STOCK LABELLING WITH THE ZEBRA ZD410

Have you considered labelling your stock with a barcode label printer, labelling your stock makes it easier for the customer & staff to read the price, looks neater and makes stock-taking easier (quickly scan your stock barcode labels to add them to the stock-take, barcode scanner or FLEX scanning app required).


Labels can be printed directly from the stock screen in FLEX.


The label printer that you will need is the Zebra ZD410.
