Disadvantages Description
More work for setting up printing of
bitmap graphics and text elements
formatted in True Type fonts
Not all thermal printers can print
such elements when using Upload
method. Workaround with separate
download of such elements can be
used with some printer models but
not all of them.
When using such workaround, all
graphics have to be downloaded to
printer's internal memory before they
can be used on the printer. The
application NiceMemMaster (part of
NiceLabel Suite edition) must be
used.
Non-binary escape codes support
in the printer
Printer has to be able to receive non-
binary escape codes. SAP system
has a strict data format for SAPscript
ITF text file. Printer commands
cannot include characters below
ASCII code 32. Not all thermal
printers support this and in such
case the command Export to SAP in
NiceLabel software cannot be
selected.
No Unicode support Binary files cannot be uploaded,
which prevents the use of Asian
characters.
Limited label design possibilities Not all NiceLabel functionalities and
objects are available for the exported
label. For example, limitations apply
to text wrapping, best fit and
justification options.
