Printing bar-code labels

Use this procedure to generate a comma-separated value (CSV) file that can be downloaded to your PC and imported into bar code label printing software to print bar code or space labels.

Location detail

How does the bar-code label printer work?

You must define any location detail for which you want to print a label.

Print one or more bar-code labels

  1. Access Asset Bar Code Labels (AM153).
  2. Specify the print request. Specify this information:
    Print Number of Labels

    Select how many labels you need. If you are going to add five new items, for example, request five labels. The printer generates the next five available numbers.

    Note: Do not use this field to specify a number of space bar code labels; use the Number of Duplicates field instead.
    Number of Duplicates

    • For reserved bar codes, you specify a number of duplicates for any item with quantities higher than 1.

    • For assigned asset bar codes, or space bar codes, you specify a number of duplicates to replace existing damaged bar-code labels.

      Note: Depending on your inventory practices You could also have duplicate space labels in an inventory space. For example, if a space is a room with several doors, you would probably want to place an identical space label on each door. A space label uniquely identifies a location and location detail
    Print Asset Bar Code Label: Asset, Item

    Use these fields to reprint one or more copies of an assigned bar-code label. Select the asset and item number. The program will find the appropriate bar code.

    Note: If you use these fields, the Print Number of labels, Location, and Location Level fields must be blank.
    Print Space Bar Code Label: Location, Location Detail Level 1, Location Detail Level 2, Location Detail Level 3

    Use these fields to print one or more copies of a space label. A space label uniquely identifies a location and location detail.

    Note: The Location and Location Detail must be defined in Asset Management. You can request duplicates of the space label. The Print Number of Labels, Asset, and Item fields must be blank.
  3. Download the comma-separated value (CSV) file to your PC and import the file into bar code printing software.
