Printing GS1 DataBar Barcode: TechCorner July Issue

Printing GS1 DataBar Barcode Formats Safely

Are you currently struggling with retail food safety compliance? MapleJet proudly introduces a massive software update today. The ProDigit series now officially supports printing GS1 DataBar barcode formats directly. Specifically, major retailers frequently require these complex barcodes to code fresh products. For example, factories use them daily on meat, fruit, and milk packaging. Furthermore, this specific barcode safely stores incredibly vital supply chain information. Consequently, printing GS1 DataBar barcode labels provides significantly better protection for everyday consumers at the checkout.

ProDigit Equipment Compatibility

Currently, this advanced software feature is perfectly available across multiple industrial systems. You can start printing GS1 DataBar barcode labels on the ProDigit 18 immediately. Additionally, it works flawlessly on our Bi-color 18 and ProDigit 70 models. Therefore, your packaging facility maintains massive operational flexibility. Ultimately, adopting this specific labeling standard helps you speak the global language of business smoothly.

Hx Nitro and Rapid Plus Ink Integration

Next, we are incredibly excited to officially launch the highly anticipated Hx Nitro. We will unveil this impressive machine at Pack Expo in Chicago soon. First, this brand-new printer features our highly advanced Hx Rapid Plus Ink. As a result, operators achieve massively faster drying times and superior surface adhesion.


Our primary goal focuses on providing a completely simple, highly flexible coding experience. While the ProDigit series handles complex dynamic requirements perfectly, the Hx Nitro excels differently. Specifically, it focuses heavily on extreme portability and overall ease of daily use. Moreover, it caters directly to massive production needs without compromising crisp print quality.

Advanced Rollover Time Features

Finally, we recently introduced a highly requested rollover time upgrade for ProDigit. This smart software upgrade allows the printer to change production dates intelligently. Previously, standard ProDigit software updated the date purely in real-time at midnight. Now, manufacturers can safely keep the exact same production date active longer. Basically, it holds the specific date steady until your designated factory shift finishes.

Because of this, busy operators no longer need to reset information manually daily. The intelligent ProDigit controller handles this specific task completely automatically at your chosen time. In conclusion, this significantly reduces costly human errors and saves incredibly valuable floor time.
