Can Trotec’s laser software use serial printing functions?
Yes it can. Using the JobControl software for flatbed laser machines, you can use the standard serial printing capabilities of your graphics or office software to output lists in the correct format.
SpeedMark laser marking software for our industrial laser markers offers the ability to create serial numbers or codes with consecutive, freely definable numbers. Additionaly, the laser software provides special features enabling the smooth import of external datafor use as plain text or for barcode or data matrix output, for example.
Is your software not on the list?
You should contact us if you are using an older version or special software versions such as a school or university license. Contact us
