# Label Printing

# Summary

Use this screen to print labels for stocked items in your Stores.

Use the filters and search to locate the Products for which you need to print labels.

<p class="callout warning">Made to Order Products without Stock will not be displayed here; for a Made to Order Product to display, you must add a USR with specific options</p>

## Printing Labels

### Setup

Labels can be printed either via a dedicated label printer, or via a standard A4 printer.

#### Dedicated Printer

Labels can be printed via a dedicated [STAR printers](https://bookstack.iconography.co.uk/books/device-setup/chapter/hardware).

This will require separate setup; please contact Iconography if you have have not purchased a printer.

#### Standard Printer

Labels will be printed on standard A4 paper; this should be done on pre cut A4 label sheets.

To configure the size of these labels, you should use 'product label layout (A4 sheet)' in [Site Settings](https://bookstack.iconography.co.uk/books/site-settings/page/summary).

### How to Print Labels

Use the filters at the top of the screen to refine your results, and then tick the items for which you would like to print labels.

<p class="callout info">Be sure to tick the box to include Product Prices if required</p>

Be sure to amend the quantities accordingly.

<p class="callout warning">The quantities will default to the number of stock on hand</p>

<p class="callout info">In order to print labels for Products with no stock, you must set the Store filter to 'All'</p>

### Pre-print using a specific date

If entered, labels will print with a simulated date. For example, if you have entered sale prices to take effect from the 1st May, you can enter the 2nd May as your date, and any labels printed will print as though it were that date, along with any special offer prices that would then be active.

This function will take into account:

- Special Offer Prices with Start and End Dates as set against the Variant Tab
- The same against Unique Stock Records
- [Scheduled price changes](https://bookstack.iconography.co.uk/books/price-management "Price Management") (any field, e.g. RRP/Retail/Special Offer)

## Label Types

There are six types of label:

1. Price Labels
2. Warehouse (Reservation) Labels
3. Warehouse (Free Stock) Labels
4. Variant Tickets

# Configuring Tickets

Tickets are a type of Label, and can be printed from the [Label Printing](https://bookstack.iconography.co.uk/books/label-printing "Label Printing") screen.

These are designed to be printed on a colour printer, and are for shop floor display. They come in three varieties:

1. [Variant](https://bookstack.iconography.co.uk/books/label-printing/page/summary#bkmrk-variant-tickets)
2. [Product](https://bookstack.iconography.co.uk/books/label-printing/page/summary#bkmrk-product-tickets)
3. [Collection](https://bookstack.iconography.co.uk/books/label-printing/page/summary#bkmrk-collection-tickets)

Each Ticket can be given a header and a footer, and it is possible to set up multiple varieties of each for different events.
