Edge cases

Variables. Product templates: product_name, sku, barcode, category, weight, description, qr (a link to the product's page), price, price_original, quantity, location, store_name, printed_date, printed_time. Order templates: order_number, order_date, order_time, service_mode, table, pickup_time, staff, remarks, check_code, order_url, customer_name, customer_phone, address, item_name, item_quantity, item_options, item_note, item_price, item_total, sequence (prints as 2 of 5), item_count, items, order_total, discount, payment_status. Variables that depend on the item print only when the value exists.
Barcode blocks accept barcode and sku on product labels, and order_number and check_code on order labels. QR blocks also take qr and order_url. EAN-13 and UPC-A need an exact digit count, so only the product barcode fits them.
It prints as an image, so the result depends on your printer model. If a code prints too small to scan, use larger stock or a 300 dpi printer.
Needs Advanced Printing and permission to change printers. Without the add-on the screens are refused.
Bag tags. A custom order template can carry the batch fields, including the N of M sequence, and be the one batch mode uses. See Bag Tags and Batch Labels.
Delete a template from its page or the list.
