**Important Note:** 

If you are printing barcodes/Labels for POS scan purposes, kindly use the `Code-128` barcode type only.

2. Adjust the quantity of each product’s label (*No. of labels*).
3. Select the information you want to display in labels by checking/unchecking the options under the “Information to show in labels” heading.
4. Select the Barcode Setting according to your sticker. We have included some commonly used settings.\
   You can add a new setting from `Settings -> Barcode Settings` menu.
5. Click on Preview to view the labels.
6. If everything looks good, you can print it on the Print button.
7. If some information is displayed half because of sticker size, then it is advised to hide them or use 20 Labels Per sheet settings.

### Add Custom Barcode Settings <a href="#error-01-unsupported-sku-id-for-the-selected-barcode-type" id="error-01-unsupported-sku-id-for-the-selected-barcode-type"></a>

If you want to create a custom barcode setting here we have 2 options that you can configure step by step. It will also help resolve the half-cutting sticker size and give me flexibility on your labels.

Go to `settings -> Barcode settings -> add new setting`

Fill in the below image details and click save/update.

### Common Errors <a href="#error-01-unsupported-sku-id-for-the-selected-barcode-type" id="error-01-unsupported-sku-id-for-the-selected-barcode-type"></a>

#### <mark style="color:red;">Error 01:</mark> Unsupported SKU ID for the selected barcode type <a href="#error-01-unsupported-sku-id-for-the-selected-barcode-type" id="error-01-unsupported-sku-id-for-the-selected-barcode-type"></a>

This error means the SKU provided by you when creating the product doesn’t satisfy the encoding as per the barcode type.

The solution can be to edit the product, change the barcode type to “**Code 128**” save & try printing the label again.

#### <mark style="color:red;">Error 02:</mark> 000000 before the SKU while scanning the barcode <a href="#error-02-000000-before-the-sku-while-scanning-the-barcode" id="error-02-000000-before-the-sku-while-scanning-the-barcode"></a>

The main reason for this is in the barcode type EAN-13 or others, you need to change to Code-128 and it will work fine as the Code-128 has universal reading methods and is compatible with product SKU only.

So, to avoid issues with leading zeros in EAN-13 barcodes as it is scanning country code, company prefix, and other details,&#x20;

{% hint style="success" %}
**Solution:**&#x20;

We recommend changing from any other barcode type from your product setting to `Code 128` format and reprinting it.
