How to generate and print barcode in Vatrix POS

One-line answer: Vatrix can create a barcode for any
item that does not carry one from the manufacturer, and print it as a
label with the item name and price. This is used in the Retail, Retail
2nd Edition and Weigh Scale editions for loose goods, garments,
cosmetics and own-brand products.

Before you start

• A label printer must be installed in Windows and selected in
  Barcode Label Settings (see How to Setup Barcode
  Label Printer with Vatrix POS and ERP).
• The item must exist in Master → Item Master.
• Load the correct label roll before you print.

Steps

1. Open Master → Item Master and select the item by
   Item Code or description. The item details load on the
   form.
2. Click Generate Barcode. Vatrix fills the
   Barcode / PLU field with a new number based on the
   Barcode Auto generation Settings (starting number set
   in Barcode Label Settings).
   
3. Click Update to save the barcode against the
   item.
4. Click Print Barcode. The Print Barcode screen opens
   with Item Code, Item Description,
   Barcode and Qty columns.
   
5. Enter the number of labels in Qty. To print labels
   for more items in the same run, type the next Item Code
   and click Add Item.
6. Click Print. The labels come out of the label
   printer with the barcode, item description and price as set in your
   label layout.
7. Scan one label in Transaction → POS Invoice to
   confirm the item is picked up.

Scanning the new label in POS Invoice adds the correct item and price
to the invoice line.

Common problems

• Generate Barcode does nothing → the starting number
  is not set. Open Barcode Label Settings, fill
  Starting No under Barcode Auto generation
  Settings and click Save.
• Label prints blank or cut → wrong label size. Set
  Barcode Label Size width and height to match the roll,
  then Apply.
• Scanner does not read the label → increase
  Barcode Height and Barcode Width in
  the label settings and print again.
