Question: How do you create and print labels? #1068

Closed gregcornell closed 9 years ago

gregcornell commented 9 years ago

I am having troubles trying to find a way to quickly format and print labels for assets using QR codes. Currently I am using a DYMO LabelWriter 450 DUO Label and their label making software and the process is tedious and extremely time consuming.

I am wondering what other users have done in terms of formatting and printing labels quickly.

Any feedback is greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Please see the documentation on generating labels: http://docs.snipeitapp.com/manual/labels.html

I see what @gregcornell is saying. I'm thinking it it wouldn't be too difficult to code something for Snipe-IT to have the option of generating a bunch of DYMO compatible .label files (which are just XML).

I've looked into this a little. If one were to generate say a .zip archive of .label files, I think only the URL bit needs changing - then just download, extract, select and Send To DYMO printer.

Having done this manually the DYMO v.8 software generates and prints identical QR codes to those outputted by Snipe-IT.
