7) Within Printing Preferences, select the "Stocks" tab and then select "New" to create a stock named "BIN".  Indicate the Label Width to be 2.00" and the Label Height to be 1.12".  Select OK to complete this tab.  Note: the Option > Darkness value at time is modified to make the print of the label darker - only modify this value if needed.

If the Zebra LP 2824 is to be shared within the network, right click on the "ZDesigner LP 2824" printer within the Printers and Faxes screen and select "Sharing..." and then determine an appropriate name for the printer.  This is the name of the printer to which other users will recognize the printer when creating the shared environment.  Select Apply to complete the sharing process.

 

Zebra LP 2824 setup and configuration is complete.

 

1) Within TransActPOS, select System > Form/Label Editor > Label > New and then enter a recognizable Label ID and an appropriate description for the item label which you are creating.

2) The Type of Printer will be "Window", the Type of Label will be "Bin", the Label Format will be "Individual", and the Labels per Row may be left at "0".

3) Next, select "Modify Label" to create the desired label format.

4) Within the label editor, select File > Page Setup.  Below the "Printer" section of Report Properties, select "Page Setup" and then select "Printer".  Locate the ZDesigner printer just created in the previous steps.  With the label printer selected, the Size field will now have the "BIN" label format available.  Typically, this is defaulted to the "user defined" value and will need to be changed to "BIN".   If the appropriate "Size" is not selected, the printing behavior will be less than desirable.

5) Once the label format has been modified, press the "Ctrl" and "W" keys at the same time to have the system save the modified label format.
