CODESOFT Changes and Grows with Your Business

TEKLYNX Subscription Licensing is available for CODESOFT and is a cost-effective option that
keeps your label design process running.

What if we need to create more complex labels?

CODESOFT is an advanced label design application that gives you the ability to easily design a label,
connect it to a database, or add complex barcodes such as HIBC or GS Databar using CODESOFT’s
intuitive interface.

What if our processes change?

With CODESOFT’s flexibility, you can easily integrate label printing and RFID technology into existing
and new business processes, increasing both efficiency and control. Adding CODESOFT to business
processes and training new personnel is simple with its intelligent interface, helpful wizards, and simple
database connections.

What if we change printer manufacturers?

CODESOFT supports over 2,500 industry-leading label printers and nearly any other printer where a
Windows driver exists. TEKLYNX drivers are developed directly with each printer manufacturer to
ensure true WYSIWYG (What You See Is What You Get), from onscreen design to the printed label.

What if our business grows?

The expandability provided by other TEKLYNX enterprise applications enables CODESOFT to
smoothly integrate into any level of enterprise solution as your business grows to require automated label
printing, label approval, and secure label storage.
CODESOFT - Unmatched ease of use
The most powerful bar code software for Enterprise environments is now the easiest to use. Whether you need to
design a label, connect to a database, or create complex bar codes such as HIBC or GS1 Databar, new Wizards in
CODESOFT make bar code label creation quick and easy.

Database Variables Wizard connects your label to a database with

two quick clicks.

TableLookup Wizard easily links your label to multiple databases

simultaneously.

Database Connection Wizard creates a database connection to the

most common databases (Access, Excel, SQL Server, Oracle, etc.).

Graphical Query Builder makes it easier to create simple or complex

database queries in a graphical way and includes a color syntax CODESOFT Interface
editor. For advanced users, the SQL mode is still available.

New Formula Wizard quickly builds a formula in just a few

mouse clicks.

HIBC and GS1 Databar Wizards easily create complex industry

standard bar codes.

Variable Filters use conditional queries, which allow you to change

your record set at any time by modifying variable values.

Expanded Image Library allows you to incorporate any image format

(.jpg, .bmp, .tif, .eps) into your label design.
Graphical Query Builder

Flexibility
Label Comparison Tool – With this tool, you can compare the details
of your label, such as:

• Objects and their properties

• Data sources and their properties
• Label/page format
• Document properties

A detailed report allows you to navigate between the differences

using a tree view.

Form Display - CODESOFT displays the label next to the variable Label Comparison Tool
data form so you can preview the label as you make changes. The
form can be resized and customized. Variables can be modified at
print time, all at once, or one by one.
Powerful Integration Features
CODESOFT offers the most powerful integration options in the industry – allowing you
unparalleled options to create custom printing interfaces and automate the label printing process.

DotNet Wrapper allows for seamless integration with products that use
different technologies. As more and more integration projects use the .NET
technology in either C# or VB.net - this new wrapper will make integration
easier for developers.

Integrators who develop in .NET now can chose between the CODESOFT
ActiveX interface or the CODESOFT .NET interface.

ActiveX Automation gives developers the ability to create and print labels
dynamically from their own applications by programming through .Net,
Windows Scripting, Visual Basic, Visual C, Delphi and many other languages.

OCX Component exports labels into external applications (for example,

Microsoft Word).
OCX Component
OCX Field lets you integrate an external OCX component (for example, a
clock or calendar) into a label and modify or edit its parameters.

Form Designer/Viewer makes it possible to create/view customer front-end

user interface screens for data entry and label printing.

Command File Interpreter (CFI) is an easy to use utility for printing labels
automatically.

Printer Object File (POF) helps you create and modify printer object files
through a user-friendly interface.

Cross-Compatibility
CODESOFT is fully compatible with other TEKLYNX enterprise applications
such as: HIBC and GS1 Databar Wizards

•SENTINEL – a server printing solution that automates the printing of

barcode, compliance or RFID labels created with CODESOFT Label
design software.

•LABEL ARCHIVE – software that provides you with a traceability layer for the label
design and printing process, including archiving, customizable approval rules, print history
and security for label design and production environments.

Unparalleled Printer Support

CODESOFT supports over 2,500 thermal/thermal transfer printers as well as any Windows-based printer.
With CODESOFT's high-speed, bi-directional drivers you can take advantage of every feature of your printer
to print large batches of labels in a very short time. With its intuitive interface, operators can easily specify
printer options including print speed, cut settings, real date/time stamps (ISO), etc.
