CounterPoint SQL Enterprise allows you to print labels for merchandise and customers and supports barcode printing. CounterPoint includes out-of-the-box labels which may be printed directly from CounterPoint to any Windows printer, including dedicated thermal label printers and most laser and inkjet printers. No third-party label printing software is required.

With CounterPoint, you can:

• Print item labels--including barcodes--directly from CounterPoint
• Print item labels immediately after posting a purchase request, receiving, or transfer
• Generate and print a variety of labels--including customer labels, shipping labels, file folder labels, and more

Predefined labels are included with CounterPoint, or you may design new labels using NiceLabel Pro software from NiceWare (purchased separately).

CounterPoint includes a number of predefined label jobs, which define the layout and content of particular types of labels. These label jobs allow you to print, for example, labels for items that are on file, labels for items on unposted receivings, labels for customers who are on file, and labels for customers based on ticket history.

CounterPoint's predefined label layouts are compatible with industry-standard labels. Layouts are supported for pressure-sensitive labels, split (two-up) pressure-sensitive labels, butterfly labels, and perforated hangtags.

Specific support is provided for high-speed printing of multiple copies of a single label.

Predefined layouts and compatible labels simplify setup for several popular Cognitive Solutions and Eltron printers. You can also use a laser printer and standard Avery labels.

You can modify the predefined label formats or create your own label formats using NiceLabel Pro label design software (purchased separately).

NiceLabel Pro is a "what you see is what you get" (WYSIWYG) label designer that allows you to easily create labels that can retrieve data from any CounterPoint field or table--including custom fields and tables--and format them for a variety of printers.

Supported barcode symbologies include UPC-A, UPC-E, EAN/JAN-13, Code 39, Interleaved 2 of 5, Codabar, and many others. You can control the barcode height, width, and text under bar printing.

Coded cost and date information can be printed on labels using NiceLabel Pro (purchased separately). User-defined encryption ensures that the cost information is readable by you, but not by your customer.

Item and customer notes can also be printed on labels so you can print the text associated with specific items and customers, categories and subcategories, or notes. For example, you could print a plant's care instructions.

In addition to notes, you can print profile information on labels, such as the customer's birthday or the item's recommended age group.

Mailing labels may be generated for customers who meet certain historical sales criteria, such as all customers who bought more than $100 worth of merchandise at Store 1 from categories D or F, between June 1st and July 15th last year, printed in ZIP code order.

Labels may be printed for customers or employees to serve as membership or ID cards, with optional machine-readable (barcoded) identification.

CounterPoint offers an integrated, trouble-free approach to printing labels as part of daily operations. When used with NiceLabel Pro (purchased separately), CounterPoint gives you the flexibility to customize the labels the way you want.
