Printing Bar Code and Item Labels
You can print labels to affix to your items. Labels can include the SKU (item number), item price, and item bar code. For serialized items, the label can also include the serial number bar code and serial number.
Your administrator can customize the layout of your printed forms using Advanced PDF/HTML templates. To learn more, see Advanced PDF/HTML Templates.
Your user role must have Items permission set to the Edit or Full level to print bar codes and item labels. To learn more, Customizing or Creating NetSuite Roles.
The following applies to all bar codes when printing:
-
If a bar code is not resizable, NetSuite ignores Height and Width during printing. A third-party library used by NetSuite determines if a bar code is resizable.
-
Only for resizable bar codes, default Height and Width are used as follows:
-
EAN13, UPCA =1 inch
-
Code128 =none.
-
-
If the value for Height causes the Width to exceed the specified Width, the Width and Height are both adjusted to fit the label. If the value entered for Height does not cause the Width to exceed the specified width, the default width is used.
To print labels, you need Adobe Reader. Visit the Adobe Web site to download the latest version at no charge.
