Re: Printing Barcodes on Labels

You'd need to make the field into a barcode field, here're the steps and a screenshot to illustrate:

[1] Select barcode field (or the field you'd like to turn into a barcode field)

[2] Make sure the "Use Code39 Barcode Delimiters" button is toggled

[3] Make sure the font is set to "3 of 9 Barcode"

Once you save changes you'll have a barcode printing on this label.

Re: Printing Barcodes on Labels

Thanks John.

I have done the above and the good news is that the EAN number is now displayed in barcode format.

Unfortunately my bar code scanner does not recognise the actual bar code printed from Easify!

I will have a look at the settings on my Barcode scanner to see if I need to change anything on that.

Re: Printing Barcodes on Labels

The printer settings may help, increasing the size of the barcode on the label may help too.

Re: Printing Barcodes on Labels

Thanks John.

I have increased the font to 26 and now it is the same size as it is on one of my existing products. However it still does not scan.

My Scanner is the recommended Opticon one.

When I compare the two barcodes which should be the same (i.e. the one on the existing product and the one I have just generated from Easify they do look slightly different (if you want me to scan in the barcodes then please let me know).

So I am stumped! I am currently printing on plain A4 paper but when I can get it working I will buy a Zebra label machine from your website but don't think the quality of paper should make a difference.

Re: Printing Barcodes on Labels

Yes please email us pictures of both labels, side by side support@easify.co.uk

Also, please export your custom label in the paperwork designer and email us the exported file so we can analyse it in conjunction with the label pictures.

Re: Printing Barcodes on Labels

Looks like this is my fault, please try the following code in the value formula editor:

if ({Product.EANCode} != '')

{

return '*' + {Product.EANCode} + '*';

} else {

return '*' + {Product.SKU} + '*';

}

Re: Printing Barcodes on Labels

Thanks John.

I have just tried that and still no joy!

The Barcode does print out but does not scan.

The new Barcode is different to the earlier one.

I look forward to hearing from you,

Thank you

Re: Printing Barcodes on Labels

Looking at the exported label you emailed us, the font is too large so not all of the product code is showing on one line.

Reduce the font size to 24 and make sure the whole product number as well as the asterisks are displaying on that line... you can temporarily change the font to something readable to make this easier to check.

Re: Printing Barcodes on Labels

Morning John

I have reduced the size to 24 but still no joy.

I have emailed you the export file of the report.

Thanks
