Label & Sticker Printing
Regular receipt printing (receipts, kitchen tickets, bar slips, queue tickets) is
included in every plan and prints on continuous paper rolls. Label and sticker
printing is different — it prints on die-cut labels (pre-cut, fixed-size
stickers on a backing sheet) using a dedicated label printer. That capability is
part of the Advanced Printing add-on.
What you get with the add-on
- A die-cut label printer option on the printer form — pick a command
language, a label size, and see a live preview before you print. - Product barcode labels — a "Print barcode label" button on any product that
has a barcode. The printed barcode scans straight back into the register. - Order-item stickers — a small sticker per item when an order is being
prepared (great for coffee cups, take-away bags, and prep stations). - Bag tags — numbered "Bag 1 of N" stickers for laundry and packaged orders.
Receipts, kitchen tickets, bar slips, queue tickets, and the laundry claim stub
do not need this add-on. Only die-cut labels, stickers, product barcodes,
and bag tags are part of Advanced Printing.
Supported label printers
A label printer speaks a command language. Pick the one that matches your
hardware — this is the most common thing people get wrong.
| Command language | Typical printers | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| ESC/POS | Cheap 2–3" USB/Bluetooth sticker printers | Small die-cut and round labels at 203 dpi (also the standard receipt-printer language) |
| TSPL (TSC) | TSC and compatible desktop printers (incl. many VOZY / Xprinter models) | Text, barcodes, and QR at 203 or 300 dpi |
| ZPL (Zebra) | Zebra desktop and industrial printers | 203 / 300 / 600 dpi; best for 4×6 shipping labels |
The Command language must match the physical printer. A Zebra printer set to
TSPL, or a TSC printer set to ZPL, will feed a blank label or nothing at all.
If unsure, check the sticker on the printer or its box.
Supported label sizes
Pick from standard presets — 2×1, 3×2, 4×6 (TSPL/ZPL only), address, Dymo
sizes, round 1" / 1.5" / 2", jewelry — or set a Custom size in
millimetres with a rectangle, rounded, or circle shape. The size picker only
shows the sizes your chosen command language can actually print, and a live
preview shows the true shape and proportions. Retail barcodes print sharpest at
300 dpi.
Set up a label printer
Enable printing
Go to Preferences → Order and turn on printing if it isn't already on.
Add the printer
Go to Configurations → Printers → New Printer. Give it a name and pick the
connection (Bluetooth, Network, USB, or Serial).
Choose the label settings
Under Label Printing, set the Command language to match your printer.
Choosing TSPL or ZPL switches Media to Die-cut label
automatically; on ESC/POS (a cheap sticker printer) set Media to
Die-cut label yourself. Then pick a Label size (or Custom). Check the
live preview, then save.
Route order stickers (optional)
On the printer's Print Routing Rules, add an assignment with the Label
role so order-item stickers print automatically. Leave it off if you only want
to print product barcodes on demand.
Use Test print on the printer's detail screen to send a small test label
before your first real print — it confirms the size, command language, and
connection are all correct.
Print a product barcode label
Give the product a barcode
Open a product, enter a Barcode (or tap Generate Code), and save.
Print the label
A Print barcode label button appears at the bottom of the product form.
Tap it to open the print dialog, then choose the label type (see Label
presets below), the label printer (if you have more than one), the
label size, and how many copies — a live preview shows the sticker
before you print.
Scan it back
The printed barcode scans straight into the POS register and adds the product
to the cart — no manual lookup.
Label presets
Every label prints from a preset — a ready-made layout that fills itself in
from your data (product name, price, SKU, barcode, dates, and more). Presets are
business-neutral, so the same set works for a coffee shop, a hardware store,
a pharmacy, a repair shop, or a laundry. You pick a preset in the print dialog's
Label type menu; a live preview shows the result before you print.
The menu only lists presets that make sense for what you're printing — it filters
by your store's business type, your printer's command language, and
whether the item actually has the fields a preset needs. Examples of built-in
presets:
| Preset | Good for |
|---|---|
| Product Barcode / Price Tag / Shelf Label | Retail, grocery, hardware |
| Cup / Takeout / Ingredient / Expiration | Cafés, restaurants, bakeries |
| Serial / Repair / QR-Asset | Electronics, repair services |
| Laundry Claim / Bag Tag | Laundry, dry cleaning |
| Shipping / Address / Customer | Any store that ships |
| Inventory / Jewelry / Gift / Plant | Inventory bins and specialty retail |
Presets are read-only in this release — pick one and print. A custom label
designer is planned for a future update.
How labels reach the printer
- Bluetooth label printers print directly from your phone.
- USB, Network, and Serial label printers print through the Fuze Store Hub
desktop app on a computer in your store — the same Hub that handles receipts. - Web printing (from a browser) always goes through the Hub.
Industrial Zebra / TSC printers are most reliable over USB or Network via the
Fuze Store Hub. Bluetooth label printing depends on the specific printer, so
test yours before relying on it during service.
