SATO's Windows Vista-Certified Labeling Software, Label Gallery 3, Offers Extended Solution Possibilities To Software Developers

SATO, a pioneer in the Automatic Identification and Data Collection (AIDC) industry and a leader in barcode printing, labeling, and EPC/RFID solutions, announced the latest release of its labeling software, Label Gallery 3 (LG3).

LG3 follows in the tradition of innovation that SATO proudly upholds. It is the result of a user-centric product design process to create a more enhanced and better-suited barcode and RFID label design and printing solution for PC and mobile device users.

The release of the new Software Developer Kits increases the technology capabilities for developers to create feature-rich applications for PC and mobile devices. LG3 also offers robust and industry-proven integration solutions with third-party applications: label printing can be seamlessly integrated into a Warehouse Management System (WMS), Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system, or Hospital Information System (HIS) among others.

LG3 has successfully completed certification testing for Windows Vista. It has passed a series of stringent tests meeting requirements of security, reliability, and compatibility standards.

The simple, wizard-driven user interface has been further enhanced with improved printing control and extended design possibilities. LG3 offers true multi-lingual support using the Unicode standard. Users worldwide who have been facing challenges printing international characters to thermal printers will greatly benefit.

"The aim of this latest release is to provide editions that can offer a scalable and versatile set of tools to meet all labeling design and printing needs, especially targeting users operating and developing applications in the popular Windows environment," said Kaz Matsuyama, Managing Director of SATO International.
