Efficient and accurate handling of barcode labels is crucial for businesses relying on TSC barcode printers. VeryPDF's TSC Barcode Printer Capture Solution offers a powerful way to capture spooling files from TSC barcode label printers, convert these files into PDF format, and seamlessly upload them to a cloud server. This article will introduce you to this innovative solution, detailing its functionality and the benefits it brings to your printing processes.

Overview of TSC and Its Label Barcode Printers

TSC is a global supplier of barcode printers, renowned for its wide range of products including wristband and bracelet printers, inkjet printers, and portable printers. Founded in 1991 in Taiwan, TSC has been at the forefront of the barcode printing industry, with over 5 million printers sold worldwide. The company's acquisition of Printronix Thermal / AIDC Business and Diversified Labeling Solutions, Inc. (DLS) in recent years has further strengthened its market position.

Understanding TSC SPL Files

TSC SPL (Spooling File Language) files are generated by TSC barcode printers when a print job is processed. These files contain detailed commands and data necessary for printing the barcode labels, such as label size, print speed, and bitmap data for images. The SPL format ensures that the printer receives all the instructions needed to produce accurate and high-quality labels.

VeryPDF's TSC Barcode Printer Capture Solution

VeryPDF has developed a comprehensive solution for capturing and converting TSC SPL files. The solution involves several key steps, from capturing the print data to uploading the converted files to a cloud server.

Step-by-Step Process

1. Install VeryPDF HookPrinter SDK: Begin by installing the VeryPDF HookPrinter SDK on the system connected to your TSC barcode printer. This SDK is designed to intercept and capture print jobs sent to the printer.

2. Print a Barcode Label: Send a print job to the TSC barcode printer as usual. The HookPrinter SDK will capture the spooling file (SPL) generated during this process.

3. Capture the SPL Files: The VeryPDF HookPrinter SDK captures the printout as SPL files, preserving all the necessary details and commands.

4. Convert SPL to PDF: Use the VeryPDF SPL to PDF Converter Command Line tool to convert the captured SPL files into PDF or image formats. This conversion ensures that the output is easily viewable and shareable across various platforms.
