Specify the Default Barcode Label Template
In order to print barcode labels through the Order Manager, the proper barcode fonts must be installed on each workstation that will be used to print them. The barcode fonts should be installed automatically when the Order Manager is installed, but if for some reason they are not, follow the directions below to install them. A symptom of the fonts not being installed correctly is when the barcode itself does not print, only the numbers are seen.
There are several standard barcode reports that are included with the program. Additional reports created by the user, including any changes made to the standard reports, should be treated as custom reports and saved in the Custom Reports database. If modifying a standard report, be sure to save the changes with a different name so that it can be easily exported to the Custom Reports database. It is recommended that the company initials are included as part of the report name for easy identification (prefix or suffix) as a custom report. To set the default label report (template) see the instructions in the section entitled To Specify the Default Barcode Label Format, below.
The standard templates are:
Barcode Label 1 x 2 - prints a single column of labels, 1" high by 2" wide
Barcode Label 1 x 3 - prints a single column of labels, 1" high by 3" wide
Barcode Label Dymo 330 2 5/16 x 4 - prints a single column of labels, 2 5/16" high by 3 5/8" wide
Barcode Label Sato CX200 1 x 2 - prints a single column of labels, 1" high by 2" wide
Install the barcode fonts on each workstation running the Order Manager . The barcode fonts can be found in the installation directory, e.g. c:\StoneEdge. The file names are Code128.ttf, Code128N.ttf (Narrow) and Code128W.ttf (Wide).
Go to Start>Settings>Control Panel.
Double-click on the Fonts folder.
Click File>Install New Font.
Under Folders:, navigate to the Order Manager installation directory (default location is c:\StoneEdge), click the Select All button, and click OK. Make sure that the Copy fonts to Fonts folder box is checked.
At the System Parameters screen, select the Reports parameter group. To get to this screen, go to Maintenance Menu>Maintenance Tab>Set System Parameters, or click the Quick Clicks link, System Parameters, on the Main Menu.
Choose the parameter BarcodeLabelTemplate.
Select a template from the drop-down list (standard reports) or type in the name of a custom label report.

Note: When the Print Barcode Labels form is opened, the name of the report (template) that is specified in system parameter BarcodeLabelTemplate will be highlighted. If a different report is chosen from the list, it will temporarily override the system parameter value and will become the default label format for that workstation until another report is selected from this window or the View Inventory form is closed. At that time, the system default will revert to the value specified in the system parameter, BarcodeLabelTemplate.
