[PADG:632] Re: Label Printers



Andy,

Here at Rutgers we are also a SIRSI customer who has been having trouble with printing labels. I am not sure what version of Unicorn you are using or if you are planning on upgrading, but the new GL clients have updated the labeling module and apparently works quite well. It also includes customizable options. I have not used it yet since our installation is due next year, but it looks promising!

All,
Were having some troubles with our label printing, and are looking for alternatives. Our library is using Sirsi, and the particular computer that is currently printing labels was upgraded to XP. However to continue the spine label printer working we had to run the executables from windows 3.1 ( A software issue not hardware). This machine is currently running an emulator so that it can work with Infoview and the spine label printer. Unfortunately, the emulator causes display problems when moving back and forth between different applications. This is the reason that we need a second PC for the staff person who works in this area, so she can check her e-mail and access the internet. Has anybody switched to a different system of label printing? I know they've tried some things in the past here, such as a laser printer that would print multiple labels, but that was rejected since sometimes you need only one or two labels printed. I've done a little research and found a spine label library printing system from Computype (Global Auto ID Solutions). Is anyone familiar with this or had experience with this system? Thanks for any help. --Andy
