Frequently Asked Questions

What barcode formats are supported?

The tool supports Code 128 (general purpose), Code 39 (industrial), EAN-13 (retail), and QR Code (2D). Code 128 is recommended for most applications due to its compact size and full character support.

How many barcodes can I generate at once?

There is no strict limit, but practical considerations apply. For very large batches (1000+), consider splitting into multiple PDFs. The preview shows 20-100 barcodes per page depending on template.

Can I customize label size?

Yes, select the Custom template option to define your own label dimensions, margins, and layout. Enter measurements in millimeters for precise control over label positioning.

Why are my barcodes misaligned when printing?

Misalignment usually results from printer scaling settings. Ensure your PDF viewer is set to 100% or Actual Size, not Fit to Page. Also verify you selected the correct template for your label sheets.

Can I save my label design?

Currently, each session generates a new PDF. For recurring label needs, save your CSV data file and reuse it. Future versions may support template saving and reuse.

What paper sizes are supported?

The tool supports both US Letter (8.5 x 11 inches) and A4 (210 x 297mm) label sheets. Select templates are available for each standard. Custom templates can be defined for any paper size.

How do I include product names on labels?

When entering data, include the label text after a comma. For example: ITEM001,Widget Pro displays "ITEM001" as the barcode and "Widget Pro" as human-readable text below it.
