Label & barcode printing

What the label printing integration does

Every lot that enters an auction house has to be identified, stored, found again for viewing and packed after the sale. Selloff prints the labels for these steps on Zebra thermal label printers, directly from the browser, through Zebra Browser Print.

Which labels Selloff prints

• Lot reference labels, printed at intake: the lot's internal reference in large type, a Code 39 barcode of the reference, the packaging, and optionally the receipt number and the consignor's client number.
• Lot number labels, printed once the catalogue is numbered: the lot number, the lot reference, the sale and the lot's category.
• Address labels for clients and shipments, and shipping labels from invoices.

How it works

1. Install Zebra Browser Print on the workstation connected to the printer.
2. In Selloff, choose the printer once; the choice is remembered on that workstation.
3. Print a label from a lot, a catalogue, a client or a shipment. Selloff builds the label in ZPL and sends it straight to the printer, in the quantity proposed from the lot's packaging or the one you enter.

The label width and height are set once in Settings › Branding, and each user sets the resolution of their printer so that text and barcodes print at the right size. The barcodes are the ones read when scanning and packing lots. See also lot references & barcode labels.
