3 What you see is what you get label printing Optimal printing on any thermal printer Label production with NiceLabel can be performed using one or more printers, either local or network connected. Although any printer with a Windows driver can be used, specially developed NiceDrivers are optimized for high-quality, speed-efficient printing on industrial thermal label printers. To increase printing performance on graphic intensive labels, you can use NiceMemMaster, a font and graphics download utility for thermal printers. Label printing - your way! Label printing operators often stumble through the navigation of an over-featured user interface, which increases the frequency of errors when printing labels. This is where NiceForm a unique application generator of customized data entry forms, steps into action. Simplicity and speed of creation (requires no previous programming knowledge!) that includes advanced features such as data validation control, database connectivity, label preview and linked multiple form applications. Generated forms are used as stand-alone Windows applications and require no additional training to master. In addition, printing pre-designed labels is an easy task with NicePrint a simple and efficient printing application that provides a predesigned NiceForm type application. Create labels once and print them anywhere on the network with NicePrint. Customize your printing workflow by designing your own printing applications Mobile Wireless Label Printing NiceLabel offers Pocket NiceLabel, a truly unique mobile wireless label printing solution for Windows CE and Pocket PC mobile devices. Once the application resides on the mobile device, the print job can be routed to a thermal label printer via a serial port on the device, an Infrared (IR) port, direct TCP/IP port, Bluetooth virtual port or in combination with the NiceWatch centralized print server for a truly mobile distributed printing application. Design your labels once and just use NicePrint when printing is needed Multi-lingual printing Reaching global markets is now days one of the main reasons why companies are moving their production and orienting themselves to new market places. Many times labels must include more than just one language and combine printed information with Eastern European and Asian or Arabic languages. NiceLabel is offering you a complete Unicode based multi-lingual printing solution that enables you to create labels while reducing implementation and production costs.

4 Integration in ERP, WMS and Other Information Systems There are numerous ways to completely control the label printing process from your existing software applications. Using NiceLabel as a print-engine running in the background, application developers can call NiceLabel through a rich ActiveX or.net programming interface. You can even print labels directly from your SAP R/3 system utilizing NiceLabel only as a label design tool and printing without the need for a middle-ware solution. NiceWatch provides an affordable middle-ware solution when automated printing is required in a multi-operating system network or complex application environments. NiceWatch can monitor and detect data in many different formats to trigger the start of label production, without operator intervention. One of the most common scenarios involves writing data or command files from an ERP system to a shared network drive to be analyzed and processed for label printing. NiceWatch includes XML data filters for seamless label printing integration with Oracle WMS and MSCA. Even with all of this rich functionality, deployment is done in a quick and easy manner, requiring no extensive knowledge or training! NiceWatch Workflow RFID Radio Frequency Identification is a next step in the evolution of automatic identification and data collection industry.
