“Drivers by Seagull” Keep Rolling Along,
Adding Cognitive and Thermopatch Brands

It’s pretty rare for more than a few months to go by without our printer driver development team releasing a variety of new features and/or support for new printer models. August had two such releases: Versions 6.8 and 6.8.1.

New Printer Brands and Models
Driver releases 6.8 and 6.8.1 brought on board the following new printer family brands:

• Cognitive
• Thermopatch

In addition, the following models were added to Seagull’s list of already-supported printer driver families:

• Avery Dennison: 64-05 RFID, AP 2.4 PPLA, AP 3.4 PPLA
• cab: A3-2 (300 dpi)
• Intermec: PD4
• TEC: B-415, B-SP2D, B-SP2D-JP
• Zebra: 170XiIII Plus (203 dpi), 220XiIII Plus (300 dpi)

New Features
Some of the newly added features and capabilities include:

• Added support for one degree rotation of device fonts in printers that support it.
• Added caching support to all EPL-compatible printers. (EPL was the printer language formerly used by Eltron and now used by a number of other companies.) Caching was also added to some not-previously-enhanced Intermec printer drivers.
• Added native printer support for RSS and Composite bar codes to numerous Intermec and Zebra printers.
• Datamax: Added native printer support for EPC RFID tags and RSS Expanded Stacked bar codes.
• The translated (non-English) versions of the user interfaces were updated for all Seagull-supported languages.
• Translation of the user interfaces into Russian was added.
