Release Notes
: TEKLYNX CENTRAL CFR - Release Notes

What is 21 CFR Part 11?: Title 21 is the portion of the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) that governs food and drugs within the United States. 21 CFR, as it is commonly known, has nearly 1,500 subparts. One of those, Part 11, is the FDA regulation that imposes certain requirements on a firm when it chooses to make electronic records equivalent to both paper records and handwritten signatures. The intent of the regulation is to ensure that electronic records and computer validation signatures are trustworthy, reliable, and generally equivalent substitutes for paper records and traditional handwritten signatures.

What technology does TEKLYNX CENTRAL CFR use for enterprise label management and printing?: The label design component of TEKLYNX CENTRAL CFR is powered by CODESOFT and the label management module is powered by LABEL ARCHIVE. The browser-based printing interface is powered by LABELNET, while the central print management is powered by SENTINEL.

What languages does CODESOFT support?: Europe, Middle-East and Africa range: Arabic, Czech, Danish, Dutch, English, Estonian, Finnish, French, German, Hebrew, Hungarian, Italian, Latvian, Norwegian, Polish, Portuguese, Romanian, Russian, Spanish, Swedish, Turkish.

Can I give specific rights to different users?: Yes, you can configure users to have access to different features in TEKLYNX CENTRAL CFR, as well as configure your system to control user access to labels and printers.

Can my users visually validate labels at print time?: The browser-based printing interface displays a preview of the label directly above the Print button. If variable information is added at print time, the preview is updated to display that information.

Can I prevent users from modifying my label designs and printing unapproved labels?: The label design cannot be modified at print time. TEKLYNX CENTRAL CFR provides authority checks to ensure that only authorized individuals can use the system and/or electronically sign a record.

What reporting options does TEKLYNX CENTRAL CFR offer?: Reports can be created on print history or document modification. The reports can be customized to display the most critical information for your business.

Can I track and report on my print history?: Yes, a Print History report can be generated on the server.

How is TEKLYNX CENTRAL CFR licensed?: TEKLYNX CENTRAL CFR is licensed by the number of printers, print users, label design users, and reporting users you need. After you’ve purchased TEKLYNX CENTRAL CFR, you can easily add printers and users as your company grows.

Can I centrally manage all my user licenses and rights for all components of my enterprise labeling system?: Yes, all printers, print users, label design users, and report users are managed on a single server. Authentication can be configured to use TEKLYNX user security or Windows Active Directory.

Do I need to install anything on individual workstations in order to print?: No, the browser based printing interface launches in your Internet Explorer browser, so no separate software installation is needed.

What database does CENTRAL CFR use to store labels and configuration data?: The label and configuration data is stored in a Microsoft SQL database. The data that prints on the label can be queried through any OLE database connection.

Where do I manage my printers?: Printers are installed, configured, and managed on the server, giving you peace of mind that the printer settings won’t be inappropriately adjusted on individual workstations.

Can I print outside the company network?: Yes, when the browser-based printing interface is published on a public domain, users can print to printers connected to their local network. A browser-based user interface allows for label selection and true Internet printing from anywhere in the world!
