barcoding items

I use Code 128A barcodes for all items. I print labels in two sizes: standard mailing label and a custom 4.25x5.5, both directly from RMS using a variety of regular laser printers (HP, Brother, Lexmark). I use MetroLogic

9520 scanners at the POS terminals and a Symbol MC9000 Pocket PC scanner for inventory/receiving. Never had a problem with either scanner.

I had a Zebra barcode printer but eBay'd it after realizing it was just an expensive and complicated way to accomplish a task that could be effectively performed for less money and with fewer complications by the hardware I already had.

Good luck, Tom

Kathy,

What's the problem?

If you wish to use the RMS Label designer, install the printer using Cognitive's Windows driver and design a new label, as there is no pre-designed label for that printer.

If you wish to have more control over the label design, install the printer with the Windows Generic/Text only driver and select the BB1x2 or BB2x2 labels for starters, as samples.
