## Make and keep a bin card

1. **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.

2. **Add a short bin description**

   Add a short bin description.

   Use a short description that fits the fixed card. The card is not silently resized to fit long text.

3. **Keep the example part number as text**

   Keep the example part number as text.

   Keep zeroes at the start. Printed text and the selected barcode value are separate choices.

4. **Choose the example printer resolution**

   Choose the example printer resolution.

   Choose the resolution of the printing computer’s printer. This example uses 203 DPI; FactoryCards cannot detect the printer.

5. **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.

6. **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.

7. **Save the editable project**

   Save the editable project.

   Keep an editable project as well as a PDF. It preserves the current fields and print profile, but not the original CSV review history.
