Barcodes and labels

You do not need to set anything up to scan. Every item already has a code: its Barcode if you typed one, otherwise its SKU. A tagged unit's code is its Asset tag.

Give an item a code

1. Open the item and open More.
2. Type its SKU, or the supplier's code from the box in Barcode.

A scanner reads the barcode first, then the SKU. Case does not matter.

Print labels

1. Open Inventory and press Labels beside the tabs.
2. Find the items with Find an item and tick them, or press Pick all to take every item shown.
3. Pick the Label size:
   • Address labels, 2⅝ × 1 in (30 a sheet, Avery 5160)
   • Shipping labels, 4 × 2 in (10 a sheet, Avery 5163)
   • Label roll, 2¼ × 1¼ in (thermal printer)
4. On a sheet with some labels already used, set Start at label to the first empty one.
5. Press Print.
6. In the print dialog, set the scale to 100% and the margins to none.

To print one item's label, press Print label on its page.

Good to know

• Each label has the item's name, its code as a Code 128 barcode, and its shelf if it has one.
• For a tagged item, tick One label per tagged unit or vinyl top, with its tag to get a label for each unit.
• Any scanner reads Code 128, and so does the phone camera on the Scan page.
• Quote and invoice PDFs print a barcode of their number, so the paperwork scans too.
• What to do with a scanner once the labels are on: Scan items.

If something goes wrong

• Some picked items have no label. They have neither a barcode nor a SKU. Give each one a SKU or barcode under More.
• The labels print off the sheet. The print scale is not 100% or the margins are not none. Change them in the print dialog.
