Labels
Administration -> Manage Labels
The EverywhereBridal/Prom/Retail allows small size Labels, Tags & full page sheets to be printed for Inventory styles, Fittings and customer Pickup/layaway items.
The system comes with a standard set of system tags/labels which may be used. Standard system tags & labels may not be modified. However with the Manage Labels option custom tags and labels may be created. Standard tag/labels are not replaced by any custom tag/labels created. Custom Tag/Labels are added to the tag/label list for selection.
For small single tags or label printing utilizes the Zebra ZPL/ELP printer languages. For full sheet documents HTML markup language is used.
Documents may be created for price tags, Pickup / Lay-a-way tags, Event Labels, Fittings.
The system is designed to work well with the most popular thermal printer brand, Zebra Technologies. Any model in their line that supports their ZPL tag format language will work well. The most cost effective models in their lineup are are the GC420d and GX420d.
The system offers select merge codes that can be inserted into the label/tag definition and these codes will be replaced with the system values of the item being printed. A list of merge codes for reference are found later in this topic.
ZPL/EPL Instructions
Some talented coders could manually type the label/tag definitions into a text editor, then copy the code into this Manage Labels form, however most users are not talented coders. For these folks Zebra offers a FREE program called the Zebra Designer that allows for a WYSIWYG layout of the tag/label. Output the designed label to a text file then copy the resulting code into the system on this form. Zebra Designer download - click this link.
Example: 4w" x 2H" Tag/Label definition with merge codes
This looks complicated, but with the ZebraDesigner software the actual creation of the label is relatively simple. ZDesigner runs only on a Windows PC.
The process is to install the appropriate ZPL driver for your Zebra printer. Install the zDesigner software, select the driver, design the tag/label in zDesigner, print to file, edit file with text editor for correcting merge codes as necessary, copy text file contents and paste into the EB ZPL/EPL label form. Test print and repeat as necessary to get the tag/label formatted as needed.
Example output of the Label Designer software. This data would be copied into the Manage labels form under EPL or ZPL. ZPL is preferred;

This is what it looks like when printed:
Merge Code Reference
Merge Code Format (Zebra [ZPL] or HTML full page template)
#CODE{parameter}CODE# , i.e. #P1{format: "c2"}P1# or #CLR{length: 10}CLR#
price format command c2 means print 2 decimal places
A merge code entry with no format parameters would look like: #baddr1{}baddr1#
Bar-Codes
ZPL/EPL Label Bar-Codes are created by the Zebra printer during print time. When this merge code is used a bar-code of the QOH bar-code field is printed on the tag in the symbology defined by the tag definition. It will be a 3of9 or a i2of5. -BAR{}BAR- for EPL/ZPL Zebra printer language.
HTML document bar-code printing works by inserting a URL with bar-code printing definitions.
https://everywhereretail.com/barcode?data=0000007&includetext=true
replace data= value (00000007) with the desired data or merge code to convert to 3 of 9, don't need the * since this 3of9 character is inserted automatically into the bar-code. This function returns a image of the 3of9 bar-code which may be handled via standard HTML image syntax/tags. Example:
<img src="https://everywhereretail.com/barcode?data=0000007&includetext=true" width="20%"/>
which always prints the barcode for 0000007, or
<img src="https://everywhereretail.com/barcode?data=#SID{}SID#&includetext=true" width="20%"/>
which prints a pickup inventory sale ID for scanning.
Prints Label logo on ZPL tags

Event Label Merge Codes
Event Label/HTML merge codes for Event recap printed from Event form.

Groom First name + Groom Last Name: gname

Bride city: bcity
Bride zip code: bzip
Bride primary phone: bphone
Source type: source
bride's email: bemail
event date: evdate
Source types: source
event comments for HTML: evcomm
event comments for use in Zebra EPL/ZPL labels: zplcomm
The ZPLCOMM merge code differs from other data variables because notes/comments may have multiple lines of text whereas other fields have only 1 line of text. This requires a special code for the zebra that is not available in the FREE version of the Zdesigner software and that is the ^FB command. below is an example of a line that would properly print the multiline comments, When printing onto a small label the notes will print to the maximum label length, in most cases 4 to 10 lines of text.
