We strongly recommend only bulk label printing from infusion browser and not Electron POS. Infusion Browser provides access to all configuration settings, allowing for labels to print correctly. We cannot guarantee that Electron POS will correctly bulk print labels.
Setting up for printing labels
Label printing is enabled by default with the formats we have created. A user can change the selected format but should confirm they are correct.
To enable label printing, open the Settings module, and go to Product Settings.
Locate the Label Printing section, choose Edit and select the desired options:
-
Price Level to Print – This is which price level to print, when printing the bulk labels.
-
Print Receiving Labels Based On – this is the number of labels printed, based on the set up of the item. This can be a fixed quantity, the number or selling or purchasing units on the product receipt, or a number per selling or purchasing unit
-
Product Label – This determines which label template to use for the product label
-
Receipting Product Label - This determines which label template to use for the Receipting Product Label. This is the only one used when printing labels from the receipting function.
-
Shelf Product Label - This determines which label template to use for the Shelf Product Label
The Print Receiving Labels Based On information can also be set on a per product basis under the Settings tab of the product. Infusion uses the information in the Settings first.
Receipt Label Printing
Once a receipt quantity is added to a product line on a Product Receipt, a new button “Review Labels” appears.
Selecting this button brings up a window summarising the number of entered items on the Product Receipt.
The # of Labels figure for each product draw from the Product settings first and then the chosen figures in the Settings module if theres no entered amount on the product itself. These can be overwritten to print additional labels as required.
Products set to Do Not Print Labels will not be included in the list presented.
If the total number of labels to print is more than 500, Infusion will provide a warning alerting you to this:
You can still print if you see this warning, just ensure that the label printing is correctly set up.
If the number of labels being printed is more than 5000, Infusion will display the alert :
Use the filters to restrict the number of labels to less than 5000 to be able to bulk print the product labels
Choose Print to begin printing the labels from the Purchase Receipt.
Printing will create the PDF for the labels selected, the print from the PDF view will take you to the print dialogue to select the correct printer etc.
If the product doesnt have a barcode, the product code will be used on the price label instead as the barcode. This is only if the product code is numbers. If all or part of the product code isn't numbers, no barcode will be generated
When bulk printing labels, we recommend using a scale of Fit to printable area. This gives the best fit for printed labels, regardless of the printer and label layout settings.
Reprinting labels from a purchase order receipt
To reprint labels from a purchase order receipt, locate that purchase order receipt in the Receipts submodule and open it. If the purchase order receipt hasnt been invoiced yet, use the Review Labels button to reprint labels.
