SATO releases Label Gallery 2

SATO has released its labeling software series Label Gallery 2. The new generation of the successful SATO Label Gallery product features a state-of-the-art user interface, an expanded Wizard help facility and additional modules.

The Label Gallery 2 software series comprises the cost-free edition 'Free', the basic edition 'Easy', the full version 'Plus' and the high-end solution 'TruePro', which is also offered in a pocket or a network version. The standalone versions of SATO Label Gallery 2 come equipped with a hardware key. The printing interface 'GalleryPrint', which is available with the TruePro edition of Label Gallery 2, offers printing efficiency and is easy to operate. Moreover, SATO Label Gallery 2 is compatible with the international Unicode standard. This means that the software is able to generate labels in a wide range of languages.

All the main applications featured in SATO Label Gallery 2 can be conveniently selected via a toolbar. As the user interface may be adapted to suit individual needs, new label format generation is quick and simple. Moreover, objects can be added or changed and the layout can be checked in the print preview. The Easy starter edition supports variable queries, consecutive numbering and date/time stamping.

With the second release of SATO's labeling software, the 'Plus' edition has been expanded by two modules. 'Gallery MemMaster' and 'GalleryData' are not only to be found in the TruePro version, but now also support the Plus user in label design. Gallery MemMaster loads frequently-used fonts or graphics into the printer's internal storage, the advantage being that it shortens the throughput time of print jobs considerably.

GalleryData is a standalone tool for creating, importing and managing databases. The Plus edition contains many additional functions for the designing and printing of labels. It supports RTF format texts and can even be used to program radio frequency transponders on RFID labels. Other systems may be linked to Label Gallery Plus through Active X.

Label Gallery 2 TruePro, SATO's flagship label management solution, features a large number of integrated modules for designing sophisticated label formats. Besides a TruePro network solution, SATO also offers a TruePro edition for mobile use. The operator can print via infrared, TCP/IP or Bluetooth. Moreover, the TruePro version enables export to SAP R/3, internet printing via POP3 and serial port connectivity for scales or barcode scanners.
