Test the scanner first, so you see what it sends before the first sale. Labels with the right barcode and price keep the shelf and the till in step.

See what your barcode scanner sends before you use it at the till
In every edition
How do I check that my barcode scanner is working? The scanner tab has a try-it box. Scan a code into it to see what arrived, how long it was, and whether it ended with Enter. It looks nothing up.
Without it
A new scanner can send a code with extra letters or numbers around it, or without the Enter that finishes a scan. You may only find out when a sale goes wrong.
With it
You scan a code into a test box and see exactly what arrived. The box also shows what the till would receive after the removal settings are applied.
It also shows whether the scanner came in like a scanner or like typing. Last, it shows what the till would receive after the removal settings. The box looks nothing up, so it does not touch any product.
Scan into the try-it box to check the scanner before the first sale.

Print the label for the pack you are pricing, with its own price
Professional only
Can I print a label with the carton barcode and the carton price? The label page has a level picker, and the label prints the barcode and price of the level you choose.
Without it
The same goods can be sold as a single piece, a box or a carton, each with its own price. A label printed for the wrong pack puts the wrong price on the shelf.
With it
On the label page you pick the pack, and the label prints that pack's barcode and its price. The label on the shelf matches the pack beside it.
A product can be sold in packs, and each pack has its own barcode and its own price. Choose the piece, the box or the carton, and the label prints the barcode and price of that level. Each level's barcode and price come from the product's own pack settings.

Print the labels for many products in one run, not one at a time
Professional only
Can I print labels for many products in one go? Pick products from a list or from a filtered product list, and print their labels in one run. Each label carries the name, the barcode with its digits, and the price.
Without it
Labelling a shelf of products one at a time means repeating the same steps for each product. The shelf stays unlabelled until the last one is done.
With it
Pick the products from the list, or narrow the list first, and print their labels in one run. Each label carries the name, the barcode and the price.
Search or filter the product list to the products you need. Choose the products, then print their labels together. Each label shows the product name, the barcode with its digits printed so a person can read them, and the price. The labels come out in one run, so you do not go back to the same screen for each product.
