ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for printing bar coded labels employs a computer that includes an acutal keyboard having a plurality of keys and a video display and is programmed to run a bar code label design tool. The label design tool displays on a first portion of the video display a label image having dimensions corresponding to a preselected label type. The label design tool also generates and displays on the label image a bar code that encodes a preselected set of data. The bar code is generated according to a bar code standard selected from a plurality of bar code standards. The bar code label design tool also allows a user to enter text onto the label image. A key mapper displays on a second portion of the video display, different from the first portion, a keyboard image. The keyboard image includes images of letters, arranged in the way that they would appear on the actual keyboard. The letters are in a selected language font selectable from a plurality of language fonts and displayed on images of key locations that correspond to the keys of the actual keyboard. The key mapper is capable of controlling entry of text on the label image so that when a key on the actual keyboard, corresponding to a key location showing a letter in the selected language font, is depressed, the label image will include the letter in the selected language appearing on the corresponding key location. A printer prints the label image on a blank label.
