Barcode Label Printing

There are several options for printing stock labels, depending on how your business operates. This article will help you decide the best way to print your labels

This article includes:

1. Bulk Label Printing

2. Adding to an Existing Print Job

3. Replenish / Adding extra stock quantity and printing the labels

Please read Barcode Label Design for how to change the layout of the labels

 

If every item requires a separate label (for example: individual items that are brought to the till and scanned into the POS) then we would recommend that each stocked item has an individual barcode label.

If the business operates on large numbers of small items that are not suited to having a label each or large bulk products that cannot be brought to a till, then a laminated sheet of labels at the till may be a better solution.

       7. Click Print Labels

       8. Set quantities
      a) Set All Print Quantities to Max – prints out the exact number of stock in hand
      b) Set all Print quantities to 1 – Only prints a single label for each Product, irrespective of                     Stock Quantities
      c) Clear All Print Quantities – resets the count to 0
9. Create Print Job
10. Change the Print Label to the type of label you want to print

  11. Starting Label Position - To minimise waste, you have the option to start printing labels from         a different label number. See the diagram below to see the order given to each label

   12. The labels are ordered and printed from the top row, first label is top left-hand corner, then           the labels are sequential across cows, then down a column at a time. 

1, 2, 3, 4
5, 6, 7, 8

12. Print - This will take you outside the Aptimyz system to a browser print window, showing you         the print format. Using your browser print commands, send the labels to your printer. NOTE:  You must print your labels at 100%. Each browser has a different way of setting the default size. See Printing Labels from Different Browsers
