Manage your label printer styles

When to use this procedure

Use this procedure to establish and update the label styles for any barcode label printer other than Barcode Blaster printers. You must set up label styles before you can set up your label defaults on the Setup Barcode Defaults window.

Note: For consignment stores that set up automatic discounts, you may choose to add the discount periods and levels to your barcode labels (for example, $20.00 Jan 1 -Feb 1, $17.00 Feb 2 - March 1, and so on) or you may choose to reprint labels as discounts apply.

Steps to complete

On the Add/Change Label Styles window, click Load Defaults. Seven default label styles are created for you. These label styles are available through Tri-Tech.
Review the details of each style and complete any of the following optional steps.
Update the label description. This description displays when you set up your label defaults on the Setup Barcode Defaults window and when you set up your barcode defaults for your subcategories on the Edit Sub Categories window.
Define the page size (the actual size of the media roll) in the Page Width and Page Height boxes.
Define the actual size of the individual labels on your media in the Label Width and Label Height boxes.
Define the margins for your printed labels in the Margin Top, Margin Bottom, Margin Left, and Margin Right boxes.
To print more than one barcode label from left to right on your media, enter the number of columns in the # of Columns box and enter the position of each column in the Col Positions box (separated by semi-colons).
Enter the amount of vertical padding between labels in the Row Spacing box.
If you want to print on both sides of the labels, select either Horizontal or Vertical in the Duplex options. Only use this option if your label media is double-sided.
If you want to print your labels using the short side of the label paper, select Portrait in the Orientation options; otherwise, select Landscape.
Click Save.
Click Add and repeat steps 3-11 if you want to create new styles. You may define as many label styles as you need.
