LumenLabel 0.6.7

Much of this came from you. Thank you!

  1. Printing

    • Zebra printers print smoothly, without pulling back
    • Peel-off mode: LumenLabel waits until you take the label
    • One Print button; if it doesn't fit, choose scale or resize

  2. Labels

    • Custom label sizes straight from the size picker
    • LumenLabel remembers your label sizes per printer
    • QR codes and barcodes fill their box
    • Shapes print at their real size
    • Double-click a label file and it opens
    • Font sizes in real points: what used to say 12 pt now says 9 pt; your labels print exactly the same

  3. Data

    • Spreadsheets import as they are
    • Thousands of labels in one go stay smooth

  4. Printers

    • DYMO LabelWriter 400 no longer gets stuck
    • DYMO and Brother set themselves up
    • Zebra GK420d and GX430t recognised
    • Brother QL-1100 uses its whole print head
    • No more false “offline”
    • New: DYMO LabelManager PnP (Mac)

  5. Updating

    • Updates with a progress bar; if the download is interrupted, just try again
    • After an update you see what's new
    • LumenLabel cleans up its old installers
    • A new version shows up as soon as LumenLabel starts

  6. Windows

    • The update button installs the update (download 0.6.7 once)
    • Adding a USB printer no longer hangs
    • LumenLabel opens right after installing
    • While an update installs, a window shows it is busy; if it fails, just try again

  7. Other

    • Paste with Cmd+V works everywhere
    • Offline for a long time? LumenLabel says it's the connection, not your licence
    • Support → Send to Support attaches a report

What's new in LumenLabel 0.6

If you are updating from LumenLabel 0.5.6, this is what is new in 0.6. Under Good to know you'll find two things that now work differently.

  1. A new printer window

    It has two tabs, “My printers” and “Add printer”. You add a printer by choosing its brand and model.

    The LumenLabel printer window on the Add printer tab: a search field and a grid of printer brands such as Zebra, Brother and DYMO, each with its number of modelsThe LumenLabel printer window on the Add printer tab: a search field and a grid of printer brands such as Zebra, Brother and DYMO, each with its number of models

  2. Printers that are not in the list

    LumenLabel works out which language your printer speaks, prints a test label and keeps the setup that works. If that fails, you can set it up yourself: language, resolution and width.

    A USB printer LumenLabel did not know. After the test label, it asks how the label came out.

  3. Your own names for saved printers

    Give each saved printer a name of your own. Two identical printers stay separate.

  4. Many more icons

    Optional icon packs can be switched on or off, and icons from a folder of your own show up under “My icons”. Search works in English and Dutch.

  5. PDF pages on labels

    In Design and Data you can place PDF pages on a label and choose which pages. A password-protected PDF asks for its password.

  6. Sharper barcodes and QR codes

    Barcodes and QR codes now print on whole printer dots, which makes them sharper. That stays true after you switch printers.

Good to know

  • “Use printer” only appears for a printer that is connected.
  • The printer you choose stays chosen. LumenLabel no longer switches to another printer by itself.
