New Hires in the Technical Services Group
We have been beefing up our Technical Services group lately. This team is at the heart of our company, doing the work that it takes, to make the hardware that we sell, work in the customers environment. Sometimes that is simply maintaining label printers. Sometimes that is running a large project that includes custom programming, hardware builds, and onsite integration work.

Will Terminal Emulation Ever Go Away?
We are both delighted and confused by how much Terminal Emulation is still used on handheld devices in the warehouse. We also have lots of customers still running legacy AS/400’s or iSeries machines as well. We delight since we know how it works and can still support these customers. But we are confused since this technology is now very old, so you have to wonder why it is still out there. Want to learn more?

Fixed Scanning of Multiple Barcodes

We have worked on many vision applications in the past, but this one may take the cake when it comes to largest light source used. This gigantic light was used to illuminate a large enough area to read multiple barcodes in any orientation on varying stack heights. Want to learn more about this application? Click below!
TECH TIPS
Windows Update Broke My Printer
It has happened twice in the last few months. A Windows Update broke your ability to print labels on your label printer. Technically the update broke the printer driver….twice. The first update was followed quickly by a patch. But the second one took a while for a patch to come along, so you were forced to go uninstall the update or restore your system to a prior date. So what can be done? Check out the article below!
FEATURED PRODUCT
EMP Scan and Print
Not a new topic for this part of our newsletter, but Scan and Print is the hottest EMP product that we sell. We have some good YouTube videos that get attention from all over the world. And we mean all over the world, we recently sent several systems to a very large company in Germany. Do you want to learn more about this system that is shipping all over the world?
