Label settings ============================
This article describes the settings in the category Labels under the Inventory module in Sapera. The settings control how labels are generated and printed from the stock and product screens, including choice of printer, template format, margins and default barcode type.
The settings are found in Financial under Setup → Settings → Inventory → Labels.
If you cannot see the menu item, you most likely do not have permission for it. Contact support.
Note that the setting names are shown in English in the user interface, exactly as specified below.
Label Printer: Here you specify the printer to be used when printing labels. The printer is normally set up under Settings → Printers on the agent, from which it appears as an option in this field.
The settings in this section — template, margins and paper size — are only active if Use Label Direct Print is turned on. If the setting is turned off, the label is instead generated by the Microsoft Reporting Engine.
Use Label Direct Print: Specifies whether Sapera should use label direct print. When the setting is turned on, the template and layout settings below are used to control the label printing directly.
Template: Here you specify the label template, which determines how the label looks. The template consists of fields in curly braces, which are replaced with the product's data at printing, as well as formatting commands in angle brackets.
Example of default template:
`<font name="Verdana" size=11>` `<b>` `<c>` `Customer Name Ltd.` `<\b>` `<\c>` `<font name="Verdana" size=8>` `{Product.DisplayName}` `<space height=2>` `Price kr: <right>{SalesPrice}<\right>` `<\font>` `{barcode width=40 height=5}` `<font name="Verdana" size=8>` `<c>` `{Product.Identifier}` `<\c>` `<\font>`
The following data fields are supported in the template:
{Product.Identifier}: Item number.
{Product.DisplayName}: The product's display name.
{Product.Location}: The product's first location.
{Product.Locations}: All of the product's locations, comma-separated.

{Variant.DisplayName}: The variant's display name.

{Variant.Value2}: The variant's second value.
{Variant.Value3}: The variant's third value.
{Instance.Identifier}: The serial number item's ID.
{Instance.DisplayName}: The serial number item's display name.
{Instance.SerialNumber}: Serial number.
{Instance.RegistrationNumber}: Registration number.
{Instance.Value1}: The serial number item's first value.
{Instance.Value2}: The serial number item's second value.
{Instance.Value3}: The serial number item's third value.

Right-aligned text: Start with `<right>` and end with `<\right>`.
Font and size: Specified with e.g. `<font name="Verdana" size=10>` and ended with `<\font>`.

Barcode: `{barcode width=40 height=5}` inserts the barcode with the specified width and height.
Image: `{image id=1 x=0 y=0 width=20 height=20}` inserts an image with the specified position and size.
Top Margin: Distance between the label's top edge and the content. The default value is 2.
