Secure remote label printing

Your BarTender documents can be printed via browser access, from any device or operating system that’s connected to the internet — Windows, Android, iOS —anywhere in the world since our Print Portal runs on a web server. It’s a great way to ensure labeling consistency and compliance among your first- and second-tier suppliers, vendors, clients and remote employees.

And Print Portal keeps your system secure.

  • Your administrator assigns permissions to remote users, who sign on to print the labels you want them to, and only those labels.
  • Since Print Portal is browser-based, no local client or app needs to be installed on the user’s system. The user never accesses your network.

Servers Transparent

Business continuity, failover and disaster recovery support

New license server redundancy keeps your print production environment running seamlessly in the case a license server fails. Use Administration Console to configure redundancy by setting up license servers in a backup relationship that uses two or three servers. Then, if the main or primary server cannot be reached by the device running BarTender for any reason, the device will automatically connect to the other servers in the relationship.
