D. CREATING BARCODES ON A MAC

You can integrate barcode printing into any application that can print to the printer by using Mac Barcode Maker. Mac Barcode Maker can be purchased from their website at www.barcodeformac.com

This application was tested using Adobe Illustrator. Follow the instructions that are included with the application to use it with your program. Their website does offer a fully functional trial version which integrates an "EVAL" stamp into all of the barcodes it produces. Buying the application will cause the "EVAL" stamp to be removed.

Other barcode integration software is available but was not tested for compatibility with the printer.

E. PRINTING FROM OTHER APPLICATIONS

Because the printer installs as a standard Windows or Macintosh printer driver, it will print from virtually any Windows 2000/XP or Macintosh OS 10.x application. All you will need to do is create a custom page size the equivalent of your label stock size with margins set to "0". Then create your label and click File > Print. Select the Color Label Printer as your printer and select the number of copies. Click OK and your printer will print your labels.
