on the label.
- Customized Label Printed Reports - provides tighter control over your label production.
- Print to File - allows the user to capture printer commands to a file to be used as a tool to create custom programs.
- LABELCOM
Program - LABELCOM allows printing to be triggered by any external
serial communications device such as a bar code scanner or scale. A
System Integrator's dream!
