(1) Precautions for printing the label file using the SII SLP800 Series Web SDK

Printing the label file using the app may differ from printing the label file using the SII SLP800 Series Web SDK. Verify the performance with your actual device in advance.
Note the following when printing label files using the SII SLP800 Series Web SDK.

  1. All object
    • The drawing object mapped outside the print area is not supported.
  2. Text object
    • The "Serialization" is not supported.
  3. Barcode object
    • Among the barcodes supported by the app, the following barcodes are supported by the SII SLP800 Series Web SDK.
      • CODE39
      • CODE128
      • UPC-A
      • EAN13
      • CODABAR
      • UPC-E
      • EAN8
      • PDF417
      • Data Matrix
      • QR Code
    • The "Serialization" is not supported.
    • The ratio of bar width setting is not reflected.
    • The barcode image created using the app and the barcode image created by the SII SLP800 Series Web SDK may not become the same barcode image.
    • If the height of the barcode object is specified to be lower than the bar height using the app, the barcode will be reduced to fit within the object in the SII SLP800 Series Web SDK and printed.
    • When the security of the PDF417 is set to "-1" using the app, it is fixed to "0" in the SII SLP800 Series Web SDK and the object is drawn.
  4. Drawing object
    • When "Line Width" is too thin, dashed, long dashed, or double lines may be squished.
    • The drawing position of the drawing object may differ between the app and the SII SLP800 Series Web SDK.
