It provides Touch, Mouse, and Pen (Microsoft Ink) interactions naturally, prints labels with data from Microsoft People’s app (Contacts API), and works well with Windows 11 Print capabilities. At the same time, it utilizes Windows 11 Desktop Extension SDK capabilities to print natively to Zebra Label Printers through Zebra Printer Language (ZPL). The app installs and auto-updates from Microsoft Store without any complex installer setups (typically seen in traditional archaic industrial applications). The app also executes strictly within app containers for maximum security.

Leading barcode software updates Windows 10 app to print labels with data stored in CSV and Excel files
ConnectCode, a world leading provider of barcode software and fonts, today announced the release of a new version (v11.1) of ConnectCode Barcode Software and Fonts.

The Label Wizard offers over 900 commonly used label templates including Price Labels, Address Labels, Inventory Tags, Business Cards and labels from well-known brands/vendors. After choosing a label template, the user can proceed to select the location of where their data is stored.

The latest version of Barcode & Label also supports applying functions to imported data. For example, functions to round a number, format to a currency or pad characters are supported.

It is important to note that different countries use different ways to format numbers. For example some countries use a dot to represent a decimal point while some countries use a comma to represent a decimal point. For currency, besides different currency symbols, different countries have different requirements such as the number of decimal points and the placement of the currency symbol. Barcode & Label adopts an in-depth approach of supporting all the different variations through a simple and elegant Location setting.

Leading barcode software provider updates UWP app to print labels with variable data entered at print time
ConnectCode, a world leading provider of barcode software and fonts, today announced the release of a new version (v10.9.5) of ConnectCode Barcode Software and Fonts. This version introduces new capabilities in the bundled Universal Windows Platform (UWP) Barcode & Label app to support printing of labels with variable data entered at print time.

When printing labels, a user often need to enter data only at print time. For example, a user may want to print a batch of labels with a specific product name and price, and then another batch of labels with a different product name and price. Barcode & Label supports this by allowing users to specify variable data at print time just before the print job is sent to the printer. The data entered can be specific to each individual label or used for a batch of labels. Both the Text and Barcode object in the app supports this data-at-print-time capability. Besides supporting variable data at print time, Barcode & Label also supports printing of labels with data in an Excel spreadsheet, contacts from Microsoft People's app or using a serialized running number.

Barcode & Label is a free and extremely popular Windows app that comes with a huge label stock database for creating Price Labels, Address Labels, Inventory Tags and Business Cards.
