Printing area adjustment

Some thermal printers require calibration so the information is displayed correctly on the label. You can increase or decrease the height (Y) and/or width (X). You can also change the direction by selecting the Rotate 180 degrees check box.

Options

This section allows you to customize how the information is displayed on the labels.
  • Use the sell price with tax when labeling: On your label, the displayed pricing will include taxes.
  • Do not display "New" caption: You can choose to remove the New mention on your new product labels.
  • Print labels even if no retail price: If a purchased item has no retail price in your Inventory, a label will be printed anyway.

Label printing for quantity products

For Quantity type products, you can decide whether or not you want to print a label for each item in your inventory.

UPC on product labels

By clicking on the drop-down menu, you can choose which UPC you want to be displayed on your labels (UPC # 1, UPC vendor, etc.).

UPC to use for the barcode on the product labels

This option lets you select which UPC will be displayed on the labels as the item's barcode.

Origin information on the label

This option applies to serialized products. On your labels, you can add information (phone number, email, website, etc...) which will represent the point of origin.

Automatic price on labels section

If you click on the drop-down menu, you can determine if you want to print your labels with or without price. This can also be set on a product to product basis (Inventory module > Catalog list > Find product > Double click > In the Edit price list window, under the Miscellaneous tab).
 
It is possible that after a Windows or an Alice POS update that the configuration is wiped. If this happens, simply re-enter the information as it was prior to the update.
