Print product / shelf labels

Steps

1. Labels → Print Labels. You land on "What do you want to print?" — this screen always starts from a source, it doesn't let you build a list from scratch:

   • Batch labels from a GRN — takes you to Purchases to pick the goods receipt (→ LBL-04 covers this path).
   • Product labels — takes you to Products, where each row has a print icon.

   

   1 is Print Labels in the sidebar, 2 is the GRN route — price & expiry labels for a received purchase — and 3 is the product route — shelf tags & product barcodes. The screen's own subtitle says why it works this way: start from where your stock lives and the right template is chosen for you.

   

   On the Products list, 2 is the print-label icon that sends that product to the label builder. It is on every row — you don't have to open the product first.

2. Review the list and set quantities.

   

   • 1 — the Template. Change it here if the wrong one was picked for you.
   • 2 — the template's size (50 × 30 mm) and its Required variables — Product Name, MRP, Scan Code. A row missing one of these cannot print.
   • 3 — the Quantity mode: Same for all (one fixed count for every row), Per received unit (uses the GRN's received quantity), or Per row (type a number per line).
   • 4 — Copies, the count used by Same for all.
   • 5 — each row is checked before you go on: Valid with a tick and Ready to print. under MESSAGE. A row that fails says so here instead.
   • 6 — Continue, which carries the label count, e.g. Continue (1).

3. Continue — preview the sheet, labels laid out exactly as they'll print. The header tells you what you are about to use, e.g. 1 record(s) · 1 label(s) · 36/page · 1 page(s) — check the page count before a big run.

4. Print / Save PDF.

⚠ Printer setup (once per machine — barcodes depend on it)

The browser's own print dialog opens on top of the sheet preview.

• 1 — Destination: your label printer, or a PDF writer to check first.
• 2 — More settings. This is the one that matters: Scale and Margins live under it, not on the front panel. Set scale 100% (never "fit to page"), margins None, and the correct paper size. A scaled barcode may look fine and still not scan.
• 3 — Print. 4 is the sheet preview behind the dialog — the top-left label should sit where the top-left label sits on your physical sheet.

Common problems

• Barcodes won't scan — 9 times out of 10 it's print scaling; reprint at 100%.
• Misaligned on the sheet — template dimensions vs stationery (→ LBL-02).
• A row won't print — check the STATUS column in the builder. The template's Required variables must all have a value on that row.
