Printing Item Labels in Bulk

Use the following procedure to print item labels in bulk.

To bulk print labels:

  1. Go to Transactions > Management > Print Checks and Forms.

  2. Click Item Labels.

  3. On the Print Item Labels page, the Item Type field defaults to Inventory Item.

    You can select another item type to print labels for, such as Numbered Inventory.

  4. Check the Print Non-sellable Items box to print labels for items not generally sold on a sales transaction. These items are more often used for information or pricing. Non-sellable items include description, discount, markup, and payment items.

  5. In the Item Label Layout field, select the layout you prefer to use to print.

    Note:

    The standard item label layout supports Avery 5260 labels.

    You can create custom label layouts at Customization > Forms > Transaction Forms. Click the Customize link next to Standard Item Label Layout.

  6. If you use Multiple Currencies, select which currency you want to print labels for.

  7. In the Starting Label field, enter a number to identify the location on the page you want to begin printing. For example, entering 1 starts printing in the first label on the sheet. This lets you save labels by printing on sheets that are partially used.

  8. Optionally, check one or more of the following boxes:

    • Print Name/Number Bar Code - print the item name and bar code on each label

    • Print Display Name/Number - print the display name on each label

    • Print Serial Number Bar Code - print a bar code generated from the serial number in addition to the name/number bar code on each label

    • Print Expiration Date - if you use lot items, print the expiration date on lot item labels

  9. If you want to print the price on each label:

    • Check the Print Sales Price box

    • Select a price level to print in the Price Level field

      Note:

      If a selected price level is not set on an item record, the next available set price level prints on the item’s label. For more information, see Setting Up Items for Multiple Price Levels.

  10. Enter values in one or more of the item label list columns. For more information, see Item Label List Columns.

  11. Click Print.

    • If you do not use the Download PDF Files preference, a preview of your labels appears in Adobe Acrobat or Adobe Reader. This preference is in Home > Set Preferences.

    • If you use the Download PDF Files preference, you must first save your labels, and then open them with the Adobe application.

    Place your labels in your printer tray.

  12. Click the printer button in the Adobe application frame.

  13. Click OK.
