EASYLABEL Advanced Formats,
Compliance Labels and Active X Programming Examples

Tharo Systems has created Industry Compliant Label Examples for the EASYLABEL product line. These label examples can be used as a starting point for any printer supported in EASYLABEL. These label examples are based on current specifications from their respected organizations.

– This format serves as a template for the Globally Harmonized System (GHS) specification. The zip file also includes a sample database and the two color pictograms.

– This format serves as a template for changing how the month appears in a date field. This format adds days to the system date to create an expiration date. The expiration date is then displayed with the name of the month in German.

– This format converts the hour (00 through 23) to a letter (A through X).

– This format displays 2 industry standard bar codes; the SSCC-18 and the Content barcode. The Content barcode contains the AI of ’02’ (contents of 14-digits) and ’37’ (variable quantity of 1-to-8 digits). This example bar code also contains a ‘best-used-by’ date (AI of 15, 6-digits long) and a variable Batch/Lot number of 1 to 20 characters (AI of 10). Because there are two variable length AI’s used, they must be separated by a &FCN1 character.

– Code 39 barcode with MOD9DR check digit.

– This label format computes a “Good Until” date and finds the date of Monday in the week that the “Good Until” date appears.

– This label format uses a sub-string calculation to convert characters into numbers.

– This label format generates text to match the numbers that are entered by the operator.

– This label format contains an ISBN/EAN barcode.

– This label format computes a special 1-2-1 top-weighted check digit for Canadian customers.

– This format contains a custom check digit for Code 39 that uses a weighted multiplier.

– An ingredients label that follows FDA (Food and Drug Administration) guidelines.

– This label format displays a 1, 2 or 3 depending on which shift the label is printed during.

– This label format calculates dates by adding months, not days.

– Formats to be used for Sato “e” series printers. The formats contain either UPC or EAN barcodes that demonstrate the customization of human readable interpretation.

– This format has two incrementing numbers. One will increment 1-3 and then start back at one. The other will only increment every third label. 1-1, 1-2, 1-3, 2-1, 2-2, 2-3, 3-1, etc. EASYLABEL 5 or higher is required for this format.

– This simple VB.NET example shows how to select, populate, preview, set a print quantity and print a label format.  It includes commented code, an example label format and an ActiveX programming guide for Easylabel.

– VB.NET and C# versions of the Active X example projects that demonstrate the functionality of EASYLABEL‘s Active X. Both VB.NET and C# examples are included in this one download.
