New features to MarkMagic 6 include:

  • New MRKMAG60 library. One of the reasons MarkMagic 6 can coexist with older MarkMagic versions is because a unique name is given to the core MarkMagic library for each new version Note: MarkMagic version 4.1 and older use: MRKMAG and MRKMAG 5 uses MRKMAG50.
  • New Print Manager Add-On Option: This “rules based” option allows users to define extremely complex print, fax, and
    email jobs with no programming. (Please see Section 5 for more details on this powerful option)
  • Native System i FAX support added to PDF/Email Option. Any format designed using the MarkMagic HPPCL5, HPLJ4P, or AFPDS printer device types can now be faxed directly from the System i without format modification. This option requires IBM Facsimile Support for System i (licensed program: 5798FAX) to be installed and functional with an enhanced services fax user profile enabled. (Please see Section 5 for more details and prerequisites)
  • New RFID Field Type. MarkMagic 6 introduces a new field type “RFID” to meet your dynamic RFID tag requirements.
    The RFID field type supports various tag encoding schemes, tag types, password locking, user data, and can optionally convert System i data to HEX.
  • New Field Usage Definition: Any variable field can have a “usage” defined as part of the field. This new feature is used mostly with RFID data and to interface with CYBRA’s native System i RFID Control Solution, EdgeMagic.
  • New Administration Menu provides increased security and control over several MarkMagic operations. Note: Security
    Officer (SECOFR) authority is required to utilize this menu.
  • Sequence Numbers allow you to predefine *SEQ numbers which can be used in MarkMagic formats. MarkMagic
    maintains a record of last number used.
  • MarkMagic 5250 Help access via the Web. Pressing “F1” will now display our detailed web documentation in your default browser.
  • New Bar Code Subtype Panels. Creating bar code fields is more intuitive then ever. Bar Code field types are now split
    into two popular subtypes, Standard One Dimensional (1D) and Two Dimensional (2D). Only required fields for each subtype are displayed on the “Work with Bar Code” screens.
  • New MarkMagic 6 Authorization Scheme. Please contact your account manager for a new code when upgrading from 4.1, 5.1, or 6.0.
  • New RFID Print Drivers added for Intermec, Sato and Datamax printer device types.

  • Datamax True Type font support: Datamax “class” printer drivers now support True Type fonts.
  • Paxar/Avery Garmet Printer Mode Support: SNAP line of print drivers including 636 and 676 now support multiple sense marks and configurable cut distance.

  • New add-on option “On Demand” allows the serving of MarkMagic forms over the internet to your customers, vendors and employees.

  • New Quick Update, upgrade option for Ver. 6.1 Mod 080620 users. This is the fastest method to upgrade from Mod 080620 to Mod 081219.
  • Added ability to print the Euro symbol using Printronix (PGL) printer types.
  • Enabled scaleable True Type font printing on Datamax “class” printer types.

  • UPCE-1 has been added a valid barcode type for HP laser printer devices and Printronix devices.

  • Printing “variable graphics” using Datamax printer types has improved significantly.

  • A critical update has been made to the Intermec printer driver resolving a problem that caused MaxiCode 2D barcodes to not print.
  • When printing PCL formats using AFP Emulation, or faxing HP laser forms, 1D barcodes now resemble the original PCL barcode more closely.
  • Updates were made to the PCL and PCLC laser printer driver including duplex printing while combining multiple graphics and barcodes, barcode sizes when printing along side graphics, “variable graphic” positioning when graphic sizes were different from page to page, and the position of 2D barcodes on landscape documents.
  • Corrected a problem that caused a program to crash when using Quick Edit on a barcode field.
  • Resolved a program error that occurred when copying formats to non-existent libraries and canceling out of the “create user library?” question.
  • Adjusted the placement of vertical lines printed using Avery Dennison printer type. Previously, lines would appear to grow in thickness to the left. They now grow in thickness to the right.
  • Changed the message received when a temporary MarkMagic license code was set to expire on that same day. Previous message was off by one day.
