Product Description

The BarDIMM Box is an intelligent barcoding solution that connects to HP-compatible printers and allows for easy barcode printing from SAP, ERP, Unix and Windows applications.

Suitable for use with any PCL5e USB or LAN printer, the BarDIMM Box can be quickly connected to your network, or directly to a USB printer. You can use it to quickly and efficiently print 1D or 2D barcodes on documents output by Windows, SAP R/3 or ECC, Oracle or custom applications.

BarDIMM Box brings BarDIMM technology to all PCL5e compatible printers, so that you can quickly and accurately print barcodes from any printer equipped with USB or LAN connectivity.

Please note, BarDIMM Box is a hardware solution that supports one printer, via a USB or network connection. If you need to print barcodes from more than one printer, you may need to acquire more BarDIMM Box units. You could also consider opting instead for BarSTORM, an intelligent print server with BarDIMM technology inside that is capable of printing barcodes from up to fifty different networked printers.

Intelligent barcoding

Unlike some barcode solutions, which merely add fonts to a PC or printer, BarDIMM Box actually extends the PCL5e language with its own innovative barcoding language which has been adopted by many industry leaders such as SAP. Barcode formatting, error detection and checksum calculation are performed by the box, reducing the load on the host. Barcodes can be printed in almost any size or rotation, bar width and height. Caption text can be embedded in the bars or printed above or below the bars in a variety of fonts and sizes.

More than 80 barcode types, scalable, 1D and 2D

BarDIMM Box adds all the barcoding intelligence to your hp LaserJet with more than 80 barcode types, from the simplest 1D barcodes to the most complex and recent 2D barcodes. No programming is required to print professional barcodes: the printer does the job automatically, from checking and compressing incoming data, calculating checksum, to writing text under or above the bars. Furthermore, it features OMR codes for folding/inserting mailroom machines as well as an extensive list of fully scalable manufacturing, safety and Euro currency symbols used by most companies.

Works natively with SAP R/3, SAP ECC, ERPs

BarDIMM Box is Plug&Play with many ERP applications, including SAP R/3 and ECC. It is also usable from Oracle, Peoplesoft or JD Edwards or any ERP generating PCL5elanguage for HP LaserJet printers.

Support

Barcoding from Windows

BarDIMM Box is Plug&Play with most Windows applications, using activation through special TrueType fonts. Including a barcode in a document is as easy as selecting a new font in your Windows application (Word, Excel, MS-Access…): just install special TrueType fonts in Windows to activate the barcode generation in the printer. There is no software to load or to buy for PCs and data is converted to barcodes inside the printer, saving a significant amount of network bandwidth. This is both cheaper and safer as barcodes are generated at very high resolution by the printer engine and not as a raster image by the Windows driver.

Barcoding from other systems

Barcoding from any other system such as Unix or mainframes is also available by inserting barcoding commands in PCL5 flows or ASCII/SCS spool files.BarDIMM Pro solution features the full BarDIMM functionalities, plus flash disk to store signatures, forms, logos or fonts. BarDIMM Pro is available on most hp LaserJet printers and as an external print server for entry-level hp LaserJet printers and other non-hp PCL5e printers. The BarDIMM Pro technology can also be licensed for integration in hardware or software, giving all the “BarDIMM inside” benefits.
