How to Print Labels Correctly in Syncrostore
Learn how to properly print barcode labels in Syncrostore, including selecting items, choosing the correct label format, and troubleshooting common printing issues.
Overview
Printing labels in Syncrostore is straightforward once you understand how selection, label formats, and printer settings work together. This guide walks through the correct process and highlights common mistakes that cause printing issues.
Step 1: Select the Correct Items
Before printing, make sure you select the specific inventory items you want labels for.
- If you do not select any items and click Print Barcodes, Syncrostore will generate labels for all inventory items
- To avoid this, manually select only the items you want to print
Step 2: Choose the Correct Label Format
Go to Print Options and verify your label format.
- Select the correct label type (example: Dymo 30347)
- If your store uses dual pricing:
- Choose a label format that includes dual pricing
- Enable Include Dual Pricing Cash and Credit
If you select a non-dual pricing format in a dual pricing store, both prices will not appear on the label
Step 3: Print Labels
After selecting items and confirming your format:
- Click Print Barcodes
- Review the preview screen
- Adjust Quantity to Print if needed
- Click Print Selected
You will then see a preview of each label before sending it to your printer
Step 4: Printing a Single Label
To print a single label:
- Click Print Label on the inventory item
- Syncrostore will use your currently selected label format
Important: Preview vs Printer Output
If your label looks correct in the preview but prints incorrectly:
Syncrostore has already done its job correctly
At that point, the issue is almost always related to your printer settings
Common Printing Issues (Not Syncrostore)
Check the following:
- Incorrect label size selected in printer settings
- Printer scaling set to:
- Fit to page
- Fit to printable area
- Missing or incorrect printer drivers
- Incorrect printer selected
- OS or browser print settings interfering
If the printed label does not match the preview, the issue is outside Syncrostore
Best Practices
- Always select only the items you want to print
- Double-check your label format before printing
- Use 1:1 scale (no scaling or fitting)
- Confirm your printer is configured for the correct label size
- If something looks off, compare it to the preview first
Summary
- Syncrostore generates labels exactly as shown in the preview
- Most printing problems are caused by printer or system settings
- Proper selection and label format setup will prevent the majority of issues
