The new print job manager module is available in the NiceLabel Pro and NiceLabel Suite editions. Compare this new module with the Windows spooler; however, the NicePrintQueue offers more control over network printers and more functionalities, for example For example, NicePrintQueue allows you to move a print job from an Avery to a Zebra printer. You would move the job to another printer if you see that some error appeared on the printer or the printer cannot cope with all printing jobs.

Enhanced Print Job Logging

NiceLabel Pro offers a printing log file that enables the application to remember all printing actions and values of the variable data fields used on the label. The following information is stored:

Reprint Labels

NiceLabel Pro version 5 supports reprint of labels in the following ways: Because all of the data is stored in the log database, you can easily review what was printed. You can also reprint the print jobs from the past. If you, for some reason, need to print the same labels again, you can simply select the print job from the list and select which labels from which job to print (all or selected labels). NiceLabel creates a proper print file for the selected printer with the data coming from the log file.

NiceLabel goes even one step further and allows you to reprint the labels to an entirely different printer. You can select your target printer just before you click the reprint button. NiceLabel will generate the labels for the selected printer and use the same data as during the first printing.

Nothing is easier than re-printing a label with NiceLabel Pro version 5!

New Label Export Features

Export label to an image file

NiceLabel Pro version 5 supports exporting a label to a selected graphic file format such as JPG, BMP, GIF, PNG and more. This is a useful documentation feature when you need to send the label to another person for approval and the other person does not have NiceLabel software installed. Just go to FILE > EXPORT > EXPORT TO GRAPHICS… in the menu list and select the graphic file format of your choice.

Configurable export

Export Label to PrintSystem

Export Label to Print System

NiceLabel Pro supports label export in numerous ways. In most cases a meta print file is generated. The meta print file contains the printer commands for the target printer where the placeholders of the variable fields are identified with special markers. The application or printer can easily identify the markers and replace them with the actual data that must print on the label. In past versions, these markets were predefined in NiceLabel and could not be configured.

In NiceLabel Pro version 5 you can now configure these markers to suite your requirements. No longer must you adapt to the exported label; now you can add your print system to the export wizard and adjust the syntax of the exported label to match your application.

Just go to FILE > EXPORT > PRINTER TEMPLATE EXPORT CONFIGURATION and define the set of definitions that determine how markers are replaced in the export stream for your print system.
