A barcode is the small image of lines (bars) and spaces that is affixed to store products to identify a particular item number. Now in Ginesys, barcode configuration files can be created and stored with a name so that whenever the file with that particular configuration needs to be printed it can be just selected from a list. In other words, maintaining and using your barcode printing file can be done in Ginesys itself. This is a much simpler version of the barcode printing available from the Ginesys desktop.

The Barcode Print Label is still available at - Ginesys Desktop > Procurement > Barcode Print Label.
