The Service Pack 26.004 has some new features and various improvements for you. We give you an overview of what’s new and what has improved.
Barcode
Full GS1 Barcode Application Identifier AI Support With List & Label
GS1 defines a huge range of application identifiers that can be used to encode certain information in a barcode. Besides the Global Trade Item Number (GTIN), which is usually the most important part, the production date, packaging component number, count of items and many more application identifiers (AIs) are defined.
Support for MicroPDF417 and Codablock-F. Barcodes
List & Label’s barcode support is surely one of the best and most complete among the reporting tools on the market. We’ve been steadily working on further extending on that strength, and List & Label 22 will come with even more supported symbologies and barcode designer functions.
Four Steps We Took to Improve Our Barcode Printing Quality
Through a cooperation with REA, a renown vendor of barcode verifiers, we were able to grade and improve our barcodes according to the usual ISO standards. Amongst other optimizations we completely changed the rendering algorithm to optionally match the bars exactly to the device pixels, eliminating all rounding effects this way. Typically, at least a grade of "B" is required by barcode consuments. This should now be easily achievable on typical hardware.
