BarTender 2022 R7

September 25, 2023

New Features

  • Updated BarTender to support .NET 6.
    • Note, the BarTender installer only installs the required .NET 6 dependencies. If there are any existing .NET 5 (or older) components installed on a system from previous installations, they will have to be manually uninstalled if desired. The BarTender installer will not automatically uninstall any previous .NET Core components and update them to .NET 6. This is because in some rare cases, users may have other applications that use and rely on older .NET components.

Known Issues

The following are some notable issues to be aware of when using BarTender 2022 Print Station and Print Portal. We are aware of these issues and our development team is looking to address them in a later release of BarTender.

  • When using Print Station and Print Portal to print serialized labels, the pervious serialized value is not automatically saved with the BarTender document. In order for the previous serialized value to be saved, change the Save documents setting in the Advanced tab of Print Portal/Print Station to ‘Always save’.
  • Using conditional document and form actions with Print Station and Print Portal will be supported in a later release.
  • Newly installed printers may not display in Print Portal until the Windows Internet Information Services (IIS) application pool (BPP_AppPool) is restarted.
