Shareware distribution gives users a chance to try software
before buying it.  If you try a Shareware program and continue
using it, you are expected to register.  Individual programs
differ on details -- some request registration while others
require it, some specify a maximum trial period.  With
registration, you get anything from the simple right to continue
using the software to an updated program with printed manual.

Copyright laws apply to both Shareware and commercial software, 
and the copyright holder retains all rights, with a few specific
exceptions as stated below.  Shareware authors are accomplished
programmers, just like commercial authors, and the programs are
of comparable quality.  (In both cases, there are good programs 
and bad ones!) The main difference is in the method of
distribution.  The author specifically grants the right to copy
and distribute the software, either to all and sundry or to a 
specific group.  For example, some authors require written
permission before a commercial disk vendor may copy their 
Shareware.

Shareware is a distribution method, not a type of software.  You 
should find software that suits your needs and pocketbook,
whether it's commercial or Shareware.  The Shareware system makes
fitting your needs easier, because you can try before you buy.
And because the overhead is low, prices are low also.  Shareware
has the ultimate money-back guarantee -- if you don't use the
product, you don't pay for it.

the warranties of merchantability and of fitness for any purpose.
The author assumes no liability for damages, direct or conse-
quential, which may result from the use of LABELS-PLUS.

LABELS-PLUS is a "shareware program" and is provided at no charge
to the user for evaluation.  Feel free to share it with your
friends, but do not give it away altered or as part of another
system.  The essence of "user-supported" software is to provide
micro computer users with quality software without high prices,
and yet to provide incentives for programmers to continue to
develop new products.  If you find LABELS-PLUS useful and that
you are continuing to use LABELS-PLUS after a trial period of
30 days, you must make a registration payment of $ 50.00 to
GRAFTech.  The $ 50.00 registration fee will license one copy
for use on any one computer at any one time.  You must treat
this software just like a book.  An example is that this 
software may be used by any number of people and may be freely
moved from one computer to another, so long as there is no 
possibility of it being used at one location while it's being
used at another.  Just as a book cannot be read by two different
persons at the same time.

Commercial users of LABELS-PLUS must register and pay for their
copies of LABELS-PLUS within 30 days of first use or their
license is withdrawn.  Site-License agreements may be made by
contacting GRAFTech.

Anyone distributing LABELS-PLUS for any kind of remuneration must
first contact GRAFTech at Post Office Box 851228, Westland  MI
USA  48185-6328, for authorization.  This authorization will be
automatically granted to distributors recognized by the (ASP) as
adhering to its guidelines for shareware distributors, and such
distributors may begin offering LABELS-PLUS immediately (However
GRAFTech must still be advised so that the distributor can be
kept up-to-date with the latest version of LABELS-PLUS.).

You are encouraged to pass a copy of LABELS-PLUS along to your
friends for evaluation.  Please encourage them to register their
copy if they find that they can use it.  All registered users
will receive a copy of the latest version of LABELS-PLUS.

.TOPIC:
LABELS-PLUS Introduction

In 1988, as an economical alternative to expensive
hardware dependent bar code solutions, GRAFTech 
developed and released BARCODES-PLUS.  This product
quickly gained recognition with end users, developers
and consulting firms for providing high-quality, low
cost, bar codes directly from within their existing
application software.

While the success of BARCODES-PLUS among end users 
and developers in the United States, Canada, Europe
and Australia, proves both the technology and the need
for such alternatives, their remained many potential
bar code users which could not afford to integrate the
product into their existing software or to develope
user front ends to print the simplest labels.

Therefore, in 1990, GRAFTech developed LABELS-PLUS.     
 
LABELS-PLUS combines the proven bar code technology  
of BARCODES-PLUS, a simplified user interface and the
four most requested bar code label formats, to give you
the power you need to implement a complete bar coded
management control system.

By eliminating your dependence on specific printer technology,
LABELS-PLUS provides for faster implementation, significantly
reduced start-up costs, a larger installation base and greater
portability.  LABELS-PLUS brings you the power of bar codes
for a fraction of the cost.

When you use LABELS-PLUS you will have the ability to:

  - use the graphic printers you probably already own
  - change printers without expensive software changes
  - add new printers without expensive software changes
  - and, use virtually every printer bit image printer on the
    market today!

No other software or hardware tool comes close to the power,
versatility or flexibility of LABELS-PLUS.

LABELS-PLUS utilizes the bar code standards established by:

  - Uniform Codes Council (UCC)
  - Automatic Identification Manufacturers (AIM)
  - United States Department of Defense (DOD)
  - American National Standards Institute (ANSI)
  - Intermec Corporation
  - International Article Numbering Association (EAN/IAN)
  - Automotive Industry Action Group (AIAG)
  - National Association of Electrical Distributors (NAED)

Standard Code 2 of 5

  Code 2 of 5 is a variable length bar code, which can be
  used with or without a check digit

  If used with the optional check digit, the check digit is
  calculated by LABELS-PLUS and added to the end of the
  encoded data.

  Code 2 of 5 can be used in either 2:1 or 3:1 narrow to
  wide element ratio, LABELS-PLUS will print both based on
  your selection.

Printer Problems Check List

  If printed bar codes appear to have waves or are not as
  straight as you would like, check to see if your printer
  is in bidirectional mode.  If so, change the printer
  to unidirectional mode prior to starting LABELS-PLUS.
  Unidirectional printing provides better alignment of
  vertical lines, while bidirectional printing is
  faster.  

  For Epson printers, if the DIP switches are set to
  unidirectional mode, bidirectional mode can not be 
  selected via software commands.  If the DIP switches
  are set to bidirectional mode, unidirectional mode can
  be selected via software commands.

  For Epson printers, the following BASIC statements
  will instruct the printer to set directional modes:

  Unidirectional Mode

  PRINT CHR$(27); CHR$(85); CHR$(49);

  Bidirectional Mode

  PRINT CHR$(27); CHR$(85); CHR$(48);

  For all other printers, check the printer manual
  for the proper software instructions to change
  directional print mode.

  Epson 24 Pin Printer Note:  LABELS-PLUS does
  print using all 24 pins when an Epson 24 Pin
  printer is selected.  Although this provides
  for better quality graphics, it is also 
  slower due to the increased quantity of
  graphic data which must be sent to the printer.
  If you would prefer faster printing select
  one of the 9 pin printers.

  Selecting quad density graphics while an Epson
  24 Pin Printer is selected will actually produce
  180 x 180 dpi graphics instead of 240 x 180 dpi.

  Other problems . . .
  
  Check the computer power cable connections.

  Check the computer to printer cable connections.

  Check your printer manual to be sure that your printer
  has been properly set up.

  If you still can not determine the exact problem, please
