Welcome,

Since 1985, Seagull Scientific has been a driving force in the Automatic-ID industry.

In 1993, we launched the Windows version of BarTender, the first true Windows

label printing program to support thermal printers in addition to laser and ink-jet

printers. Today we offer a completely redesigned, 32-bit version of BarTender to take

full advantage of the increased power and flexibility of current Windows operating

systems. We have also become the world’s largest manufacturer of true Windows

drivers for label printers.

Focused solely on label printing, Seagull Scientific is prepared to meet your complex,

ever-changing needs. We combine the latest Windows technology, industry-leading

driver development, and years of auto ID expertise to build desktop and enterprise

labeling programs that are powerful, yet simple to use. That’s why BarTender has

built a reputation around the world as the fastest, easiest way to design professional

labels, and why Seagull Scientific will continue to offer you the most innovative label

printing solutions in the years to come.

Sincerely,

Don Ray

President

Label Design Made SimpleEasy to Learn, Easy to UseA few quick mouse motions are all it takes to combine bar codes, text and graphics into professional, quality labels. Strict adherence to Microsoft’s official user-interface guidelinesmeans if you’ve used even one other Windows program, you’re ready tostart designing labels now. Carefully organized menus and “pop-up”dialogs display even the mostadvanced options in plain, easy-to-understand words. So customizing labels is easy. And, with the industry’s most powerful Undo command, even beginners never have to worry about makingmistakes. But advanced users still have all thepower they’ll ever need.

Exceptional Design FlexibilityWith BarTender, you have total control over your label’s appearance. You control the style and size of the text, the size and quantity of the bar codes and which bar code language to use (over 20 available).

Label objects are easily modified. Simply “double click”to open tabbed dialogs for fast changes.

True WYSIWYG DisplayBarTender doesn’t just “preview” or approximatehow your labels will look. Bar codes and different text sizes are shown with extraordinary precision.By accurately viewing your label images before you print them, you finish your design work faster.

Designer Typefaces,Even on Thermal PrintersThermal printer users are no longer limited to just a few built-in typefaces. Seagull’s printer drivers let you output the same rich variety of Windows-based TrueType and Adobe fonts previously available only on laser printers. All fonts scale smoothly to any size.

Import and Export GraphicsIt’s easy to add company logos and pictures ofproducts. BarTender supports most major graphicformats. You can also export bar codes for use inother programs.

MDI (Multiple Document Interface) lets you manipulate and print multiple label designs.

Compliance Labels andReady-to-Print FormatsSometimes a customer or outside agency requires a particular label design. “Compliance” with such external specifications can be challenging, especially if it demands something your label software just can’t do. We’ve familiarized ourselves with numerouscommonly used standards in order to build BarTender into the most full-featured compliance-labeling tool available. Whether you’re using one of our many ready-to-print formats, or designing labels from scratch, BarTender has the power and flexibility you need for thousands of compliance label standards.

Customize your data-entry screen to match your workflow.

Custom Data-Entry FormsSometimes you can’t store all of your label data in a database or type it in advance. For example, in a manufacturing environment, some data may not be known until the product is ready for shipping. In these situations, BarTender’s customizable, pop-up “Prompt Dialogs” make it easy to request exactly the data needed.

Designing prompt dialogs works just like designing labels, so there’s nothing extra to learn. You caneven lock BarTender into prompting mode, so your end-users can enter data and print labels withoutrisk to the label design.
