AML LabelWorks®
Bar Code Label Design & Printing Software American Microsystems, Ltd. AML LabelWorks package for bar code label design and printing software

The AML LabelWorks delivers a host of enhanced features and an improved, easier-to-use interface. But, that's not all. AML LabelWorks lets you automatically create custom labels with exciting effects, merge them with your database, incorporate virtually any linear bar code and print professional labels time after time. In addition, AML LabelWorks provides a powerful feature that allows data to be modified after retrieval and custom actions to be performed before and after printing.

Not only can you customize your bar code by adjusting the length, width, height and density, you can also add check digits for security, show human-readable text, and add start/stop characters. You can be sure that your bar code prints accurately each and every time because AML LabelWorks checks your bar codes for errors before they are printed.

AML LabelWorks lets you take advantage of Windows features, including many Windows® toolbars and menus with no learning curve. The variety of built-in templates, modernized features, easy to follow menus and toolbars, gives you the certainty of creating functional, creative and attractive labels.

Margins & Guides
LabelWorks uses margins and guides for better positioning, better printing and best yet- better and accurate productivity.

With WYSIWYG (What you see is what you get) there are no second guesses on how the label will print when you are using AML LabelWorks.

Date/Time Stamp
The Date/Time stamp allows the user to accurately produce a continual record of when the label was printed.

Like a desktop publishing program, AML LabelWorks can perform fills, line scales, line and fill styles, font changes and font sizing.

User Interface
AML LabelWorks 3.0 is a true 32-bit application with full support for long filenames, multilevel undo and more.
