Scripts & pipelines
Generate codes from the shell, cron jobs and batch processes.
Linux, UNIX & macOS
Barcodes for Linux, UNIX and macOS.
The barcode engine for server and shell environments: all common symbologies in perfect quality – as spool filter, from scripts or via SDK.
Server platforms rarely get first-class barcode tooling. TBarCode/X brings the full TEC-IT engine to Linux, UNIX and macOS: generate codes from the shell, add barcodes to existing print jobs as a spool filter, or link the SDK into your own server software.
Barcode output where your systems run.
Bring barcode output into Linux, UNIX and macOS workflows, through a command-line tool, a native library or a filter in your existing print spool.
Spool filter printing
Add barcodes to existing PCL and PostScript print jobs – without changing the application.
Truly cross-platform
One engine on Linux, UNIX, AIX and macOS.
Put barcode output into your existing server jobs.
Generate from scripts, embed the library or add barcodes while print jobs pass through the spooler.
Generate from the command line.
