BARZ_OUT Pro(TM) 5.0 Simplifies Bar Code Printing with CUPS, IPP and PostScript Support; Linux and UNIX Users Can Easily Add Bar Codes to Documents and Reports and Output Them to Networked Postscript Printers.ROCHESTER HILLS, Mich. -- Unibar Inc. today released version 5.0 of its popular BARZ_OUT Pro(TM) bar code output software, which has several new features that make it easy for Linux and UNIX system users to print bar codes on documents and reports. BARZ_OUT 5.0 provides PostScript conversion so any PostScript-compatible printer can output bar codes without additional drivers, fonts, middleware or programming. BARZ_OUT Pro 5.0 also supports the CUPS (Common UNIX Printing System The Common Unix Printing System (CUPS) is a modular printing system for Unix-like computer operating systems that allows a computer to act as a print server. A computer running CUPS is a host that can accept print jobs from client computers, process them, and send them to ) standard and the Internet Printing Protocol The Internet Printing Protocol or IPP, defines a standard protocol for printing as well as managing print jobs, media size, resolution, and so forth. Like all IP-based protocols, IPP can be used locally or over the Internet to printers hundreds or thousands of miles (IPP (Internet Printing Protocol) A protocol for printing and managing print jobs over the Internet using HTTP. Initially conceived by Novell, Xerox and others, the IETF made it a standard in 2000 that includes authentication and encryption. See printing protocol and LPD. ). CUPS and IPP provide advanced output management, networking, printer discovery and remote configuration features and let BARZ_OUT Pro 5.0 users print from any version of Linux or UNIX UNIX Operating system for digital computers, developed by Ken Thompson of Bell Laboratories in 1969. It was initially designed for a single user (the name was a pun on the earlier operating system Multics). . "By adopting industry-leading standards and protocols, we've made it extremely easy for customers to include bar codes on documents and forms," said Unibar President Ted Kruse. "BARZ_OUT 5.0 eliminates traditional customization and support requirements and gives Linux and UNIX users an extremely cost effective and convenient way to print bar codes." Using BARZ_OUT 5.0 as a print filter lets users simply choose the printer destination within their application (such as Oracle(R) Reports). BARZ_OUT 5.0 automatically converts text trigger sequences into PostScript(R)-compatible bar codes and the CUPS feature routes the print job to the selected printer, which outputs the bar coded document. With PostScript bar code output support, a separate thermal printer is not required to produce bar code labels. BARZ_OUT Pro 5.0 also includes many other features to simplify bar code design and output. Users can add two- and five-digit supplements for U.P.C. symbols that companies to specify issue numbers and suggested retail pricing, encode UCC An abbreviation for the Uniform Commercial Code. .EAN EAN experimental allergic neuritis. application identifiers, rotate bar codes, produce two-dimensional (2-D) symbologies and use XML-style bar code triggers up to 30 characters. The software retains popular text handling and application support features from earlier versions.
