Which ‘mode’ of NiceLabel Automation is needed for printing?
The documentation provided says switch to Enterprise mode. I tested with Enterprise Mode, printing worked fine and then got sticker shock when I went to price it. Went to experiment with other modes, but trial expired, waiting to here from NiceWare on extending trial for testing.
Does anyone use Bartender for printing from OS 2.x? Looking for examples on updating the database status to ‘PRINTED’ when the labels are printed.

Hi @John,
Many of OpenSpecimen adopters are using the Bartender software for printing. Bartender reads the data from .cmd files. The next version of OpenSpecimen (i.e. v2.4) will have the functionality to generate the .cmd files too, which Bartender software can pick and print.
For this you need to wait for 2.4 official release. Currently its under development.
We are not aware of how to achieve this. You might need to do additional scripting within Bartender to achieve it.

OK, for now I created a database trigger to create a data file for bartender. After the file is generated, a watcher monitoring the directory, marks the label as ‘PRINTED’ and sets the ‘PRINT_DATE’. Bartender reads the data file, prints then deletes the data file.
