Print configurations within Letters,Tags, Mailings

If you wish to edit the standard tags and labels, or you wish to use non-standard sized tags or labels, you will have to configure your tag/label printer driver for the correct form size. This is an advanced feature and a knowledge of basic programming (specifically, xBase programming) is very helpful. The standard tags and labels come pre-configured to work with Eltron or Zebra printers.

Each time you edit a tag or label, you must confirm that the correct printer and paper size is selected (step 4 through step 11 below)

  • Install your printer in Windows. Confirm that you can print a test page before continuing. If you cannot print a test page, ProfitSystem® will be unable to use the printer. To print a test page, click Start->Settings->Printers to display the Printers folder. Right-click on the printer and select Properties. On the Properties page click the Print Test Page button.
  • Go to Main->Housekeeping->General Setup->Printers. Select the correct printers for Tags and Labels. Tags and labels will use the same printer. You will need to completely close the program and re-start it for the printer settings to take affect.
  • Go to Main->Housekeeping->Letters, Tags, Mailing Labels and select the tag you wish to edit.
  • Select the File Menu->Page Setup->Print Setup.
  • Select the correct printer from the drop-down list.

The following steps work for most print drivers. If your print driver is different you will have to contact your printer manufacturer and inquire as to how to set up custom form sizes.

  • Click Properties. On the Paper tab of the Properties form, double-click the Custom or User-Defined paper size.
  • Enter the width and height of the tag or label.
  • Click Ok to close the Properties form.
  • On the Print Setup form select the Custom or User-Defined paper size.
  • Click Ok to close the Print Setup form.
  • Click Ok to close the Page Setup form.
  • Select the File Menu->Close. Confirm you want to save your changes.

Standard tag/label sizes are as follows:

Height x Width * Pickup Tag = 3 in x 4.25 in * Accessory Tag = 1 in x 3 in * Garment Tags = 2 in x 4 in * Fitting Label 6' x 4' * Bell Jewelry labels .5' x 2.2' * Small 4 up Jewelry/Accessory Label 1' x 2.4' (each label is cut in 4 smaller labels, so when printed the SKU of the inventory item is printed 4 times, great for higher volume)
