Would
you like to provide a way for your employees or vendors to print labels that
meet your exact specifications without the risk of accidentally making
changes?
How
about printing labels from multiple computers?
Printing
labels from a web browser? Even across the internet?

Seagull
Scientific offers two Bartender companion applications that enable you to print
labels from a simple read-only interface. Those applications are Bartender
Print Shop, and Bartender Print Portal.
The
user interface is basically the same between the two products, while the
configuration is more complex for Print Portal.
Bartender
Print Station is bundled with every edition of Bartender, while Bartender Print
Portal is only bundled with the Enterprise-Automation edition.
Print Station
provides a mechanism for printing labels within an easy to use read-only
interface. This configuration prevents
employees accidentally changing or deleting labels. Consequently, some
companies may wish to have a “design" computer using Bartender
Designer, and then another computer or two set up for print-only label
printing.

Print Station
can be configured for full-screen and secured; effectively turning a computer
into a print kiosk. This type of kiosk
would be great for printing badges, shipping labels, or static labels in a
secured computer interface.

Print Portal offers different options for risk free label printing. Elizabeth Sinclair of Seagull Scientific says, “Print Portal includes many features that make locating and printing documents quick and easy. Running on a web server, BarTender documents are available from any computer connected to the internet. With built-in security measures, administrators of Print Portal can require users to login to the site, and assign user permissions granting access to specific documents on the server. Print Portal's intuitive interface lets users quickly locate the document they need to print and send it to the printer with a simple "click" operation.”

If
interested in learning how to configure Print Portal, see this YouTube
video.
As
Print Portal is more difficult to configure, the video is long; but goes
through every step in the process to get your users, either internal employees
or outside vendors, printing the labels you need.
To
operate Print Portal, you’ll need an Enterprise Automation edition of
Bartender; which is licensed based on the number of label printers you require.
Which
edition is right for me?
The
number of computers required to print labels will dictate which companion
application to use. If you wish to provide label printing in a read-only
interface from more than three computers, purchase the Enterprise Automation
edition of Bartender. You will get security, ease of label printing, and
some pretty heavy bragging rights too!
And
contact us to help you configure Print Portal to work for you and your
company. Happy Printing!
