Printing Item Labels
Inventory Control allows you to print labels such as price tags that you can attach to items as you receive them from your suppliers, and to items already in your inventory.
To print labels for the bins or shelves where you store items at your inventory locations, use the Bin/Shelf Labels form. The sample label that comes with your Inventory Control package includes the item number and description, as well as the price per pricing unit.
For more information on the contents of this report, see Item Labels � Features.
When to print
Print labels when you are receiving new items into stock and want to attach price tags or other labels to the items. You specify the number of labels to print for each item when you post the receipts.
At any time, you can print labels for items already in your inventory - for example, to replace damaged labels or to update item descriptions and pricing information.
To print item labels
-
Double-click the Item Labels icon in the Stock Control Reports folder.

Make your selections in the following fields:
For Each Item [ ]. Use this field to select the items for which you want to print labels.
Use Label. Enter the name of the file (including the file extension) that contains the format for the labels you want to print, or choose the default filename. If you do not know the file name or the location of the file you want to use, click the Browse button to select from the list of directories and files.
If you choose to print labels for each item Received, make your selections.
If you choose to print labels for each item On File or In Stock, specify the label format in the Use Label field as described earlier, then make your selections.
From [ ]To [ ]. Specify the range of item numbers, categories, segments, picking sequences, or optional field entries to include in the label run.

You can either print the labels or print a sheet of dummy labels to test your format and the alignment of label forms in your printer.
If you are printing to a printer, Inventory Control displays the Print Destination dialog box to let you confirm your printer selection and change the number of copies to print. Click OK if the settings are correct; otherwise, click Cancel or Setup.
If you are printing to a file, Inventory Control displays the name of the file so you can change it or cancel printing.
If you are printing to the screen (preview), Inventory Control displays the report. If you want, you can then export it to a file or send it to the printer.
To print a test sheet of labels to check the alignment of the forms in your printer, click the Align button. This button can only be clicked if the printing destination is Printer.
