The following changes/additions have been made:

  1. Add Sign-In Screen to LabelCom

If “User Signon Required” in the EASYLABEL configuration, then

the LabelCom utility will require the user to enter a user name

and password. The user needs “Print Format” rights to be able

to use LabelCom.

  1. Arithmetic Calculation Decimal Places

Fixed a bug where intermediate values did not have enough

decimal places during evaluation, resulting in incorrect

final values. Intermediate values now use an extra 5 decimal

places of precision.

  1. Bottom of Character Cut Off in Stacked Text

In some cases of using stacked text, the bottom of the last

character may have been cut off when printed. This has been

fixed.

  1. More Than 255 Windows Printers Causes Lockup

If there were more than 255 printers installed in Windows,

EASYLABEL locked up when trying to start. This has been

corrected, but printers after the 255th are ignored and not

added to the configuration.

  1. Menu and Toolbar Mismatch

In the EASYLABEL DBF database editor, some of the menu items

and the corresponding toolbar icon had different enabled or

disabled states. This has been fixed.

  1. EASYLABEL DBF Database Editor

The database editor was missing some menu items. There was no

way to get to “Databse Structure Management” except by clicking

the toolbar icon. Once in structure management, there was no

menu item to get back to “Database Records Management”. This

has been corrected.

  1. Floating Toolbars Become Corrupted

Detaching one of the toolbars from the main screen and making

it a “floating” toolbar will sometimes cause the floating

toolbar to become corrupted, and the icons are no longer fully

visible. This has been corrected.

  1. Text Fields and Allergen Highlighting

Sometimes when editing a text field and using the allergen

highlighting feature, keyboard navigation of the text field

properties resulted in weird behavior. The “Allergen Examples”

message would appear multiple times and the window focus would

get lost. This has been corrected.

  1. Allergen Lists Folder

Added the ability to define alternate location of the allergen

list files.

  1. Send File to Printer

In the printer status screen of the EASYLABEL print queue,

there is a new button “Send File”. Clicking the send file

button allows the user to choose a file which is then sent

to the selected printer.

  1. Toolbar Display Problems

In very rare cases, the toolbars would not be drawn correctly

and would appear as all white. This has been fixed.

  1. Format Changed and Quit From Print Menu

When printing a label format thas has been changed but not

saved, if “File->Quit” is chosen then you are given the option

of saving the format, or quitting without saving, there is no

option to go back and do a “Save As”. This has been corrected.

  1. Create WibuKey Remote Context File

In the EASYLABEL “Help” menu it was possible to go though the

“Software Key Settings” to “Create Remote Context File” which

loaded the WibuKey control panel app. From there it was not

easy to create the context file. Now the “Create Remote

Context File” will automatically create the file on the users

desktop.

  1. Tharo MicroPDF Optimized

The Tharo printers H-427+, H-435+, H-627+, H-635+, T-4210,

T-4307, and T-4604 all support MicroPDF as an optimized printer

command. The option exists to send this symbol as a printer

command or as a graphic image.

  1. Default QR Code to Model 2

Creating a QR Code symbol defaulted the model code to 1, which

is old and not widely used. Changed the default to 2 which is

more recognized by modern scanners.

  1. Multi-Source Warning

When creating a multi-source text or barcode field, a message

was displayed that suggested the use of linked data

instead. This message is no longer displayed.

  1. Japan New Imperial Era

Implement proper date formatting for the New Imperial Era

which began on May 1st of 2019.

  1. System Wave KSW-BPH830i Missing Kanji Fonts

The font list for the System Wave KSW-BPH830i printer was

missing the built in Kanjo fonts. This has been corrected.

  1. Zebra Printer Pre-Scaled Fonts

For any Zebra printer that supported pre-scaled built in fonts,

the “Font” tab in the field properties was not correct and

showed options not allowed for those fonts. This has been

corrected.

  1. Excel Spreadsheets as Databases

Add direct support for using an Excel spreadsheet file as a

database. It is no longer necessary to go through the data

connection dialog to use this type of database. Simply select

the file and choose what data to be used for the field.

  1. Sato S84ex and S86ex

The Sato S84ex and S86ex had a problem where fields might not

print in the correct position. This has been fixed. The S84ex

now supports RFID. Both printers now support the PDF417

truncate option.

  1. Sato CL4NX and CL6NX

Added ability to use the enhanced real time clock commands on

both the Sato CL4NX and CL6NX series printers.
