CLARiSUITE only requires a good specification PC, with a mouse and keyboard. For CLARiNET to be used, a NIC (network interface card), and connection to the LAN used by the printers is necessary.

Yes, CLARiSUITE has ODBC capability (open database connectivity), this means that data may be sourced from a variety of compatible platforms, including Access, SQL, Excel etc.

The CIFF template is still required, however, data for some of the fields may be populated from one or more data sources.
CLARiNET has an API (application programming interface). This allows software developers to interact with CLARiNET from their own application.

CLARiNET also has an OPC server (open platform communication), this allows CLARiNET to connect directly to factory automation systems, allowing control of printed data and logged information to be managed directly. The OPC server operates as a service, meaning the CLARiNET application does not need to be running for the server to be effective.

Yes, there are other drivers available, although support for these may be limited since it is dependent on documentation and support from other manufacturers. The Zebra printer is supported as standard since its protocol is widely documented and the Zebra product is in common use.

The CLARiSOFT license is held on the dongle supplied and unfortunately, we are not able to supply replacement dongles for individual licenses. However, we are happy to consider unusual circumstances and would always endeavour to work with you to ensure a new order for the software is processed quickly to get you up and running.

We do hold stock of the software in house and are able to supply on a same or next day delivery service, if required.

We offer Preventative Maintenance Service contracts which provide scheduled maintenance days to help prevent downtime and ensure coders are working at optimum efficiency.

We recommend that each coder on-site is serviced a minimum of twice per annum. The length of each visit depends on how many coders the customer has on-site – Engineers can service up to 6 coders in 1 day.

The average contract includes 2 x 1-day visits to be scheduled within a 12 month period (if 6 or fewer coders on-site). A 10% discount is applied to our standard day rate.
