Barcode Label Printing

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.

Bulk Label Printing

       1. From the Dashboard, select Inventory> Products
       2. Use Search to identify the products you wish to print labels for

 

       3. Using the 3 dots next to Add Product > Print Labels

      4. Select the products that need labels printing

      5. Print Labels

      6. Using the radio buttons, select the product that you want to print labels for

       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 rows, then down a column at a time. 

1, 2, 3, 4
5, 6, 7, 8
9, 10, 11, 12
13, 14, 15, 16, etc

     13. 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
