Barcode printing and scanning
AlisQI works with all barcode scanners that simulate keyboards (keyboard wedge). All you need to do is put your cursor in an input field and scan the barcode. The scanner will then input the value represented by the barcode as a text value in the field.

Support for Dymo label writers is deprecated. Existing installations will remain supported, new applications are no longer possible.
Dymo Labelwriters
AlisQI uses the Dymo javascript framework to print labels using the Dymo printers.
We support both the Dymo Connect for Desktop and Dymo Labelwriter 8.7.4 software.
We can only print Dymo labels from the browser from a Windows 10 OS. Earlier/other Windows versions are not supported.
You can create your own label files using the Dymo label software. We will then import your label in the AlisQI software, and link it to the dynamic fields in the AlisQI analysis-sets.
Troubleshooting
If you experience issues with printing labels on your Dymo labelprinters from AlisQI, please use these links to test your environment.
Check environment
-
Open this link:
https://s3.amazonaws.com/download.dymo.com/dymo/Software/JavaScript/CheckEnvironment/CheckEnvironment.html
- Click "Check"
- Validate that all checks are "true"
isBrowserSupported: true
isFrameworkInstalled: true
isWebServicePresent: true
errorDetails: <blank>
If the settings return "false" for at least one of these checks, please check and re-do your Dymo installation procedure.
Additionally, you can run the Dymo diagnose tool on the machine that is connected to the printer:
https://localhost:41951/DYMO/DLS/Printing/Check
This should present a "Success" message, indicating that the web service is installed and working properly.
Check Dymo software version
AlisQI currently supports Dymo Labelwriter software version 8.7.4. and Dymo Connect v1.3.1.

Print a test label
- Open this link:
https://s3.amazonaws.com/download.dymo.com/dymo/Software/JavaScript/PreviewAndPrintLabel/PreviewAndPrintLabel.html
- Make sure your printer is listed in the list of printers
- Enter a test text
- Hit the print button
- Check if your printer has printed a test label
If your printer did not print anything, the printer setup is invalid
If your printer did print a label, the error seems to be on the AlisQI side. Please contact AlisQI support.
