The Label Printing plugin, when subscribed to and activated, allows you to design and print your own barcodes and labels in predefined sizes.It supports a wide range of Label Printers from Dymo Label Printers to Generic Label Printers to accomplish this task. 

In brief, the plugin incorporates these business processes:

Advanced Barcodes with embedded price / weight info (barcode masking)

The application lets you decide what information related to the product you want to include in the barcode.

Label design and printing

This Label Printing plugin in will allow you to design your own labels in the predefined sizes available.

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 Label Sheets option is available for Generic Label Printers and allows you to select the number of labels that you want to print on a single sheet of paper.

The Skip Label Count setting is available for Generic 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.
