Create Barcode Blaster label printer defaults

When to use this procedure

Use this procedure to set up your barcode label styles for your Barcode Blaster label printer. Once created, you can assign the defaults to your inventory subcategories.

Note: For consignment stores that set up automatic discounts, you may choose to add the discount periods and levels to your barcode labels (for example, $20.00 Jan 1 -Feb 1, $17.00 Feb 2 - March 1, and so on) or you may choose to reprint labels as discounts apply.

Steps to complete

  1. On the Setup Barcode Blaster Defaults window, click Add (the larger button at the bottom of the window).
  2. Enter a label for your new defaults in the Description box.
  3. Indicate if this default is for your serialized and accessories inventory or for your titles inventory.
  4. Click Default. Common default values are filled into the grid.

Steps 5-10 are optional steps.

  1. Select a value in the Barcode Font Override box if you want to override the default font size of the barcode (Inventory Number).
  2. Click in any row and make updates as needed.
  3. If you want to add an item to your labels, click Add (the smaller button below the grid) and complete the columns as desired.
  4. If you don't want a certain item to print on labels, highlight that row and click Delete (the smaller button below the grid).
  5. Enter a SKU in the Sku for Test Label box to print a test label when you click Save.
  6. Click Save. On the message that displays, click Yes to apply this default set to any subcategory that does not have a current Barcode Blaster default, or click No to continue without applying the new default to subcategories.
  7. Repeat steps 1-10 as many times as you'd like, creating as many sets of barcode defaults as you need.
  8. To apply your new default to specific inventory subcategories, do so by selecting this label default in the Barcode box on the Edit Sub Categories window.
