Intersolia cannot provide user support for NiceLabel 2017 or Automation.
If you need help creating new label template for printing, we advise you to contact your NiceLabel vendor.
Configuration and getting set up
1. NiceLabel 2017/2019
You will need NiceLabel Designer installed on your PC to edit or create your own label template for iChemistry.
NiceLabel Automation Service must be running on your PC or server used for Label printing.
You must also have a NiceLabel compatible label printer and NiceLabel drivers installed on your computer before printing.
2. Extract NiceLabel.zip
Extract attached NiceLabel.zip file to your NiceLabel folder in Documents folder (Default location of NiceLabel labels, graphics and solutions; location can be different depending on your computer setup)
3. Customize the label template
Open iChemistryExampleNew.nlbl from Labels folder in NiceLabel Designer and verify settings such as Document properties, Printer settings and Label dimensions.
4. Customize Automation solution
Example Solution can be found from Solutions folder (extracted from NiceLabel.zip in step 2)
This example is listening to a specific file in a folder Documents\NiceLabel.
As soon as label.job is changed Automation will try to print the label using selected printer.
Open iCNiceLabel.misx in NiceLabel Automation Builder and edit File Trigger and its' actions
Select Label printer Action 1.1 Set Printer and select your Label printer.
Once Trigger is properly set you can preview output of the label. You must have saved all changes before running Preview.
If the preview is showing no errors, deploy the solution to Automation Manager and make sure Automation service is running.
It is recommended to build your own solution and triggers to match your computer environment.
If you make a small change in label.job file, a label should be printed using the defined printer.
Troubleshooting NiceLabel prints
Unfortunately we do not provide customer support for NiceLabel, as this is a third party application.
