Overview

To print barcode labels, a file containing the label details needs to be downloaded. The format for the labels come from the Job Sheet which needs to include a Labels worksheet and from this the label file is generated. The file is generated and downloaded when in Quoting, after Acceptance, Labels is selected from the Options dropdown or from Job Tracking line items. On Windows computers BUZ uses Windows Association, that is a file-name extension is Associated with the application that can open it, just like when you double click an Excel file and it opens Excel. Clicking the BUZ Label file will cause the Label Print program to run and print the contents of the file. On MAC a similiar function is done using CUPS.
