Written By Jesse McIntire

Last updated About 1 month ago

1. Print a single item barcode from the item record

  • Open the specific item you want to label.

  • Scroll to the Barcode section.

  • Click Print.

  • A print preview opens showing the barcode on a single label/page, ready to print on standard 8.5" x 11" paper.

2. Open the bulk barcode printing tool from Inventory

  • Go to the Inventory tab.

  • Click Print Barcodes to open the bulk barcode dialog.

  • This tool lets you generate barcode labels for multiple items at once.

3. Optionally include storage location data in the barcode

  • Turn on the Storage Location option if you want the barcode/QR code to include location information.

  • Select the relevant site.

  • Select the storage location.

  • This makes scans more informative because the location ID is embedded and can be used to pull in additional details later.

4. Configure label size, orientation, columns, spacing, and margins

  • Set the label width and height.

  • Choose orientation: horizontal or vertical.

  • Set the number of columns to control how many labels print across the page.

  • Adjust label spacing:

    • Horizontal gap

    • Vertical gap

  • Adjust page margins:

  • Use the preview/print action to see how the layout will render on the page.

5. Resolve layout warnings by adjusting dimensions or spacing

  • If you see a warning that the label size exceeds the maximum page width, reduce the label width or adjust margins/spacing.

  • Once the layout fits, the warning disappears and the labels render correctly in the chosen number of columns.Β 

6. Save a preset for reuse

  • After configuring settings you want to reuse, click Save Preset.

  • Give the preset a name.

  • The preset is saved for future quick selection.

7. Load a saved preset later

  • Reopen the bulk barcode dialog.

  • By default, no preset is selected.

  • Choose your saved preset from the preset dropdown.

  • The saved label settings load automatically, so you can print with the same configuration again.
