Where do I start with barcoding?
• Determine what information to barcode• How am I going to affix barcodes• Directly on items• On bins/aisles• Print barcode lookup books

How do I create barcodes?
• Once you decide what size label to use and what to print on it you have to create a layout of how it should look.
• There are numerous places in Ventus and VMS GUI to print labels – vendor/customer, inventory and purchase order.
• Enter the label edit function and enter the information to print and where to print it.

How do I print barcodes?
• There are two times to print barcodes• all initial items to label• maintenance or additional labels as data changes
• The initial run should be done with multi-row/column labels on a laser printer due to the sheer volume of labels.
![Page 11: Barcoding for control and profit! What barcoding is and how to make it work for you](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022032804/56649e455503460f94b3985a/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
How do I print barcodes? Cont.
• Initial printing may require sorting and printing labels by different groups• Main division vendor/customer/item/P.O. #• Inventory by location/bin/aisle
• A label printer should be considered for maintenance labels based on volume of labels needed – these range from small personal printers to expensive industrial printers.
