The Bista ZPL Designer is an intuitive, user-friendly tool that enables businesses to design, publish, and print professional, custom-sized labels without the need for coding expertise. By integrating seamlessly with Odoo, this module streamlines the entire labeling workflow, ensuring that users can create and deploy labels efficiently.

Key Features

1. Intuitive Drag-and-Drop Interface

Designing labels has never been easier. The Bista ZPL Designer offers a visual editor where users can simply drag and drop elements onto the canvas. This approach eliminates the complexities of manual coding, allowing users to focus on creating labels that meet their specific requirements.

2. Diverse Element Support

The module supports a wide range of elements to enhance label designs:

• Static Text: Ideal for fixed information such as headers or standard labels.
• Dynamic Multiline Text: Pulls data directly from Odoo objects, including custom and relational fields, ensuring labels reflect real-time information.
• Barcodes: Supports standard formats like Code-128, facilitating efficient data encoding and scanning.
• QR Codes: Perfect for embedding URLs, product details, or other essential data in a scannable format.
• Borders and Shapes: Enhance the visual appeal and organization of labels with lines, boxes, and other shapes.
• Images: Incorporate logos or other graphics to align with branding guidelines.

3. Seamless Publishing and Integration

Once a label design is finalized, users can publish it directly within Odoo. This seamless integration ensures that labels are readily available for printing and can be incorporated into existing workflows without hassle.

4. Flexible Printing Options

The Bista ZPL Designer offers multiple methods to send labels to printers:

• CUPS Server Integration: Connect to any printer available on a CUPS server, with Odoo automatically fetching the list of available printers.
• Direct IP Printing: Ideal for setups with one or two printers, allowing direct label sending using the printer’s IP address, provided both the Odoo server and printer share the same network or have accessible public IPs.
• In-House Print Server: For environments lacking static public IPs or specific network configurations, Bista Solutions offers a dedicated Windows/Mac application. This app monitors Odoo for new print jobs and sends them to the printer promptly, even supporting USB-connected printers.
• Client-Side Printing: If other options are not feasible, users can print raw ZPL data and manually send it to the printer via the operating system’s print dialog.
