I haven’t printed barcode labels in a while. When I went to do this, I went to Operations and then Labels. It took me to the support center. What am I doing wrong?
The “Labels” tab is not currently functioning, it is there to inform our customers in the future we will be changing the way you will access labels. Until we have made this change, you will want to access labels through the “Reports” Tab.
