<P>You should be able to attain this functionality with certain types of Bar Code Printers. I would check with manufacturers from Printronix, Zebra and Intermec. I believe they offer printers that have relay outputs that create a contact closure that is event specific (such as the label just printed and is ready for removal). That can be used to connect up to a larger device such as a light, buzzer, etc. </P><P>>Best Regards,<BR>><BR>>Rick Schweitzer<BR>>Information Systems Engineering<BR>>Paper-Less, LLC<BR>><A HREF=mailto:rick.schweitzer@xxxxxxxxxxx>mailto:rick.schweitzer@xxxxxxxxxxx</A><BR>>www.gopaper-less.com<BR>>Business: 207-676-2118<BR>>mobile: 207-423-4860<BR>>mobile messaging: 2074234860@xxxxxxxxxxx</P><P>> <BR>><FONT SIZE=2><B>mapics-l-request@xxxxxxxxxxxx</B></FONT><BR>><FONT SIZE=2>Sent by: mapics-l-bounces@xxxxxxxxxxxx</FONT><BR>><FONT SIZE=2>01/28/2004 12:00 PM</FONT><BR>><FONT SIZE=2>Please respond to mapics-l</FONT><BR>><BR>> <FONT SIZE=2>To:</FONT> <FONT SIZE=2>mapics-l@xxxxxxxxxxxx</FONT><BR>> <FONT SIZE=2>cc:</FONT> <BR>> <FONT SIZE=2>bcc:</FONT> <BR>> <FONT SIZE=2>Subject:</FONT> <FONT SIZE=2>MAPICS-L Digest, Vol 2, Issue 25</FONT><BR>> <BR>><BR>></P><P>><FONT FACE="Courier">Send MAPICS-L mailing list submissions to<BR>>mapics-l@xxxxxxxxxxxx</FONT><BR>><BR>><FONT FACE="Courier">To subscribe or unsubscribe via the World Wide Web, visit<BR>><A HREF=http://lists.midrange.com/mailman/listinfo/mapics-l>http://lists.midrange.com/mailman/listinfo/mapics-l</A></FONT><BR>><FONT FACE="Courier">or, via email, send a message with subject or body 'help' to<BR>>mapics-l-request@xxxxxxxxxxxx</FONT><BR>><BR>><FONT FACE="Courier">You can reach the person managing the list at<BR>>mapics-l-owner@xxxxxxxxxxxx</FONT><BR>><BR>><FONT FACE="Courier">When replying, please edit your Subject line so it is more specific<BR>>than "Re: Contents of MAPICS-L digest..."<BR>></FONT><BR>><BR>><FONT FACE="Courier">Today's Topics:<BR>></FONT></P><UL><FONT FACE="Courier">1.
