    What's New in SmartCodeStudio Version 2.0

    MultiPart UCC/EAN barcode

    Multiple Application Identifiers (AI) and their data fields can be combined into a single UCC/EAN barcode. When a variable-length data field is combined with other fields in a bar code, it must be immediately followed by a field separator character FNC1. SmartCodeStudio introduces the "table" like user interfaces to allow you to easily create multipart UCC/EAN 128 barcodes. The FNC1 character will also be automatically inserted according to the industry specifications.

    QR Code

    Designed by Denso in Japan, QR (Quick Response) Code is a 2 dimensional general-purpose matrix designed for fast scanning of information. As QR efficiently encodes Kanji characters, it is a popular symbology in Japan. QR Code is also gaining popularity with mobile phones. Now you can encode QR Code (including Kanji characters) in SmartCodeStudio. All 40 versions including Auto-mode, Error Correction Levels (L,M,Q,H) and Masks(0..7) are supported in SmartCodeStudio.

    Link Fields Functions

    Link Fields allow you to combine several different fields together for the generation of barcode and text. The different fields are derived from various datasource such as database, counter or keyboard input. This allows much flexibility for creating labels with variable data. SmartCodeStudio Version 2.0 improves on this capability by allowing you to apply functions to these fields. The following lists the commonly used functions that can be applied.

    • LeftPad
    • RightPad
    • Length
    • UpperCase
    • LowerCase
    • Trim
    • Left
    • Right
    • Mid

    RFID Logos

    All AIMS compliant RFID Logos are now supported in the Toolbox of SmartCodeStudio. With the unique One-Touch feature from SmartCodeStudio, you can easily drop any of the RFID logos into your labels.

    Database Creation

    Many users have been using the Access database bundled with SmartCodeStudio to store temporary data. The records stored in these database are pulled from their ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning) or exported from their domain applications. SmartCodeStudio Version 2.0 has made this easier by allowing you to create your own Access Database from within SmartCodeStudio. A Database Fields Editor is also available to assist the specification of the Field Types.

    White on Black Text

    White on Black Text is now available from the One-Touch Toolbox, improving your productivity and saving you time in the creation of labels.

    One-Touch Database

    SmartCodeStudio is one of the few Barcode Software that supports Multiple Concurrent Database. This support has now been extended to the One-Touch Toolbox.

    Setup SmartCodeStudio to connect to your Enterprise Database and choose the appropriate appropriate tables to be added to the One-Touch Toolbox. The fields from the selected tables will be added to the Toolbox as shown in the screenshot above. These fields can then be dragged and dropped into the labels for the creation of Text or Barcode.

    Integration/Automation

    You can now automate SmartCodeStudio by launching it with command line parameters in the DOS prompt. This allows third party programs to launch SmartCodeStudio from their software environments. The following options are supported:

    • Print specific labels to a printer or to a printer compliant PRN file.
    • Specify number of labels to print.
    • Specify the Start position of label within page.
    • Shift the printout horizontally or vertically.
    • Specify the Printing order.
    • Specification of Cropmarks.
    • Specification of SQL (Structured Query Languages) to select the records to be printed.

    Additional Integration Capabilities - SmartCommander

    With SmartCommander/SmartCodeStudio, a label design can be split into a Template File and a Data File. The Template file specifies the layout and design of the label while the Data file provides the data for the different text fields or barcodes in the label. With the Template defined, users can use their own application software (eg. in Java, .Net, Mainframes) to generate the corresponding Data File. Using both Template and Data files, SmartCommander will be able to route the label printout to the appropriate printer or generate a printer specific PRN file.

    SmartCommander can also be configured to detect data files from specific directories. After reading the Data File, SmartCommander will combine it with the previously designed Template File. The final output is then routed to a Network printer or saved to a printer compliant PRN file.

    Note : A PRN file is a special type of file which contains instructions for a printer, it tells the printer what to print on the page and where as well as which paper tray to use, what the paper size is and a number of other controls.

    Fixes in this Build

    • Printing of Round Shaped Labels with certain printers might caused SmartCodeStudio to crash. This has been fixed with this latest build.
    • Running the software in European locale will no
    • longer affect the dimensions of the label.
