Design, print, administrate

cablabel S3 opens up the full potential of cab devices. Defining a label is first. Modular design adapts cablabel S3 to requirements step by step. Plug-ins are embedded.

Native JScript programming, for example, is supported by the JScript Viewer. The designer user interface and JScript codes synchronize in real time. Optional features can be integrated, such as the Database Connector or barcode verifiers.

cablabel S3 Viewer

cablabel S3 Viewer previews a label in the Windows Explorer. The Viewer may support for example in approval processes,
as well with supplier requirements. Free download at Software/Drivers

cablabel S3 Lite

cablabel S3 Lite allows for managing all cab printers, creating and printing simple labels.

Fixed data blocks, barcodes or images may be inserted, counters and prompts be managed for  stand-alone operation. Free download at Software/Drivers

cablabel S3 Demo

cablabel S3 Demo enables installing and testing cablabel S3 Pro software for free for a maximum of 30 days
(JScript viewer is excluded, stand-alone mode is not supported). Printing is limited for testing.

cablabel S3 Pro

cablabel S3 Pro is the most comprehensive version of the software. It is possible to create labels for the professional industrial sector and develop your own label printing solutions, to add all kinds of texts, barcodes or images, whether fixed or variable. Date and time, advanced counters and prompts, mathematical or logical formulas may be as well inserted. Data maybe based also on a database compatible with ODBC/OLEDB. cablabel S3 Pro helps with creating labels compliant to international business-specific regulations such as GHS, allergens, etc.

Special features such as the Database Connector or barcode verification can be integrated as intended. Thanks to the availability of Windows drivers, cablabel S3 Pro manages printing on any type of printer.

cablabel S3 Pro can be provided for use on a single or on multiple workstations and requires software activation.

cablabel S3 Print

cablabel S3 Print has been developed for operators in manufacture or warehouse. Labels created with cablabel S3 Lite or cablabel S3 Pro software can be accessed and printed. The simplified user interface provides only functions necessary for label printing. Labels selected from a list are displayed for visual control. Then you enter variable data and the quantity to be printed. Your work is simplified, sources of errors are reduced.

There are three ways to access a label:

• Manually (Standard mode)
• By dialog box (AutoLabel mode)
• Automatically (AutoFile mode)

Printer settings may be as well loaded from a database, such are

• printing quantities,
• selections of printers,
• warning messages.

A "Print Configurator" is delivered with each cablabel S3 Print version.

Supported functions

cablabel S3 unites features like native programming and database connectivity.

JScript
cab printers embed JScript language. As for the import/export of JScript files, cablabel S3 supports native functions. Download free manuals on

abc Basic Compiler
Integral to the firmware, abc in addition to JScript enables advanced programming before data are edited for printout. For example, external printer languages can be replaced without intervening in a print job in progress. cablabel S3 enables for integrating required components to the program when designing a label.

Database Connector
Printers in a network may access data
from a ODBC/OLEDB database and print it on labels. Data can be rewritten to a database while print jobs are in progress. Providing the Database Connector integral to cablabel S3 allows for connecting to a database comfortably when designing a label.

Printer Vendor Program
cab as a member of SAP Printer-Vendor-Programm developed a replace method for controlling cab printers from SAP R/3 using SAPScript. Only variable data are sent by a host system to a printer. They add on the printer to local images and fonts (IFFS, memory card, etc.). cablabel S3 allows for c reating replace files related to a label design.

Designer

You design a label. The display corresponds to its printing (WYSIWYG). You define texts, graphics, barcodes and insert variable data in date prompts or counters, maybe using a database connected. You adapt the design to your print requirements using formulas, string formatting or logical commands. Layers allow managing a label. For example, you assign a barcode to several layers and assign a resolution to each layer. By this, a barcode is automatically printed in the correct resolution. Activating or locking a layer requires only a single click.

Hardware management

You install the required device drivers or adjust the settings and the interaction with devices connected.

Printer spooler

It monitors all printers and displays their states. Print jobs are saved if interrupted, new ones are added automatically.
