5.1.00.4306

  • Solved problem with multi-thread printing (sometimes the stream is not correct).

5.0.05.4297

  • QR barcode is supported on DPL printers.Prefix and suffix enabled for counters.

5.0.03.4183

  • Date offset is now supported on RTC for DPL printers. Offset is set in days.The limitation is one RTC variable with offset on the label.Offset does not work with time variable because of printer firmware limitation.

  • Update solves problems when printing color images with transparent color from Windows applications (for instance PNG image with transparent color). We tested several Word applications, but the problem was observed only with Word 2007 (with all updates installed). The symptom is that images were converted in one color and that colors were not converted correctly (usually all colors were converted to one color - black).

4.6.78.3865

4.6.76.3766

  • When doing Export to SAP from labeling software the line with variable definition should not be present, like it is when doing Export to printer.This is corrected now.

4.6.76.3764

  • Empty graphics are no longer sent when "Force graphic optimization" switch is turned on.

4.6.76.3763

  • New printers BSP61 62L, BSP61 62R, BSP61 34L and BSP61 34R were added to Brady printer driver distribution.

4.6.72.3647

  • German translation for Tear Off Distance was Abrißabstand, which was wrong. We corrected this translation to Abrisskante.

4.6.71.3635

  • Date and time fileds are supported in GS1 barcode on ZPL printers. New date formats were added.

4.6.69.3612

  • Driver update didn't preserve settings for all installed printers. This is fixed now.

4.6.69.3581

  • DPL Vector fonts (CG Times, CG Triumvirate) printed from other Windows applications and not from labeling software were positioned wrong. This is corrected now.

4.6.67.3555

  • RTC is now supported inside EAN-128 barcode on EPL printers.

4.6.67.3533

  • Operation mode now supports a new option called "Stream".

4.6.67.3524

  • Barcode verification options were added to printer driver.

4.6.67.3516

  • New image optimization option added to printer driver.

4.6.66.3658

4.6.66.3436

  • Obsolete monitor.inf files were removed from drivers that still had them

4.6.66.3392

  • Removed warning message for special ports, when installing printer driver with Printer Installation Wizard.If connected to standard Windows TCP/IP port then show warning message.

4.6.66.3379

  • Error message shows when doing Export to RedPrairie or General Export and on the label UPC or Postnet barcode was used.

4.6.65.3370

  • Added safe graphic printing option as a solution to graphics printing over each other on TSPL printers.

4.6.65.3360

  • Printer error detailes were missing while printing. The status reporting issue was limited to NicePrintQueue, Enterprise Print Manager(EPM) and NiceLabel.:p

4.6.64.3290

  • Advanced TCP/IP port monitor now supports connections to names as well as IP addresses.

4.6.64.3284

  • UPC-A is sent without check digit to the ZPL printer, because printer add the check digit by itself.UPC-E has been already work in this way. The reason is that old ZPL printers take the last 11 digits for data and not first 11 digit (of 12) for data.

4.6.64.3257

  • Gap value maximum increased to maximum printer supported value (1 meter)

4.6.64.3252

  • Support for PDF417, QR, MaxiCode and Datamatrix barcode added.

4.6.62.3170

  • If user sets the RFID transponder offset in the printer setup, this could cause a problem with the printer because the offset causes, that much of the label does not get printed whenever the elements is sent after the RFID command. Everything that is send before the RFID command, prints fine. Now we have change the print stream, that RFID command is always the last of all elements. In this case there is no problems with the print getting cut off.:p

4.6.62.3156

  • Custom settings for unprintable now work correctly

4.6.62.3142

  • When doing "Export to printer", user must enter variable values and print quantity at once!! But the label format should be just stored to the printer, and then when recalling the label the variable value and print quantity needs to be entered.
  • When doing Export to Printer now user have to variants: Export to Printer and Export to File. Exporting to file needs the printer connected to port FILE and in this case the label file is different and could be used then on printer's memory slot CF or USB for recall format.

4.6.61.3091

  • Cutting and perforation should now work correctly when using variable data in labels.

4.6.59.3036

  • Printers with CAB programming language support now also internal counters on barcode elements.

4.6.52.2829

  • In old driver peel and dispense option didn't work if label present sensor check box wasn't checked. This is corrected now. If user selects peel or dispense, label present sensor check box is automatically checked.

4.6.52.2819

  • When user export label format to printer, it is prompt now every time for quantity number. Before this change the format has been printed unlimited (9999) if you select the label format from memory card.

4.6.51.2800

  • Czech, Lithuanian and Ukrainian languages are now supported also in all NiceDrivers.

4.6.51

  • Wrong command is used for locking RFID tag.

4.6.48.2645

  • Added Aztec and GS1 Datamatrix barcodes. GS1 Datamatrix barcode works from NiceLabel version greater than 5.2.2865. Please check also your printer's firmware version if support these barcodes.

  • Memory slots correction for P4T and RP4T. Only Flash RAM is available from now on.

4.4.68

  • Optimized driver printing

4.4.67

  • Implementation of Rfid Read and store for ZPL printers
  • Fixed IMG compression for wide graphics

4.4.66

  • There is possible in ZPL to print counter without leading zeros. This can be done with NL communication because this setting should driver get from NL.
  • Now user don't need to create a start value of "001" to count from 1..999 on ZPL printers with printer's internal counter, but can set just "1" and counter will not stay at just one digit like before. But user have to set in this case tha maximum length of counter to 3 ! In this case leading zero's will not be printed, so if you want leading zero's you still have to imput 001 for example.WYSIWYG for non-leading zero's counters is not accurate because the printer gets the maximum counter length data and this can not be improved.

4.4.65

  • Export label to printer works now correctly also for prompted variables,

  • Changed file info for Printer Install Wizard
  • Default value for Always use default settings is not correct when instaling it the driver with a configuration file attached.
