APPENDIX A: SUPPLIED SOFTWARE
Software is included with every Barcode Blaster printer for use with
Microsoft Windows 95, Windows NT, Windows for Workgroups, or
Windows 3.1/3.11. Two basic packages are provided:
•
The Cognitive
Intellidriver
™
lets you print labels with your printer
using virtually any Windows application.
•
LabelMagic
™
is a full-featured WYSIWYG label layout and
printing package specifically designed for use with Cognitive
printers.
These software packages and a Blaster printer give Microsoft Windows
users an easy to use label printing solution with nothing else to buy.

your system after installing the Intellidriver.
After the drivers are installed, you can send data to your label printer
