Hello

This question is a bit out of the context of pure and hard Cao.

 

We set up a system with a printer to produce parts tracking labels.

This printer is a Toshiba Tec Bev4T. It prints thermal labels from a roll.

 

My question is: Has anyone had the opportunity to work with this machine,

                             If so, does he know how to insert a label template to be inserted automatically?

 

Basically, I have my labels that I take out via the Opticoupe software, so no worries, I have all the necessary information for manufacturing and tracking, but I would just like to add our company's logo on these labels.

 

Any idea?

 

Thank you in advance.

Hi @ Bart

if I'm not mistaken, Opti cutting is a cutting log for, among other things, optimising panel cutting, calpinage, etc...

So you optimize your label cutting via this log to avoid eating paper

However, via the reading of the doc, they have

Rolls with labels already having the base/per roll sides

so you use a continuous media type

which of + is for the printing of a logo I think it's close to print on the outer edges along the roll

but I could be wrong

Yes, I use Otpicoupe to optimize my throughputs, and label all my parts with the machine machining code, customer information etc...

 

It's continuous printing with labels that we designed especially for us.

I didn't know too much about the layout I was going to adopt, so I didn't pre-print the logo. I see that I can send "orders" to the printer to add this or that function. (There is Vbasic etc.) I don't know anything about it, so that's why I'm asking you. You never know, someone else may be using the same printer, and knows how to set it up^^

And your labels, at least the model you do it with what log?

I drew my labels on solidworks (and yes I'm crazy^^)

 

I made sure I have enough space for all my info, then I do the layout with opticoupe.

 

The problem is that I'm really limited by Opticoupe, I don't know if you know, but there aren't many options...

excuse me but it's 2 problems

  1. Your label with data and logo
  2. Optimizing your support

so done step by step

and why do you create your labels on SW for the logo it's boring to death NO

Wouldn't a sequel to Windaude be better

I have a thermal roller printer, but I use excel for the data. On the other hand, the logo must be printed in 8 bit bitmap, because it is closer to the raster than to the laser.

I can also print pdfs (like a series of standard labels that I send)

In excel as windows recognizes the printer I created my custom paper size and the machine cuts at the end of the page simply. 

On the other hand, if I want to make tickets that follow each other, it's complicated, I admit because I don't have the half-cut function in this way.

Oh no, my logo is a very simple image, I just made the outline of the label.

 

It has several detachable flaps, one for the control office and one for the customer.

 

I'll try by excel. I take out my opticoupe and I export it in csv.

 

FYI, here is my label.

 

I have information to duplicate, I don't really know how to manage it with excel

See this specific log page for Tags with image insertion

http://www.logitheque.com/logiciels/windows/bureautique/enveloppes_etiquettes/telecharger/etiquettes_26728.htm

which of +is you also have log suggestions for label

and comparisons

what type of information you want to  put on your labels, what image or logo

A screenshot can be used to understand your need

as also @ Gerald windaube says and his sequel is specifically made for that

Well, in fact the thing is that in the workshop, they follow a cutting order, I give them the flow plan with the labels that the debtor sticks as they go.

 

So I have to print its labels in the same order of appearance as on the flow plan.

 

The opticoupe software classifies everything as it should without worries, with separators by changing panels etc...

 

I indicate on the label the name of the customer, the name of the site, the name of the part, its number, its quantity, its machine machining code, its dimensions, and so on.

And that's on both fronts.

 

I can export the labels in csv but when I get to excel it's a mess^^ I struggle a little for the layout
