Generate barcodes & print labels
Once a product is priced, Tangerine Star can generate a scannable code for it and print a thermal label built for the shelf. Printing works the same wherever you start it.
Where you print from
The Print dialog opens from anywhere you're looking at products:
- a product's page (its action bar)
- the product catalog — select several and print them together
- a vendor's page — print that vendor's products
- a purchase order — print a single line, or the whole order at once
The print dialog
Everything for a print run lives in one dialog, with a live preview on the right that updates as you change settings.
Choose a printer
Pick from your configured printers. Each shows a live readiness badge — connected, unreachable, or offline — so you know it'll print before you send. See Setting up Printers.
Set the label size
Choose the label stock, orientation (landscape or portrait), and how many labels sit across a row.
Pick the barcode
Choose which value to encode — Auto (prefers the product's SKU, falls back to its UPC) — and the code type. QR is the default, and it's what we recommend for thermal labels.
Adjust the layout
Set the fonts and sizes for the product name and price, and drag the name, price, and barcode where you want them on the label.
Choose quantities and print
Check the items to print and set how many of each, then hit Print.
How the label reaches the printer
- Seymour printers run the job in the background — no browser print dialog, and you can keep working on another device.
- Browser print opens your computer's normal print dialog for any network or USB printer.
Live progress shows for Seymour jobs, and you can watch recent print jobs on the printers hub.
