Generating Labels

We use a Zebra GK420t Thermal Transfer Printer. We use two labels: 2" Wide x 1" High or 2" Wide x 1/2" High.

Stands and other big surfaces uses the 1" labels with Barcodes Expendables, smaller area items use the 1/2" Labels

For the 1/2" Labels, we can use barcodes or QR Codes. The QR Codes are MUCH smaller and we use it for small spaces.

We use the Zebra Designer 3 Software to print the labels. It can print sequentially numbered labels.

• Open the Design Tag 1x2 H
• Select the Barcode
• Under "Advanced Properties...", make sure Limit Length is set to 6 (for 4 digit labels) or 8 (for 6 digit labels)
• Set the Initial Value to be the "next label #" from the Sequential Asset Label Record
• Set the number of Labels to print (should be a good number)
• Select Print
• Make sure "DARKNESS" is set to 25

Label Placements

The key thing with labels is to be consistent for the type of gear, so we always know where to look. Most things that wrap around a circular item (stands, frames), use a Vertical label so barcode lines can be scanned regardless of the way stand is facing.

• Stands - On main body, near collet. Use big labels - Vertical
• Milk Crates - Use QR Codes, on the left of the milk crate, on 3 sides
• Frames - On crossbar if present, on hook, rarely on the pin (if no other choice) as they get destroyed fast.
