Labeling • Article • 9/8/2025 • 4 min

The following procedure outlines how to integrate the Aptean Labeling extension with the BarTender software.

Select the Search icon , enter Labeling Setup, and then choose the related link.
The Labeling Setup page opens.
On the General FastTab, in the Caption Language field, select a language code from the dropdown.
On the Communication FastTab, in the Integration Type field, select BarTender.

The Integration Type field value cannot be left blank. If it is blank, the system displays a notification on the Role Center indicating that it is not configured.
In the Endpoint Label Software field, enter the URL of the endpoint selected in the Integration Type field to send labels.

For more information about the use of web services integration for the creation of the endpoint URL, see How to Set Up a Web Service Integration–BarTender Support Portal.
In the Communication Type field, select the following communication type for label batching that allows optimization of API calls when printing multiple labels.
- Single: Send labels individually in separate API calls.
- Combined: Group multiple labels into a single API call.
On the Authentication FastTab, in the Authentication field, select one of the following authentication types:
- Basic: The basic credentials set up are used for authentication when on a machine running the BarTender integration with a local admin, non-domain account.
  We recommend using this authentication type.
- Anonymous: Any user can access any public content without providing login credentials to the client browser.
  We do not recommend using this authentication type for a production environment. You can use this for testing or a sandbox environment.
In the User Name field, enter a user name that will be used as credentials for authentication.
In the Password field, enter a password name that will be used as credentials for authentication.
The set up for the BarTender software integration is complete.
