🖨️ Generating Product Labels
Follow these steps to generate product labels in the WebManager Admin Portal:
-
Log into WebManager Admin
-
Click Products
-
Select Generate Labels
-
Under the Generate Labels pane:
-
Select a Label Type from the dropdown
-
Choose a Category from the Select Category dropdown, or manually enter ItemIDs:
-
As a horizontal list separated by commas (e.g.,
123,456,789) -
Or as a vertical list (one ItemID per line)
-
-
Click Refresh
-
-
In the Notification Email Settings section, enter an email address to be notified when the labels are ready
-
Optionally, give your label file a custom name
-
Click Generate Labels
Label generation may take a few minutes. When complete, your file will appear under the Generated Labels section.
Click the file name to open it as a PDF. From there, you can save or print using the correct label stock selected during setup.
⚠️ Important: To ensure smooth processing, keep label requests to 400 items or fewer per batch.
🛠️ Troubleshooting Misaligned Labels
If your labels aren’t printing correctly, it's likely due to your printer margin settings. Most printers can’t print edge-to-edge, and PDF viewers sometimes shrink pages to fit printable areas — which misaligns the labels.
🧭 Use the following settings when printing:
-
Scale: Set to 100%
-
Page Scaling: Set to None (Do not use “Shrink to Printable Area” or “Fit to Printable Area”)
-
Auto Rotate and Center: Make sure this is unchecked
-
Select Page Using Document Size: Also unchecked
🔹 Note: Wording may vary depending on your printer or PDF software. The key is: no scaling, no auto-centering, and no size adjustments.
❓ Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q. Can I generate labels for more than one category at once?
A. No, labels can only be generated for one category or a specific list of ItemIDs at a time.
Q. What happens if I exceed the 400-item limit?
A. The request may fail or cause the PDF to generate incorrectly. Split large batches into smaller groups to avoid errors and delays.
Q. What label stock should I use?
A. Use the label stock that corresponds to the template you selected in the Label Type dropdown. Check with your team or supplier for the correct label size.
Q. Can I re-download a label file later?
A. Yes! All generated label files remain listed under Generated Labels in your WebManager portal.
Q. I didn't receive the email notification — what should I do?
A. Double-check that your email was entered correctly in the Notification Email Settings. Also, check your spam or junk folder.
