LabelTool

LabelTool is a macOS application for generating and printing labels on ZPL-compatible thermal printers. You can define label templates with predefined fields, which can are then filled in with tabular data from a file or the clipboard (e.g. from a spreadsheet). LabelTool can communicate with label printers that understand the common ZPL II protocol, and print multiple labels with a single click.

  • Design custom label templates, with arbitrary sizes and characteristics (e.g. DPI)
  • Connect to and print from multiple ZPL II-compatible printers
  • Labels can consist of fixed text and any number of fields, which can be programmatically substituted
  • Values for commonly-used fields (e.g. $name or $initials) can be set in preferences
  • Includes a small selection of "computed" fields, such as the current date (#today) or a per-label UUID (#uuid)
  • Includes basic support for DataMatrix 2D barcodes; support for more symbologies is on the roadmap

labeltool's Issues

Warn user if printer is configured with a different print width (^PW)

It might be useful to notify the user if they are printing a label to a printer where the printer is configured with a different print width. The desired print width of the label is known from the template size, and a control query to the printer should be able to get the current ^PW setting. If the user tries to print when those values don't match maybe show an alert?

Allow importing templates and opening template files

The "Import Template..." button and menu option do nothing. They should accept a template file and move them to the templates folder.

  • Importing templates with menu option or button within app
  • Opening .lbl file from finder with LabelTool should display prompt to import

Graphical template editor

It should be possible to design and edit label templates from within LabelTool, using a graphical template editor.
