[en] Recall only drivers only perform recall operations. Store operations are not possible. You use third-party software (usually provided by your printer manufacturer) to design labels and download them to your printers. NiceLabel software sets label variable values and performs recall operations to print your labels. With the Recall option, your driver selects preloaded labels in your printer and updates your variable fields.
[en] You can download NiceLabel Desktop Designer and Loftware drivers from our website.
