Ver.: 4.5.14 Fixed issue with forced optimization in non labeling software.

Ver.: 4.5.10 UCC/EAN128 barcode now produces correct command on EPL printers.
Ver.: 4.5.10 Also barcodes now uses 'SO2' command for first date/time offset and 'SO32 command for the second and all further date/time offsets on the same label. Ver.: 4.5.09 Barcodes in labeling software with prompted contents are not exported correctly to the printer. Implementation of Rfid Read and store for ZPL printers Ver.: 4.4.67 Fixed IMG compression for wide graphics Ver.: 4.4.66 There is possible in ZPL to print counter without leading zeros. This can be done with NL communication because this setting should driver get from NL. Ver.: 4.4.66 Now user don't need to create a start value of '001' to count from 1.999 on ZPL printers with printer's internal counter, but can set just '1' and counter will not stay at just one digit like before.
But user have to set in this case tha maximum length of counter to 3! In this case leading zero's will not be printed, so if you want leading zero's you still have to imput 001 for example.
WYSIWYG for non-leading zero's counters is not accurate because the printer gets the maximum counter length data and this can not be improved. Ver.: 4.4.65 Export label to printer works now correctly also for prompted variables, Ver.: 4.4.65 EPL printers support now also day offset for internal printer clock. It is possible to use internal date & time also on barcode element from now on. Ver.: 4.4.64 Removed Help button as no help is available.

Ver.: 4.4.52 Labels transfered from different systems now retain their driver settings. Ver.: 4.4.51. POSTNET barcodes have a fixed height and width, but the interface allows the user to change these dimensions.
Ver.: 4.4.50 Import and export didn't work if filename and path exceeded the length of 80 characters while windows support 256 character lengths Ver.: 4.4.50 Click on 'Stocks' panel caused error if stock list was empty.

The problem is that printer resets itself when gets the command 'KcXXX', so this option has been disabled for I-Class and W-Class printers. Ver.: 4.3.70 ^MMC command has been sent twice when exporting the label to the prrinter.
This is corrected now and it is sent to the printer just once. ^MMC is a command for using cutter. If you select for 'Operation Mode' Tear off the '^MMT' is sent and for Peel off '^MMP' command is sent.
