Greetings,
I’m trying to recreate labels using BarTender with GP fields but am spinning my wheels.  I’m sure the changes are simple, but our version is outdated and I can’t get much support.  We’re on BarTender v10 and GP2013 R2. 

If anyone out there has experience, I’d like to bounce a few question off you.  

Thanks!
Jim

Don’t have time to play the John Lennon song “just sitting here watching the wheels go round…” so we dumped Bar Tender and the corresponding label maker.  I believe the tipping point was the cost for a software upgrade, which really got my wheels turning, because I already didn’t like the product AND they wanted more money.

 

I worked with I.T. and can load/print “Free 3 of 9” bar codes via excel.  So Purchasing prints Avery labels via the old-school printer.  We filter/report from SmartList; export to excel; convert to bar code.

 

So now I sing “I can see clearly now the rain has gone…” even though it’s raining (cats/dogs) here in the Pacific NW – this is CLEARLY a better option.

 

Best of luck.

I was tasked with creating some complex labels for customers and went down the road of purchasing BarTender 2016 R8.  I had it working with GP 2013 and now GP 2018.  Each customer has completely different requirements from QR code and specific data to 3×9 to anything else.  I’m currently creating labels on 4×2 to 4×6.  I’m far from an expert but seem to muddle may way through this.  I’ve attached a sample of one of the GP connected labels printing out of Print Station in the factory.  Do you have a specific question?
