Why do you interface with Dymo Label Printers and not all other label printers?

Please Note: All of our programs can already print mailing labels using a standard printer with any label stock. Our inventory programs can also print product labels with bar codes.

A product must excite us in order for us to develop an interface to that technology. Dymo (dymo.com) excited us for several reasons. They have developed a printer that can print mailing labels and postage. As many of our customers run small businesses, their solution intrigued us. They offer a package which allows you to buy US Postal Service postage over the internet, weigh your package on the included scale, and print a stamp for the exact postage required and print a mailing label using their software and printer. Think about all of the benefits this offers your business. No more running to the Post Office every day or over-paying for postage with regular stamps!

Our interface to the Dymo Label Printer will allow you to print customer and vendor mailing labels. We do not interface to print bar codes. If you want to print bar code labels, use our built-in Label Wizard to batch print bar code labels. The Dymo does not batch-print bar codes.

Do you have bar code scanner support? Can I print bar codes?

Yes to both. Our Inventory Software can print bar codes on invoices and labels using the setup features in our software found on the Bar Code Tab. Everything you need to do this is already contained in our software. If you also have a scanner, you can scan those bar codes into the line items of your invoices and PO's. Simply print out product labels with the bar codes and place them on your products. When you sell a product, scan it into a line item on your invoice.

Our program will work with any scanner and there are no settings in our programs for scanner "setup", as all scanners do are scan a code and send that code to the application with a carriage return. Scanners usually plug into a special cable which hooks into your computer keyboard or USB port. Once you have a scanner hooked up to your computer, you can actually scan bar codes into a simple text editor (or any other program which is waiting for you to type something). There is nothing special about using a scanner on your computer, so select a scanner which is right for you and you'll be ready to go!
