Supported label printing software

FactoryLogix supports BarTender and Loftware NiceLabel label printing software.

Your label printing software must be installed and operational on the FactoryLogix Application Server before it will work with the FactoryLogix system.

BarTender

Note

Aegis tests BarTender on as many platforms as possible to ensure compatibility with FactoryLogix however, there may be instances where anomalies are discovered that require further testing. If you have issues using BarTender 2016 with FactoryLogix, contact Aegis Technical Support.

Important

Seagull Scientific has ceased developing 32-bit versions of BarTender after 2019. As of FactoryLogix 8.242.x, the FactoryLogix Application Service defaults to 64-bit. As a result, the “platform” of your version of BarTender should match that of your FactoryLogix installation (32-bit or 64-bit).

FactoryLogix supports the following 32-bit versions of BarTender Enterprise Automation. BarTender maintains backward compatibility and supports label templates created in older versions of the product.

For more information about BarTender and downloadable documentation, see the BarTender website.

Teklynx Sentinel

FactoryLogix supports the Teklynx Sentinel automated printing solution. Teklynx Sentinel is a central solution to print labels anywhere on the shop floor. A single application manages the printers and the label templates.

FactoryLogix communicates with Teklynx Sentinel using a TCP/IP connection and message exchange, allowing for real-time error detection. When Sentinel encounters a problem, the related error messages are presented to the user.

You can set up Teklynx Sentinel in the Global Options area of NPI (System Configuration > Settings >Option Type: Label Printing). The options are described in the following table.
