In brief
The server is installed once per network and holds the catalog, templates and barcodes. The client goes on each workstation — one Windows installer. For testing, download the client from the Demo page.
28 scale protocols: CAS, Mettler Toledo, Massa-K, Shtrih-M, Tenso-M, Mertech, Keli, Yaohua, AXIS, Dibal, A&D, indicators with Modbus and continuous ASCII. Connect over RS-232 / USB-COM or TCP/IP; «Find scales» locates a scale on the COM ports by itself and connects it. A built-in scale emulator lets you set up without hardware.
Any thermal printers: over the network (TCP/IP, port 9100), cable (COM) or the Windows driver. You can assign separate printers for unit, box and pallet labels.
Download and install the client, open Settings → "Demo mode". Sample products and label templates load in — printing works with no server and no license.
A license is bound to the server by machine_id. Copy the machine_id on the server (Settings → License), get a license, receive a .lpl file and install it on the server — activation with no restart.
EAN-13/8, UPC, Code 128/39, ITF, QR, Data Matrix, PDF417, Aztec and GS1 — with automatic check-digit calculation. A GS1 builder for application identifiers (01)(17)(10)…
The server pushes data to stations online and collects output reports in real time. With no network, data is exchanged in protected .lpi / .lps / .lpr files on a USB drive.
Updates online or from a file, with a backup of the database and settings and a rollback to the previous version.
