Label Printing Plugin Activation

Label Printing Plugin Activation

Introduction

Label Printing Plugin is a software module that seamlessly integrates with Tagrain POS and allows you to extend the functionality of your existing Tagrain edition. It allows you to design and print your own barcodes and labels in predefined sizes. It lets you include more information than just the product code in the barcodes like batch numbers, prices, weights, etc.



If you want to design and print your own barcodes and labels then you must subscribe to and activate the Label Printing plugin.



Plugin Activation Steps

You can activate the Label Printing Plugin from the Purchase Subscription page. You can approach this page via the Plugins Screen or the Manage Accounts Section.


From the Plugins Screen

Step 1. Navigate to Home > Plugins. This will open the Plugins Grid View Screen. This screen is divided into five sections



All

Displays all the Plugins, irrespective of the fact whether they are active or not.


Active

Displays those Plugins that have an active subscription.


In-Active

Displays those Plugins that the user has not yet subscribed to.


Recommended

Displays those Plugins that, when subscribed, allow the user to upscale his business.


Integrations

Displays all the third-party Plugins seamlessly integrating with Tagrain to extend its capabilities further.



Step 2. Navigate to the “In active” section. You should see the Label Printing Plugin listed here. Click on the Activate button.



Step 3. Click the Review & Checkout button to proceed to the Purchase Subscription page.



Step 4. Navigate to the Choose Your Subscription section on the Purchase Subscription page. You should see the Label Printing Plugin ticked / selected for activation. 




When you approach the Purchase Subscription page from the Plugins screen, you will see that the Label Printing Plugin is pre-selected (ticked) for activation. 



Step 5. Review your order summary and click on the Confirm & Pay button in the Cart Detail section to proceed with activation.


Once the Label Printing Plugin is activated, an additional sub menu - Print Labels appears under Inventory. 


From the Manage Account Section

Step 1. Navigate to the admin section in the top right corner of the screen and click Manage Account. 


Step 2. On the Subscription screen that opens, click the Upgrade button to reach the Purchase Subscription page.



Step 3. Navigate to the Choose Your Subscription section on the Purchase Subscription page. You should see the Label Printing Plugin unselected. You simply need to put a tick against the activation check box on the Label Printing Plugin Tile to mark the plugin as Active.





When you approach the Purchase Subscription page from the Manage Account section, you will see that the Label Printing Plugin is not pre-selected (ticked) for activation. You will have to manually put a tick against the activation check box on the plugin tile to mark the plugin as Active.



Step 4. Review your order summary and click on the Confirm & Pay button in the Cart Detail section to proceed with activation.


Once the Label Printing Plugin is activated, an additional sub menu - Print Labels appears under Inventory.  


Print Label Settings 

The print label settings can be configured and managed from the Print Barcode Label screen. 


Step 1. Navigate to Home > Inventory > Print Label. This will open the Print Barcode Label Screen. 




Set the label printing format in Tagrain POS - Dymo Label Printers

The DYMO Label Printer supports continuous printing. In order to ensure that your labels are printed correctly, you must select the Continuous Feed radio button and then select a Label Type from the drop down. Label Type is nothing but the dimensions (length x breadth) of your labels to be printed on a Dymo Label Printer.




The Select a Label Type setting is only available for Dymo Label Printers and determines the size of the Label that you intend to print using your Dymo Printer. You can pick a predefined Label Type from the drop-down list.





The Dymo Label printers require special printing drivers to ensure accurate label printing. Please make sure that you have the latest software and driver for your Dymo Printer installed on your Windows machine. Once the drivers are installed, you should be able to print labels and barcodes straight from your Tagrain retail POS system. See: Dymo Label Printer Compatibility Chart





Set the label printing format in Tagrain POS - Generic Label Printers

In case you are using a Label Printer other than the Dymo Label Printer, you can select the Label Sheets option.



The Label Sheets option lets you select the number of labels that you want to print on a single sheet of paper.


The Skip Label Count setting is available for non Dymo Label Printers and allows you to skip the labels from printing. You can imagine an A4 size paper that is divided into grids (Rows and Columns), and each grid represents a Label.


When you set 1 as the Skip Label Count value and give the Print command, the printer will start printing the Labels from the 2nd grid, skipping the 1st grid. This can be well seen in the Print Preview section.


This means that the count specified in the Skip Label Count field will determine the number of grids to be skipped. The table below explains this further.

  • Price

  • Barcode

  • Product Code

Under the Include In Print section, toggle the switch ON adjacent to the information that you want to include in the Barcode.
