HOW IT WORKS:
1. Your Host or System Creates a Data File.
The data file serves two purposes:
1) it includes the variable information for bar code labels and; 2) it initiates the request to SENTINEL. Data files can be reports, printer code, structured data (XML), ASCII data or redirected printer output.
2. SENTINEL "Watches" for the Data.
SENTINEL Print Pack S//3 receives data by watching a directory or printer queue for files/data sent there from the host.
3. SENTINEL Processes the Data.
SENTINEL maps the data to a label design based on a predefined configuration.
4. SENTINEL Prints the Label.
Using the CODESOFT print engine, labels can be printed to any thermal or Windows printer.
