How to customize barcode print in Vatrix POS

One-line answer: Barcode Label Settings controls
what your labels look like: the label size, the barcode height and
width, the font, and whether the company name, item description, price
or cost code is printed. Use it in the Retail, Retail 2nd Edition and
Weigh Scale editions to match any label roll.

Before you start

• The label printer must be installed in Windows.
• Measure your label roll in millimetres (width and height of one
  label).
• Have one item ready to test with.

Steps

1. Open Master → Item Master and click BARCODE
   PRINT OPTIONS. The Barcode Label Settings screen opens.
2. Choose your Printer name from the list so labels go
   to the label printer, not the receipt printer.
   
3. Under Barcode Label Size, enter the
   Width, Height and
   Length of one label to match your roll.
4. Set Barcode Height and Barcode
   Width. A taller, wider barcode scans more easily; keep it
   inside the label size.
5. Tick the fields you want printed: COMPANY NAME,
   Item Code, Item Description,
   Price or Price Inc. Vat, Cost
   Code and FC (foreign currency price). Untick
   what you do not need.
   
6. Set Font Size and tick Bold if the
   text should stand out.
7. If you print a hidden cost code on labels, open Cost Code
   Setting and define the letters used for each digit.
8. Click Preview to see the label layout on screen,
   then Save and Apply.
   
9. Print one test label from Print Barcode and scan it
   in Transaction → POS Invoice.

Check it worked

The test label shows the fields you ticked, fits inside the label
without cutting, and the scanner reads it on the first try.

Common problems

• Text runs off the label → reduce Font
  Size or untick a field. Check the Width and
  Height match the roll.
• Two labels print for one item → the label
  Length is larger than the physical label. Reduce it to
  the measured size.
• Labels come out of the receipt printer → the wrong
  Printer name is selected. Choose the label printer and
  click Apply.
