With the free printer driver Koenig & Bauer Coding-Basic you can send a text layout from any Windows application directly to an alphaJET or betaJET coding system via network and print it immediately.

In no time at all, any Windows® -based label printing software is thus compatible with Koenig & Bauer Coding ink jet coding and printing systems.

The printer driver automatically detects what type of printing system is connected. The configuration settings are then queried (print image height, resolution) in order to calculate the maximum print area for the specific system. Full-color templates are automatically optimized and converted to a printable monochrome image by a configurable color matching algorithm.

A separate driver can and should be installed for every print system found in the network. Different print jobs are sent to print systems on the production lines in the usual manner by selecting the printer in the familiar Windows® selection window.

This integration in familiar workflows simplifies everyday tasks enormously.
