Based on the Brother b-PAC sampe code, this is a simple program which prints barcodes -- using either a GUI or the CLI.
- A compatible printer; I use a Brother QL710W
- Microsoft Windows
- The b-PAC client component; install 32- and 64-bit
Download the latest release, unzip it, run BarcodePrint.exe, edit the fields, and hit "Print".
BarcodePrint.exe title barcode [timestamp = dd.mm.yyyy hh:mm] [copies = 1]
Note:
[title]and[barcode]are required, optionally enclosed in quotes.[title]can be any string[barcode]will be converted to a Code 128 barcode[timestamp]is optional and defaults to the current date and time, but can be any string-[copies]is optional and defaults to 1.
Every label roll has a different media ID and to print there has to be a file named [media ID].lbx in the same folder as BarcodePrint.exe. To figure out what your current media ID is, open the GUI version, and hit print. If your media ID is supported, a barcode will print, otherwise you'll see an error message telling you which media ID is currently in the printer.
