Inventory Label Setup

Previous pageReturn to chapter overviewNext page

By Default

When you create an inventory item, POSitive assumes you will be using Label Form 1.  Label Form 1 is designed to print barcode labels on a full 8x11 sheet of paper with 3 labels across and 10 labels down. This automatic setup will allow you to print labels on your full page laser or inkjet printer.

 

Optional Setup

Before selecting a different type of label, you must first determine:

what type of printer will be used for printing the labels and

what the dimensions of the label need to be

 

POSitive has prepared a dozen label styles which you may be able to use instead of Label Form 1.

Go to File: Editors: Inventory Label Editor.  (See: Labels List)

Some of these labels are specifically for a Zebra (Eltron) brand label printer and you will need to have that printer installed and operational before you can print the labels.

 
Additional Customization

The Label Editor allows you to manipulate existing labels or create entirely new label formats. (See:Advanced Label Printing)
