ConnectCode releases barcode label software for Windows 11

ConnectCode, a world-leading barcode fonts and barcode software provider, today announced a new version of Barcode & Label, a modern and new generation barcode label software for Windows 11. The software is designed afresh for Windows 11 to print labels that adhere strictly to industry specifications on modern devices.

Designed for Windows 11

Barcode & Label Software offers first-class support on Windows 11 devices for all its barcode and labeling capabilities. It provides Touch, Mouse, and Pen (Microsoft Ink) interactions naturally, prints labels with data from Microsoft People’s app (Contacts API), and works well with Windows 11 Print capabilities. At the same time, it utilizes Windows 11 Desktop Extension SDK capabilities to print natively to Zebra Label Printers through Zebra Printer Language (ZPL). The app installs and auto-updates from Microsoft Store without any complex installer setups (typically seen in traditional archaic industrial applications). The app also executes strictly within app containers for maximum security.

Elegant Simplicity

Barcode & Label adopts modern user interface design principles and is designed to be easy to use and easy to learn. The software comes with over 900 label stock templates, a What-You-See-Is-What-You-Get (WYSIWYG) user interface, a proven barcode system, MICR (Magnetic Ink Recognition Characters) E13B, and MICR CMC7 I-IV capabilities. The complicated process of extracting data from various data sources such as Office 365, Excel, Comma Separated Values (CSV) files, Contacts database, Print Time Data Entry, and Serialized Running Counter, that is essential in any professional barcode label software, is achieved in an intuitive and elegantly simple manner. A new user can easily understand the software through e-tutorials provided and print high-quality barcode labels like a professional, in a matter of minutes. The elegantly simple user interface leads to a huge productivity gain and shorter learning curve in the use of the software.

Low Ownership Cost (Pay-as-you-use)

Many label software applications today come with a high upfront cost with a steep learning curve, resulting in high total cost of ownership (TCO). Barcode & Label offers a full version of the app with limited barcodes: Code 39, Industrial 2 of 5, and POSTNET barcodes, for Free in Microsoft Store. The free app, the easy-to-use modern and elegantly designed user interface coupled with a subscription model (USD 6.99), results in a significant reduction of the TCO. A user can also choose to subscribe and only pay when its time to print labels (“pay when you print”).

Strict Adherence to Specifications

Barcode & Label uses a proven fonts-based barcode system field-tested in the industry over the last 15 years for printing barcodes that adhere to the strictest auto-id specifications. The system is highly regarded by many Fortune 500 companies for printing barcodes in retail packages, logistic labels, pharmaceutical labels, and manufacturing labels. The barcode fonts are widely deployed for many years across heterogeneous environments running Crystal Reports, Microsoft Reporting Services, PowerBuilder applications, .NET, Web, and Excel Spreadsheets. The proven and highly regarded barcode fonts-based system has helped many organizations clear their institutional audits and independent barcode verification tests such as those by ISO, AIM, and GS1.

"iPad Pro" rumored to run Mac App Store apps

According to reliable sources, Apple is testing "iPad Pro" with apps in the Mac App Store. Yes, you read that right – “Mac App Store”. As early as February 2012, a paper released by the Delft University of Technology in Holland indicates that Apple is testing laptops with Mac OS X running on ARM based hardware. Traditionally since 2005, Apple's Mac OS X runs on Intel based hardware. A source close to Apple revealed that Apple actually does not plan to run Mac OS X on ARM. Instead Apple is testing a special version of iOS running on a MacBook based on ARM chips. This special version of iOS is customized and setup to test apps developed for the Mac App Store, to determine whether it is feasible to run Mac App Store apps on an iPad.

The question is how can a touch device run apps that require a mouse and a keyboard. Recent leaks has claimed that the "iPad Pro" is rumored to come with a keyboard and a mouse. The main aim is to increase productivity of mobile tablets and target business and enterprise users. The enterprise sector is an area where iPad can greatly benefit to further grow its market share. Potentially, "iPad Pro" can allow at least 25,000 apps (estimation as of July 2014) in Mac App Store to be used with a mouse and keyboard. This will definitely make "iPad Pro” an extremely productive mobile device from day one.

This revolutionary move from Apple will greatly increase the interest of developers targeting the Mac App Store again as they can deploy on more devices. The growth of the Mac App Store ecosystem will in turn drive more sales of Mac OS X/"iPad Pro" devices. Apple will also, yet again, be the first company to introduce a REAL PRODUCTIVE mobile device.

From a strategic point of view, the rumor is credible. Microsoft is leveraging its Windows Desktop (Windows 8 Store) in the Tablet and Mobile market. In Windows 10, developers will be able to use the same code base with changes on the user interface for Desktop and Mobile devices. Apple come from the reverse direction and will instead leverage its iOS in the Desktop market. The further growth for iPad will be bridging the gap of mobile and desktop devices.

From a technical perspective, Apple will need to release an update of Xcode (Apple’s developer tool) and offer Mac App Store developers a compilation option to ARM devices. Most, if not all, of the Mac App Store developers will only need to recompile their apps and resubmit their apps to the app store without changes to their applications. This is similar to Microsoft's Visual Studio ability to compile to specific platforms such as x86, x64 and/or ARM. It has also been rumored that Apple has been testing with many of its own internal Mac App Store apps such as Keynote, Numbers, Pages, Logic Pro X, iBooks Author and Final Cut Pro X on the “iPad Pro”.

There will definitely be people who argued that this is something Apple will never do. On April 24 2012, Apple CEO Tim Cook was asked by an analyst from Sanford Bernstein on whether Apple would come up with some kind of tablet-laptop hybrid, so consumers would only need to carry one device. Tim Cook's reply is "You can merge a toaster and a refrigerator, but that's probably not going to be pleasing to anyone."

But Apple is also famous for saying that they will never do something until they did it. On October 2010, Steve Job discussed his disdain for a new wave of smaller tablets coming to market. He said iPad’s 10-inch screen was “the minimum size required to create great tablet apps”. The release of iPad mini served as a reminder that Apple is never afraid to do something that they initially said they would never do.

From the far end of the stage, I can now hear “One more thing! The iPad runs Mac App Store apps”.

Windows Store Barcode & Label App supports Excel spreadsheet

ConnectCode, a world leading provider of barcode software and fonts, today announced the release of version 10.7 of ConnectCode Barcode Software and Fonts. This version introduces a significantly updated Barcode & Label app, available on the Windows Store, for printing labels with data stored in an Excel spreadsheet and labels with serialized running numbers.


Many organizations collect, store and keep customer and product information in Microsoft Excel spreadsheets. From time to time, this information needs to be printed on shipping labels, inventory tags or mailing stickers. For example, the marketing department may need to send out mailing labels and require the Company Name, Contact Name and Address fields to be printed on a label stock. The logistics department may need to print inventory labels and generate barcodes with the Product ID field stored in an Excel spreadsheet.

The updated Barcode & Label app enables users to easily design, layout and print a label with data stored in an Excel spreadsheet. This allows organizations to easily format spreadsheet data on labels, tags and stickers to streamline their label printing process.


Barcode & Label supports the latest Open Office XML Excel format which is available from Office 2007 onwards and is able to retrieve the different worksheets of a spreadsheet containing complex formulas, references and formatting. Option to specify whether the first row in the worksheet as column name is supported. When a label is saved into a file, the spreadsheet is automatically stored as part of the file. This improves productivity as a user can load a label without setting up the spreadsheet again.

For more information on using the Barcode & Label app with a Excel spreadsheet, please refer to the following:

Barcode & Label also supports printing of labels with a Serialized Counter, a counter value that steps over a set of numbers. This is especially useful for printing inventory labels where unique running numbers are required for tracking purpose. The app provides capabilities for Serialized Counter in both Text and Barcode objects. It also supports features to pad, prefix, suffix and rollover counter values.

The industrial strength WYSIWYG Barcode & Label app is bundled with over 900 industry label stock templates and over 150 clip arts. With an elegantly simple user interface and support for the generation of standards-compliant barcodes using ConnectCode's Barcode Fonts technology, it is definitely a unique and proven proposition to users who have strict requirements for their auto-id processes.
