For Use With or Without BarTender

The standard functions of true Windows Drivers by Seagull™ are powerful and flexible enough to generate high-quality barcodes, labels and cards from almost any Windows program. However, standard Windows programs have no way to access many of the special "enhanced" driver functions that give BarTender access to the high-speed features found in most of today's high performance label printers. The "standard" functions of Drivers by Seagull ensure compatibility with the widest possible variety of Windows programs and the "enhanced" functions, when used with BarTender, offer high-performance printing features such as:

• Full control over printer's built-in barcode capabilities (instead of having to print barcodes as either a bitmap or a simulated barcode "font").
• Encode RFID chips, magnetic stripes, and smart cards.
• Printer-based serialization.
• Downloadable label formats.
• Storage of the unchanging parts of labels in the printer.
• Caching of graphics and formats in the printer.

Drivers by Seagull™ can display their user interface in any language also supported by BarTender.

Although Drivers by Seagull work with any standard Windows program, we don´t charge for them. Therefore, we can´t support them for free unless you have also installed BarTender – even just the free Trial Edition. Click here for more details on printer driver Technical Support.
