Labels allows you to design and print labels for merchandise and customers, with full support for barcode printing. Predefined label formats are provided.
Labels may be printed directly from CounterPoint data files. No third-party label printing software is required.
A wide array of labeling features is included in the system:
Barcode printing
One-up or multi-up labels
Ability to print customer or item notes
Ability to print user-defined free text
User-defined format control characters for access to special manufacturer-specific printing features
Option to print to disk for integration with word processing, database, or spreadsheet packages
Ability to print labels up to 99 columns wide and 20 lines high
Ability to print current date and time on item labels
Labels may be printed for on-hand inventory, or automatically (via tags) as part of the normal inventory ordering, receiving, or transfer processes.
Inventory labels can be printed for on-hand items, receivings, or transfers. Labels may be printed for customers based on category or customer profiles, or from history based on merchandise purchased during a specific time period.
Provided predefined label layouts are compatible with standard labels. Layouts are supported for pressure-sensitive labels, split (two-up) pressure-sensitive labels, butterfly labels, and perforated hangtags.
Predefined layouts are compatible with direct thermal and thermal transfer printers, including the Barcode Blaster, Barcode Blazer, and LS models from Cognitive Solutions, Inc., and the Eltron LP+ and TLP series of printers.
CounterPoint may be used with a wide variety of printers. Predefined layouts and compatible labels are provided to simplify setup for these popular Cognitive Solutions and Eltron printers.
In a Windows environment, you can also use external label formats which you can define using the NiceLabel Pro label design software (purchased separately).
NiceLabel Pro is a what you see is what you get (WYSIWYG) label designer from NiceWare that allows you to easily create custom labels that you can print to any Windows printer. To simplify this process, CounterPoint includes several sample external labels that you can modify to suit your particular needs.
Setups allow you to control the size of the physical label, the fields you want to print, and their placement on the label. Actual printing is a simple one-step process using the custom formats you have designed.
You can control the number of labels by requesting a specific quantity. Or you can let the system print (for example) three labels for each piece received, one label for each piece on hand, or one label for each item on hand which is on sale. For most activities, the software automatically calculates and prints the desired number of labels.
Specific support is provided for high-speed printing of multiple copies of a single label for the Cognitive Solutions and Eltron series of printers.
Barcodes can be printed directly to virtually any laser or dot matrix printer. A quick-test function is provided to aid in initial setup.
Supported barcode symbologies are UPC-A, UPC-E, EAN/JAN-13, EAN/JAN-8, Code 39, Extended Code 39, Code 128, Interleaved 2 of 5, Codabar, and Zip+4 Postnet. You can control barcode height, width, ratio, checksum, supplementals and text under bar printing.
Up to six multi-up barcode labels can be printed.
Coded cost information can be printed on labels. User-defined encryption ensures that the cost information is readable by the user but not by the customer.
A tag can be generated (within the computer) from a number of functions within the software. Tags can be used to print actual labels immediately or at a later time. For example, in Purchasing, tags may be created automatically as part of the posting of a new P.O. or as part of receiving a P.O. Once created, tags are easily printed, reprinted, or deleted. A report is available listing all outstanding tags.
Information from customer notes and item notes can be printed on labels. This feature provides a way to print text associated with specific items and customers. For example, Labels could print an item's hazardous materials notes.
With the Serial/Lot Number Tracking Option, serial and lot numbers may be printed for transactions, and serial numbers may be printed for on-hand inventory.
In addition to customer notes, Labels can print customer profile information, such as the customer's birthday or color preferences, or whatever information has been retained in the customer's profile.
Mailing labels may be generated for customers who meet certain historical sales criteria, such as all customers who bought more than $100 worth of merchandise at store 1 from categories D, E, or F, between June 1st and July 15th last year.
Labels offers a flexible way to design the labels that you want, and an integrated, trouble-free approach to printing labels as part of daily operations.
