Abstract
The present invention provides apparatus, systems and methods providing a printer interface in a global communications environment for a shipping management system resident on a server computer device remote from a user client computer device, that creates an image of a shipping label with dimensionally accurate symbologies, such as a bar code label, for display on a remote display device and for printing on a remote printing device, such as a laser printer, configured with the remote user client computer device. The present invention provides apparatus, systems and methods providing a printer interface that recognizes the graphic resolution for each printer, including laser printers, configured with each of a plurality of remote user client computer devices, wherein the printer interface communicates with each remote user client computer device over a global communications network. The present invention provides apparatus, systems and methods for creating a shipping label image bearing a dimensionally accurate symbology for display on a display device configured with the particular remote user client computer device for printing on the particular printer device.
