Instant label printer for host computer

摘要

By accessing the screen drivers of a host computer, a label printer provides a user of a host computer immediate printing onto a label of portions of a screen display generated by programs running on the host. A program controlling the label printer and executed by the host computer searches for and locates an address field on the screen, or data may be input to the screen by the user, to be captured for printing on a label. The data to be printed may be in alphanumeric format, graphic format, bar code format, or any combination of them.
