You can print the barcodes for any Purchase Option or product in your business from the Inventory on Hand Report.
Staff members can use a printed sheet of barcodes at the point of sale to quickly access and scan barcodes for items instead of scanning the barcode on the item during checkout.
Getting Started
To print a barcode label, you must complete the following steps:
Create a barcode label design using the DYMO Label v.8 software.
Export the Inventory on Hand Report from WellnessLiving as either a .csv or Excel file.
Import the file into the DYMO Label v.8 software and print your barcode labels.
Requirements
A DYMO® 550 Turbo
Microsoft Excel or a compatible spreadsheet application

Key tips
You may need to search your computer for the DYMO Label v.8 software. Look for the DYMO
icon.
WellnessLiving isn’t responsible for any changes to the DYMO Label v.8 software and for any resulting discrepancies in these instructions.
Shorten the name of the exported report and/or shorten the number of digits assigned to barcodes in the barcode column of the report as much as possible. This keeps things organized and prevents errors in the DYMO software.
The barcode printer only prints in black and white. Any color you have set up in your design won’t be printed in color.
