Learn how to print item and customer labels in the Wise staff client.

After a batch of labels is created using Generate location, label per item or Generate item or customer labels, use the Print item or customer labels option to print the batch.

Print labels

Go to Items > Labels > Print item or customer labels. The Item/Customer labels window opens.
Select a print batch from the Batch drop-down menu.
Note: Once a batch is printed the first time, it is removed from this list. To reprint a batch:
1. Check the Request already printed batches box.
2. Enter the dates of the previous batch in the Print date fields, or barcodes in the Barcode from/to fields.
Select a Label type, Items or Customer.
Optional. To print a different quantity of labels than indicated when they were added to the batch, enter that number in the Number of labels to be generated field.
Optional. To select a different branch than the logged in location, select one from the Branch drop-down menu.
Optional. To print at a different starting point, enter a Start with number.
Select a label style from the Style sheet drop-down menu.

- Input order
- Order ID - Branch
- Head word - Branch
- Branch - Order ID
- Order ID - Branch name
- Send ID - Order ID
- Customer name Note: This option can only be selected when printing customer labels.

Generate and print copy labels

Labels of available customer numbers can be generated and printed.

Go to Items > Labels > Print item or customer labels.
Select Customers from the Label type.
Enter the Number of labels to be generated, select a Branch if it is not the current branch, and a Start with number.
Select one of the Barcode style sheets.
Optional. Select Customer name from the Sorting drop-down menu.
Click Print.

The customer numbers are generated and printed. Because Wise remembers which number was last generated, double customer numbers are not printed.

Print a list of unused generated customer numbers

A list of unused system-generated customer numbers can be retrieved and sent to the printer to create customer labels. Your software administrator can do this using the following process:

Go to Items > Labels > Print item or customer labels.
Select Customer for Label type.
Enter the Number of labels to be generated.
Select a print style sheet or a custom style sheet.
Click Print.
- If you are using your own style sheet, you are finished once you select your printer
- If you need to format the labels before printing, save as a print file.
  1. Open the file and copy the first generated number.
  2. Go to the mysqu-prompt and enter the following command:
    select zebra from spine label where batch=(select batch from spine label where zebra="xxxxxxxxx");
    replacexxxxxxxxxwith the first generated number. This will create a list of all generated unused numbers.
  3. Copy and paste this list into a document and print it.
