Importing & Exporting Large Barcode Quantities

Legacy Poster

Hello,

 

I am looking to use Bartender to import data and export upc-a barcodes in high volume (300k+) and save them as .png or .jpg format to use on product packaging. Is this something bartender is able to do in an automated process?

  If you have Enterprise Automation edition you could use the export to print preview feature via automation.  The easiest way to do this is via XML script, and then execute this via the "File>Run BTXML Script" menu item.  Check the BarTender Help system for a full reference on BT XML.

   

  For example:

  <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> 
  <XMLScript Version="2.0" Name="09232006_103601_Job1" ID="123">
  <Command Name="Job1">
  <ExportPrintPreviewToImage ReturnImageInResponse="true"> 
  <Format>c:\format1.btw</Format>
  <Folder>c:\Images</Folder>
  <FileNameTemplate>Preview_Label%PageNumber%.jpg</FileNameTemplate>
  <ImageFormatType>JPG</ImageFormatType>
  <Colors>btColors24Bit</Colors>
  <DPI>300</DPI>
  <Overwrite>true</Overwrite>
  <IncludeMargins>true</IncludeMargins>
  <IncludeBorder>true</IncludeBorder>
  <BackgroundColor>16777215</BackgroundColor>
  </ExportPrintPreviewToImage> 
  </Command> 
  </XMLScript>
