This document introduces the Accellos One Warehouse BarTender integration, and describes
the required setup and configuration in order to use BarTender label formats. This document
does not discuss installation, configuration or use of the BarTender Labels software.
The Accellos One Warehouse BarTender integration provides a seamless interface to
BarTender Enterprise Label software, which lets the customer easily design their own barcode
labels, combining bar codes, text, and graphics, using a simple Windows interface. Also,
BarTender provides superior quality labels that can leverage more fonts and design objects
than the previous label printing process in Accellos One Warehouse. Printing BarTender labels
in the warehouse is completely transparent to the handheld user and involves no learning
curve.
Configuring your Accellos One Warehouse system to print labels from BarTender is the same
process you would use to setup printing via any of the other Accellos One Warehouse
supported external printing engines. Currently, Accellos One Warehouse supports BarTender
Enterprise Label software, Crystal Reports XI R2, and Crystal Reports 2008. Therefore, the setup
instructions in this document could be used to setup label printing using Crystal Reports XI R2
and Crystal Reports 2008, as well as BarTender.

About Bartender Integration
Before You Begin

ABOUT BARTENDER INTEGRATION

Labels created using BarTender print seamlessly from within the Accellos One Warehouse
application. From the warehouse users perspective, BarTender integration is completely
invisible. Handheld users will not know whether they are printing labels from the BarTender
printing engine or not (except they may notice visually improved labels).
To use the external BarTender engine to print BarTender labels, the administrator must follow
the setup described in Configuring BarTender Label Printing on page 3.
Currently the following default labels are have been translated to BarTender format and are
included in Accellos One Warehouse V6.0:
Picking label - BIGTEXT
Product label - PROD_BULK
Carton content label - CARTON_C
Pick tickets - PACK_SLIP
Your site may have defined their own Bartender labels. Labels files created in BarTender have a
.BTW extension.

Before You Begin

The BarTender integration requires Accellos Common Components installed on the
Accellos One Warehouse server. This should already be on the server because either:
it was installed previously for another Accellos product (for example Accellos 3PL)
running on the same server as Accellos One Warehouse,
or
it should have been installed as part of the Accellos One Warehouse installation
process.
If the Accellos Common Components are not on the server, install them as documented
in the Accellos One Warehouse Installation Guide.
Bartender 8.01 must be installed. The minimum requirement is the BarTender Labels
Enterprise Print Server edition.
