About Code-A-Print.com
Q: What is Code-A-Print.com?
A: Code-A-Print.com is SEMCO's Web-based on-demand label printing solution. You can print brilliant color-coded labels complete with individualized bar codes and graphics on demand from your own laser or inkjet printer. It's as simple as selecting a label design, entering or importing your data, and printing your label.
Q: Do I need to buy any additional hardware or change my infrastructure in any way to use Code-A-Print.com?
A: No. Code-a-Print.com is a Web-hosted solution, which means that it resides on your current equipment and can be accessed, with the proper password authorization, by you from any Internet connection.
Q: What operating systems will Code-A-Print.com run on?
A: Code-A-Print.com will run on Windows(r) 98, 98SE, ME, 2000, XP and NT workstation 4.0
Q: What are the minimum system requirements to use Code-A-Print.com?
A: Code-A-Print.com requires Internet Explorer 6.0 or greater.
Q: Do I have to use Code-A-Print.com from the same location or a specific PC every time I use it?
A: No. Code-A-Print.com is Web-based. With the proper password authorization, you can create and print labels from anywhere you have Internet access, a color printer and label stock.
Q: Do I have to worry about bandwidth?
A: No. Code-A-Print.com generates very little network traffic. You must sign on and download your label design. Other than that, all activity occurs on your computer.
Q: What kind of support is included with Code-A-Print.com?
A: Code-A-Print.com is designed to be a simple solution using standard browser functionality. Other support options include a support contract, dealer support and our online FAQ document.
Q: What if I have a firewall/stringent network security?
A: Code-A-Print.com was designed for use in most environments. However, your system must handle these settings: allow a VeriSign(tm) ActiveX control, have JavaScript(tm) enabled, have cookies enabled. If your network security does not allow these settings, Code-A-Print by Design, SEMCO's PC-based label print software, is for you.
Q: I have multiple locations. Must I have multiple Code-A-Print.com accounts?
A: Because you set up the System Administrator who can add and delete users as necessary, you manage your account in the manner that best suits your operation. If you prefer that separate locations use one account, you can set it up that way.
Q: I currently have Code-A-Print by Design. Can I switch to Code-A-Print.com?
A: Yes. Account fees apply. You or your SEMCO dealer can upload your label to your account.

Code-A-Print.com Features
Q: Does Code-A-Print.com have reporting features?
A: Yes. Code-A-Print.com allows you to run reports on labels printed, label inventory and much more.
Q: My data is confidential. Can others access it?
A: No. Although Code-A-Print.com is a Web-based product, all of your data resides safely on your computer and is never sent across the Internet.
Q: I need to print many labels. Do I have to reenter my data?
A: With Code-A-Print.com, you can input or import your data, whichever is convenient for you.
Q: Can I adjust the alignment on my printer?
A: Code-A-Print.com has a Printer Alignment Tool where you can adjust alignment so your labels print perfectly on your label stock.
Q: Why do the colors on my printed label look different from the colors on my pre-existing labels?
A: You can use virtually any color printer with Code-A-Print.com. However, the colors on the labels from the sample library are configured for the printers SEMCO recommends and sells the HP 1100DTN ink jet and the Okidata C7300N laser printer. Because every printer interprets colors differently, you may see slight differences between a label you print from the sample library and a label you are already using.
Q: How do I match colors I am already using?
A: You can download a Color Palette from the Code-A-Print.com website (located under 'Support'), print the palette on your printer, select your colors, and then contact your SEMCO dealer to make changes to your label design.
Q: Why are the colors on my screen different from my printed label?
A: Your monitor and your printer produce color in different ways. The range of colors a monitor can produce is far wider than what your printer can produce. There are colors which can be seen on a monitor that cannot be printed.
