Example: Batch printing barcodes to 5164 label sheets (2 columns, 3 rows) |
Step 1: Click the 'Printer Setup' button and set the paper size to: Width: 21.59 cm, Height: 27.94 cm --- standard letter paper size. If you are using A4 or other paper, set the actual size accordingly. |
Step 2: Set the barcode size to: Width: 8.95 cm, Height: 7.47 cm. This is slightly smaller than the label paper size to allow for some margins on the labels. The barcode size is determined by these parameters: paper size; number of labels per page (number of rows and columns); top, bottom, left, and right margins; line spacing; column spacing. You can also click the 'Calc Size' button to automatically calculate the optimal barcode size for the label paper. |
Step 3: Set the page layout for printing the labels: In this matrix label sheet, we set each page to 2 columns and 3 rows. |
Step 4: Set the label margins, leaving some margins on the label edges. When printed barcodes and labels are not aligned as intended, there could be several reasons, such as incorrect paper placement or printer inconsistencies. You can adjust the page margins in the program to align the printed positions for each label. |
Tip: Setting both 'Page Left Margin' and 'Label Left Margin' will shift the barcodes to the right on the page. The difference is that 'Page Left Margin' only affects the leftmost column of barcodes, while 'Label Left Margin' affects all barcodes. |

In this example, we use data imported from Excel to batch print labels. Please refer to other articles for details. |
This program predefines a series of commonly used templates, including common label papers such as 5160 and 5161. |
You can also customize your own templates. Clicking the 'Save' button will save the program's current settings as a template file for direct use next time without having to manually set the parameters again. |
For label papers without predefined templates, you can use the 'Setup Wizard' program to help set the parameters. The image below shows how to select a predefined template. |
The image below shows how to automatically calculate the optimal barcode size for the label paper. |

The above are screenshots of the standard version of the barcode program. The steps for using the professional version are similar, as shown in the screenshot below. |
|
In Step 4, 'Label Width / Height' is automatically calculated based on the following parameters and does not require manual adjustment: |
Paper size; number of labels per page (rows and columns); top and bottom margins and left and right margins of the paper; row spacing; column spacing. |
