Printing Inventory Labels

Placing an inventory label on items makes it easier to keep track of items.  An inventory label contains information such as the itemid, productid, sku, title, and barcodes to help easily identify, find and order records in SixBit.  See Barcode Scanners for more information on using barcode scanners with inventory labels.

 

To print inventory labels, define the printer  to be used for the labels and print the labels from the Sell Items mode.

 

To customize inventory labels, please see Customizing Reports.

  1. Open the SixBit Options window.     How?How?Click the File Menu button in the upper left corner and then choose SixBit Options in the lower right corner of the popup.
