Platinum adds XML-based printing from SAP, Oracle, and other applications, along with tools to process XML from a directory or TCP/IP port. Command-file capabilities are available in Platinum, Multi-User, and Terminal Server editions. Net Print Server provides a browser interface for selecting and printing labels from Windows, Linux, Unix, Apple Macs, and handheld PDAs.

Label Toolkit is a cloud, browser-based label designer for creating and printing labels without installing software or drivers. Its editor handles text, logos, borders, and major barcode types including UPC, EAN, GS1-128, QR, and Data Matrix. QR codes can use custom colors, rounded or dotted modules, different finder eyes, and a center logo. A text description can produce an editable layout, with fields bound to columns in loaded data. CSV imports support column mapping, row previews, and one label per row for batches of 10 to 10,000 spreadsheet rows. Merges can auto-increment serial numbers and conditionally show elements. Designs export as vector PDF or Zebra ZPL, and ZPL files can be imported, although some commands or graphics may not be recoverable. Google Sheets and Excel data require CSV export. A free public ZPL API supports programmatic generation. The editor and template gallery are free without signup.
