Printing Labels/ZPL Printer Configuration

ZPL printer allows users to print labels of items and ingredients based on the quantity of items that are configured in Receiving. The label contains the item barcode, item price, and item name.

Once users enter the required number of items in the Quantity field under Receiving à Item List, the same is auto populated in the Print Label Quantity field. The auto-populate feature works only when the system preference is enabled, if not enabled then users must manually enter the quantity of labels to be printed for an item in the Print Label Quantity field.

For example, if user enters 10 in the Quantity field for an item, then the same gets auto populated in the Print Label Quantity field.
