  2. Label print on matrix printer

  1. Update the required label type with this program by entering the appropriate number, the name, the function and the printer name. Please note that the Function defines the type of barcode label, e.g. EAN8, EAN13, UPC etc. but only in conjunction with the appropriate print program (print on matrix or laser printer).

It is also possible to start print from menu Report -> Print labels of program Supplier item. Print on a matrix printer with Panda interface is called up from program Label via menu Report -> Print label suppl.
