Correct missing details and a barcode that cannot fit

Refuse missing required data and over-wide codes, then correct the actual fields and regenerate.

For operators

Refuse missing required data and over-wide codes, then correct the actual fields and regenerate.

Read these instructions on any device. Watch or practise a chapter on a desktop or laptop, with a desktop or mobile application layout. Demonstrations use sample data and simulated scanners.

Correct missing details and a barcode that cannot fit

  1. Clear the required location to see the warning

    Clear the required location to see the warning.

    A missing location blocks PDF generation. Correct the required value before continuing.

  2. Enter the example bin location

    Enter the example bin location.

    The location stays as text. Its exact value is the barcode value while it is bound to Location ID.

  3. Choose a separate barcode value

    Choose a separate barcode value.

    The displayed location and the code returned by the scanner can be different. Review that difference deliberately.

  4. Try an example barcode that cannot fit

    Try an example barcode that cannot fit.

    This example is too wide for the fixed Code 128 area. The fit check must refuse it rather than shrink the barcode.

  5. Check the over-wide barcode

    Check the over-wide barcode.

    The real layout check refuses the barcode. No partial PDF is offered. Shorten the value or choose an appropriate barcode format.

  6. Enter the exact scan value

    Enter the exact scan value.

    The six-character value keeps every leading zero. Changing a separate value does not change the visible location.

  7. Check the card and generate the PDF

    Check the card and generate the PDF.

    The real worker checks the text and barcode fit, then makes the PDF. Its preview uses those completed bytes.

  8. Download the checked PDF

    Download the checked PDF.

    The PDF already contains the requested pages and copies. Print it at actual size on the printing computer. Downloading it does not prove a card printed.
