Special Features Exclusive to the Enterprise Edition
The Enterprise Edition stands out from other versions with advanced functions focused on security, centralized control, and business continuity (High Availability):
- Librarian (Centralized Label Management) : A centralized repository for label templates with version control (view edit history and restore previous versions). Includes workflow management to define reviewer and approver permissions before labels are released for actual use.
- Print Portal & Internet Printing : Secure label printing via web browsers or mobile devices, enabling branches, suppliers, or external partners to instantly print accurate labels directly from their own facilities.
- Printer Failover (Automatic Backup Printing) : If the primary printer fails or disconnects, the system automatically reroutes print jobs to a designated backup printer, ensuring production and shipping remain uninterrupted.
- History Explorer & Reprint Console : Detailed audit trail of all print jobs, showing who printed what, when, and on which printer. Supports precise reprinting of original labels in case of damage or errors.
