Usage
When introducing new product lines, ClickPOS requires that all products must have a unique barcode. Some products dont come with barcodes, so you have an option of making up your own, and further ability to print adhesive barcode labels to stick onto the products. In turn a speedy sale process. Some clients like to create a label for all their products. Such as giftware etc.
1. Create your own product labels for pricing, As you add stock, the label printer will print pricing lables with barcodes on them.
Below is a sample output of label. Adhesive label size 75w x 23h. Other small size includes 45w x 15h

2. Print a list of Products with Barcodes along side all product. Used for when selling small or non barcoded items. Simply print a catalogue and make a folder so staff at shopfront can use to sell products. To Print list go to Reports > Maintenance reports > Product List report 5-2
NOTE: if you are creating your own labels in Word or Excel, you must include an asterisk * on both sides of the barcode.
Also note that in MS Word, when you type the end asterisk, the characters changes to Bold, you need to undo, that is Ctrl Z, then highlight the entire barcode including the asterisks, then change to the barcode font. You will also require using minimum of font size 14+, and printing on high quality laser printer.
