Barcode Labels

Sometimes, a dealership's barcode scanners use a different encoding that the default set for barcode labels. For example, if your dealership uses alphanumeric part numbers (containing both letters and numbers), you may need to change the encoding to Code 128. 

1. Open the Reporting module.
2. From the menu on the left side of the screen, click over the barcode label report you wish to edit.
3. Click the edit pencil at the top of the report page to open the editor.

4. Click over the barcode.
5. In the properties window on the right, click to expand the Symbology section.

6. Choose the encoding. The option that you choose will depend on the barcode scanner that the dealership uses and the part numbers.

If the dealership uses alphanumeric part numbers (containing both letters and numbers), you may need to change the encoding to Code 128.
