A: The printer supports Mac OS X 10.2.x or later. Mac OS 9.x and Classic Mode are not
supported.
Q: Where to I find instructions on how to install and uninstall the SLP software?
A: The README file describes about HOW TO INSTALL/UNINSTALL, HOW TO OPERATE SLP
v1.4 and SLP LIBRARY CONVERSION.
Q: Does you software and drivers support the Intel Core Processor?
A: Yes, our software and drivers were engineered and tested for Universal compatibility, meaning
our software runs natively on both Intel and PowerPC-based Macintosh computers.
Q: How do I import files from another application into the Smart label Program?
A: You must first be sure your files are prepared properly prior to importing. Follow the below
steps for preparing and importing your files:
1. A user will have data in a database or spreadsheet. The user should export this data as
"Tab Delimited Text".
2. The exported file name should end in ".txt".
3. Column headers: The first row of the text file should contain the names of each column,
separated by tabs, just like the data.
3a.
FROM DATABASE:
If the database program (like FileMaker) did not put the names of
each column at the top of the file, the user can open the file with TextEdit.app or other
text editor and add the names manually. Names for columns need to be separated by
tabs so they align correctly with the data in the columns. (ASCII is fine)
3b.
FROM SPREADSHEET:
The user may insert a row at the top of the spreadsheet and put
the names of each column into cells at the top of each column. The user should export or
"Save As" the data as Tab Delimited text. (ASCII is fine)
1. In the Smart Label Printer Program the user should have and/or create tags in
fields that MATCH EXACTLY with the names at the top of each column.
Example:
For the file data:
BananaCount CoconutCount
1 7
2 6
3 4
2 6
The label should contain the following in a field:
Caribbean Fruit Products
<<BananaCount>> <<CoconutCount>>
*
Notice that there are single tabs between the data in the file, but because they're just tabs, they might
not actually line up in your text editor. It all depends how the user's editor spaces out tabs.
2. Click "Advanced" in the Smart Label Printer software.
3. Click "Import File" at the bottom.
4. The user should select the ".txt" file they created above.
5. If the file has "extra" tabs at the ends of lines, this can confuse the software.
The user should delete these extra tabs with TextEdit.app or other text editor.
