BARZ_OUT Pro(TM) 5.0 Simplifies Bar Code Printing with CUPS, IPP and PostScript Support
Linux and UNIX users can easily add bar codes to documents and reports and output them to networked PostScript printers
Rochester Hills, MI -- November 8, 2005 - Unibar Inc. today released version 5.0 of its popular BARZ_OUT Pro(TM) bar code output software, which has several new features that make it easy for Linux and UNIX system users to print bar codes on documents and reports. BARZ_OUT 5.0 provides PostScript conversion so any PostScript-compatible printer can output bar codes without additional drivers, fonts, middleware or programming. BARZ_OUT Pro 5.0 also supports the CUPS (Common UNIX Printing System) standard and the Internet Printing Protocol (IPP). CUPS and IPP provide advanced output management, networking, printer discovery and remote configuration features and let BARZ_OUT Pro 5.0 users print from any version of Linux or UNIX.
"By adopting industry-leading standards and protocols, we've made it extremely easy for customers to include bar codes on documents and forms," said Unibar President Ted Kruse. "BARZ_OUT 5.0 eliminates traditional customization and support requirements and gives Linux and UNIX users an extremely cost effective and convenient way to print bar codes."
Using BARZ_OUT 5.0 as a print filter lets users simply choose the printer destination within their application (such as Oracle® Reports). BARZ_OUT 5.0 automatically converts text trigger sequences into PostScript®-compatible bar codes and the CUPS feature routes the print job to the selected printer, which outputs the bar coded document. With PostScript bar code output support, a separate thermal printer is not required to produce bar code labels.
BARZ_OUT Pro 5.0 also includes many other features to simplify bar code design and output. Users can add two- and five-digit supplements for U.P.C. symbols that companies to specify issue numbers and suggested retail pricing, encode UCC.EAN application identifiers, rotate bar codes, produce two-dimensional (2-D) symbologies and use XML-style bar code triggers up to 30 characters. The software retains popular text handling and application support features from earlier versions.
Evaluation versions of BARZ_OUT Pro 5.0 are available now by contacting Unibar's technical support department(techsupport@unibar.com). The full package will be available December 1, 2005 on Unibar's Web site, www.unibar.com/. The software supports Red Hat and SuSe Linux, IBM AIX, HP-UX, IRIX, Solaris and other platforms.
