🔥 First-Time Setup (Takes 2 Minutes)

Step 1: Connect your printer

Make sure your Zebra printer is plugged in via USB or connected to your network, and turned ON.

Step 2: Open the app

Launch ERPNext Barcodes Print. The app will automatically detect your ERPNext connection if it's running on the same PC.

Step 3: Test label

Click "Test Print" — if your label comes out right, you're done! If not, check your printer driver with "Zebra Setup Utilities".

🖱️ How to Use (With ERPNext)

Using the app inside ERPNext is completely native. You'll see a new button on your item and product pages:

On any product page in ERPNext, look for the "Print Barcode" button (it appears naturally after installation).
Click the button, and a pop-up window shows you the label preview.
Click "Send to Printer" — the label prints instantly. Done!

💡 Pro tip: You can also add barcode buttons to your sales invoices, delivery notes, or warehouse bins by going to ERPNext Settings → Barcodes in the app.

🧠 How Does It Print So Fast?

Most barcode printing apps first create a PDF file, then send the PDF to the printer. That's slow — PDFs take time to generate, copy, and interpret.

This app skips ALL of that. Instead, it sends raw ZPL (the Zebra printer's native code) directly from ERPNext to your printer through a small helper program (QZ Tray or Zebra Browser Print). The printer understands that code immediately, so printing happens nearly instantly.

🔧 Example of how it feels: You click "Print Label" → your printer buzzes to life in under 1 second → label comes out perfectly formatted. No wait, no errors.

🎨 Make Labels Your Own

You don't need to be a designer or coder. The app includes a simple "Label Builder" with drag-and-drop controls:

Change label size (e.g., 1"x1", 2"x1", 4"x2")
Select barcode types (Code128, EAN, UPC, QR)
Add text, price, or product name to the label
Control font size, boldness, and alignment
Save multiple label templates for different products

The label builder is all visual — just click and type.
